Obx Racing makes Cams Sprockets, UnderDrive Pulleys, and Power Pulleys.
Dont know if it will help much.... Good luck! I also perform on a 7A-FE. -------------------- Chris Malaqui

You say you want aftermarket parts, then you say you're gonna go turbo, and want to strengthen/build the 7afe for the turbo set-up... now... unless someone makes a do-it-yourself motor building kit...  don't waste your time. All of the strengthening stuff (forged pistons [can use 4agze pistons as mentioned] forged crank, custom strengthened rods, etc...) HAS to be custom built. It's not cheap. You can't find a place that will advertise that sort of work on a motor that isn't a popular boost engine... so all you can do, is ask shops to see if they can custom fab parts for you. As far as OBX goes... they "claim" to make a lot of parts, but call em up and 1/2 of their shiat isn't even in production... if those parts were, I'm sure every other ST and corolla dude will have em. |

i called every place i could think of for 7afe internals. average was a 90day wait or more and it was expensive. just run lower boost for now. |
