7agte build diary, my progress so far Options

That's a good point. I think you might want to look into that a bit farther. My 4AFE hg was flipped upside-down (thanks a ton to my dad who put the gasket on when I wasn't looking in the first place) and even though the holes matched up, they still didn't match up 100% perfect. This caused a massive oil leak and took a ton of work to fix with the motor in the car.

I say you should get a 4AG headgasket, to avoid hot spots in the head.  Like I said before, the reason the gaskets are different, is because the 16V head flows water differently than the 4/7AFE/20V.  The gaskets will all fit, more or less, but the way the coolant flows is the big difference.  You'll notice right away when you put the head on the block that you'll probably need to do something about the water inlet/outlet.  The 4/7AFE/20V has both inlet/outlet on the back of the head, while the 4AG typically has one by the water pump, and one in the back of the head.  Get what I'm saying?

hey bee they have both gaskets there the 4ag and the 7af they just want to see the diff but were going with the 4ag

who are you?

[Dr_Tweak]

Yes but Nik, did you try lining it up with the 7AFE flange? I understand it lines up pretty well to the 4AGE flange, but what about the 7AFE?

7AFE and 4AGE ports are nearly identical. It should work the same (B series manifold mod)...

i never lined up the 7af flange just the 4ag if lines up with the 4ag then you should be fine mating the 7afe falnge with that manifold minus a little cutting

if the 255 is good enough for a supra, it's good enough for a high power celica.

walbro have that wine to them i wanted to go external with a box around the pump to quite the noise pretty much get a hole aeromotive fuel set up probably around 1000-1500 with everything lines fittings pump filter etc an its good up to 800 horse not saying i'll see that or anything but down the road add some race gas bigger turbo and slick and see what happens

[Coomer]

Sick project Nik! I can't wait to see this when it's done!

actually nik, from what ive read, if you get an install kit for the walboro that has the foam like "sleeve" that slips over the pump, its supossed to quiet it dramaticly.
IMO the noise from the walboro isnt that loud at all, especially once your actually DRIVING the car. sure, if the car is dead silent, and your sitting at idle, and the car is low on fuel, and its a super hot day, its definetly louder than stock, but its not like its SCREEEEEMMMING loud...lol

np man, just so you know, if you want it to be SILENT aka stock, just get a supra turbo pump from the dealer, thats what art did and he loves it.
