ok so i think i've gathered from this whole forum that the least favored engine of all our cars is the 7-afe but hey most of us are stuck with it. So i've looked around and checked in most post for what everyone has suggested meaning: turbo, nitrous oxide, engine swaps. But turbos for this engine are not only hard to piece together but cause alot of issues. Now what i'm asking for is before we turbo and nos we need internals right? cams, rods, pistons, heads redone...ect. but these are hard to find from what i've looked. maybe its just me and i'm really crappy at looking for parts. soo to make this short if you know where to find cams for a 7 put up a link. if you know where to find FORGED pistons, post a link or light weight and stronger rods....you know the deal by now THANKS guys and girls for the few of you out there

You kinda contradict yourself in here but you're almost on the right track. The n/a motor will have to rev more to make the same power, it might not make less torque, but it will not make it at the lower rpm. Reving higher will greatly increase the stresses in the motor as will the slightly greater cylinder pressures created because of the necessary increase in volumetric efficiency (making the engine breathe better). The turbo engine will have much higher cylinder pressures due to the extra air and fuel entering the cylinders but it will not have to rev nearly as high to make the same power. Because of the way the cam and ignition timing works out, the higher cylinder pressures at lower rpm will actually help to decrease the stresses on the rods, although the crank and its bearings will still see higher stresses. To make a really long story really short, for the same power level its much easier on an engine to be turboed than to have to rev higher without the turbo. That being said, the turbo motor will still have higher stresses than the stock motor. Its almost going to be impossible to make an n/a 7a put out 300hp. Its going to have to rev very very high and the only 'stock' part that will be left is the block. Its definitely possible to make a 300hp 7a with a turbo. I think its even possible with a stock block, crank, cams, and head (ported). But thats just my oppinion and will remain so until I come up with the funds to prove it. |
