So I was talking to this mechanic about really sooping up my engine itself. I was talking about stronger internal components, also boaring my block as well. The whole 9 yards. Now I know there are very few aftermarket parts for the 7afe, and virtually no upgraded engine internal parts. Soooo, I thought about switching out some performance parts w the corrolla . I know the corrolla has a 7afe. I also know they have a legendary 86 model, (ae86). Does anyone know of any switchable parts that I could use. Maybe find some lighter weight flywheel in corrolla trani. I Havnt looked Into corrolla parts so if anyone knows any I could use please tell me.

If all else fails w the corrolla parts . I plan on forging my bottom end , but don't know who could do that for me . I know the 7a rods are really weak and I actually got thus idea reading a post on a dif Celi site . I also know you need to change your stock ecu when you change major engine components like pistons or cams. The compression rate will fur sure b dif. I read some posts on here and was thinking of buying this ecu called squirt I think it was . If anyone knows a good am ecu, hmu.

the 7a and the 5s are both economy motors, like previously said there heads just arent made for real hp gains. you would think the 5s being a 2.2l would make some power with bolt ons and such but its not made that way, its not like a honda h22 or b18 lol..

i have the 3sgte and it is ballssss man, thing hauls asss but if i had to do it over again id seriously consider the 1mz or 3mz vvti as its a cheaper swap compared to the 3sgte and has great torque and power, put that in a lighter car like the celica compared to 4door family car your going to have a fun ride and will prob be cheaper and def make more power then a 7afte build. just IMO.
