Ok, over the past few months i've been gathering parts for a 1mzfe swap. I finally have everything But the ecu, but that's not a big deal. I know the motor will fit, that's not the issue. And i don't want to make huge power 280-300hp at the most.
But here's the delima, i have everything for the 4age head converison. I would like eventually to go turbo and the 1m is not going to leave a lot of room for this, unless i go crazy on the engine bay, and piping will be a pita. Plus the turbo 7age has already been done and has sources for reliabilty, where as the 1m really is not a heavily document motor as to it's abilities. Now my question to you guys is if given a choice, with a goal of 300hp which would you choose? this is something i am going to complete over time, since the celica is no longer a dd, and i work almost continously, hopefully by late summer it'll be done. |

well, the 7a block is fairly stout, but true enough, the later GZE and others as well with the 7 rib block.. it can take a beating and keep going. Plus I believe there are forged cranks, rods, pistons available. AND the Head is super modifiable. Great engine... and there are stroker kits that can bring it back to around1.8 I believe.
