how much Hp do you think that will push. Im looking to get some more power from my 7a.

[edo17982]

without turbo and with good emanage tuning....mmmm....between 150 and 160 bhp.....I'll let you know!

[edo17982]

Yes it will! I've lost like 2 libs from crank and 1.5 libs from flywheel or smthg like that...I dunno yet the cost but between 1000 and 2000$, I'll tell ya when I'll pay! I had to do cause my engine was going bad, in fact I had to trash 2 cams, oil pump and get cylinders honed and rettified crank

[playr158]

yea my engine is headed down that dark path and i'll need to rebuild some time in the semi close future....i'm thinking...bore, p&p, valves...camshaft regrind....flywheel shaved...i never heard of lightening the crank but not a bad idea......what are you doing in terms of rods??

[edo17982]

I'm keeping stock cause I don't aim to too high HP and also I'm out of money and time now

[flipside97LTD]

That's really cool man. It's nice to see someone building up a 7AFE. I'm hoping to do the same in a few months. Nice job!

Another one pic:

[playr158]

what is your bore size??....piston size??? piston part number?

[edo17982]

I bored to 82mm. those Arias pistons are for 4AG engine but they work perfectly with 7afe

[playr158]

82 mm. nice how much was it money wise? how far over is that??

[doGGy]

EDO - YOU SUCK .........

I hate you I Envy you.......


But you do such a great work Bro.....

[Hanyo]

you lie.. it was not so bad with 56k modem...

can someone explain what each one of these mods are and what it does? (like 3 angle vavle.. and regrind crank)

btw.. i'm very impressed

[Digndoug]

Looks nice, but i dont know if its worth all the time and money.. to only be getting around 160hp .. but i guess your not going to be able to get to much more.... good luck

[FallenHero]

celicas have a 82mm bore anyway... So did you just have it honed?

[boosted_K2]

if edo is speaking WHP 160, which i imagine he is considering "turbo and Emanage" then that is a big deal from a 7afe. and a realistic one at that. that car will rip, id expect it to be a little faster than a standard 20V swap. great job edo!

BTW, id suggest doing something to the rods b/c thats one of the bigger known weak spots on the 7A and with all that engine work + boost, id be willing to bet a rod or a bearing will be what breaks on ya (if infact something would). i only say this cuz you dont wanna rip that motor all back apart later on to replace em, might as well do it now while its all apart.

[FallenHero]

they do make upgraded bearings I think, but the rod's would be one-off's. The only option I can think of is Cryo-treatment. That supposedly strengthens them...
