thanks for the info on the ones on rpm garage, but i'm not planning on swapping anything until after Basic and Ait, and i don't leave until may, so about 6 months after that i can start taking action on whatever it is a decide to do.
and if i were to turbo the 7A instead of going with the beams i'd 100% buy Smaays kit that he is going to be producing. i've read over his thread on it probably 3-4 times and it looks like really good quality and i could get everything at once for the most part for a good price! only thing i'm not liking about the turbo set up idea is hearing how it takes alot more maintenece and continuous work... but either way, both ideas seem in my mind like its going to cost me about the same in the end -------------------- NOVAKx17

QUOTE Pulled my engine out, getting new pistons made with a new design for better durability. Pistons are being made as we speak , just had the block machined to fit in 4age oil squirters. ... Long time since an update. Had to stick in new rings to the engine. So I reconditioned the head at the same time. New syncros in the g/box as well. Got lots of stuff powder coated and all prettied up. Also another turbo from Masterpower to try out, and now getting full boost before 4k. ... Test fitted my new custom made 7afe rods today. Fit perfect! Engine build has finally begun. that was a bit trickier than I thought, as he changed is mind and rebuilt it here and there. but hopefully this info is helpful for you. -------------------- |

Oh my jesus. that is a sick build.
alot of time effort and money went into that beast.. not to mention alot of custom fabricating... it is helpful, not going to lie, but i doubt whatever way i decide to go that it will be anything like this... just because i have no where near the experience to be able to do anything like that yet, or the money. i guarantee that cost thousands upon thousands .... whatever it is i decide to do, i'm looking to spend between 3-5000 probably. but i really do appreciate all this info, even not doing it, its still really nice to be able to read into it. -------------------- NOVAKx17

YES! do so, i would love to finally know now... and thats awesome... if i decide to go that route, since i'll already have my celica with me in arizona, i might make a little bit further of a venture and when i'm ready just have you install it for me, (with me helping, if you don't mind as a learning experience) that way i would know its done right, and learn how to do it at the same time...
that is if you would be up for that, and i could throw some extra cash your way if your interested in that possibility -------------------- NOVAKx17
