4AGE head on 7AFE, What is all needed? Options

[onnaj]

Hello,

I'm considering (in the future) to put a 4AGE head on my 7AFE block and create a 7AGE.

But I'm wondering what i'm needing to make this work. I searched on Club4ag.com but can't find the right answer.

I don't look for mass hp increase but i hope i can get somewhere near 130-140 hp and even a bit better torque

This is what i know i should use:
1) the 4age head
2) 4age inlet manifold
3) 4age exhaust manifold
4) Porsche 914 timing belt
5) 7afe head gasket (maybe a TRD one?)
6) ....

Can i stay with my standard exhaust system or does it has to change?

And most important for me: Can i stay with the standard 7afe ECU so no new wiring has to be done?

Thanks!!

good answer Box. you nailed it! now since you are in AL, you should seriously consider a 3MZ. if you dont want to do the DBW extra stuff, then do a 3MZ with VVTI 1MZ heads and electronics. you keep the throttle cable, get the dual throttle bodies, and you will get the HP of a 3MZ. once i get SMOG certified by the NAZIs in CA, i will do this upgrade
