Still think you should go 3s man, but if you want to get crazy you could get two 3sgte's and make a custom block to bind them together, and you could call it the w8sgte!

Thanks, no I'm slacking. Need to get it back on the dyno and to the track, but I want to change up my exhaust before I go back to the dyno. |

Well bad news, driving home from work Friday I stopped at the grocery store and when I left the car bogged down. Thought it was just a plug wire that come off which happened once before, but after some troubleshooting and a lot of curse words I have two cylinders with low compression (1 and 2). I think it's probably the head gasket, but if I'm going back into the engine that far, then I'm just going to pull it out. So I think it's 3rd gen 3sgte time for me and whole supercharger kit for 7a will be up for sale at a very reasonable price.

QUOTE (delusionz @ Apr 21, 2011 - 12:14 AM) If it's like that with a supercharger, I hate to imagine what it's like 7A-FE in naturally aspirated mode  Now imagine a 7A-FE coupled to an automatic transmission. Yeah... Anyway, I can see it does quite a bit for acceleration in the video - lack thereof in first gear, because all he does is spin. Second through third and on, it's much, much faster.

Really interesting, well documented, build. I think you have a good thing going there. I would just pull the head off, replace gasket and if pistons are done, throw in some 4agze pistons. I think an investment in a good ems is a good idea.
We built a 5afze some time ago. Stock 5afe with 4agze sc12 on about 7 psi . You can read about it on my site http://www.budgetracer.webs.com . I still need stop being lazy and update it. Good luck with what ever route you choose to take. |

Pulled it all apart today and indeed the head gasket was blown between cylinders 1 and 2. I ordered a new head gasket kit from toyota. I'll take pics of it and of the reassembly. S/C is not going back on though and will be up for sale.
