why so weak?, hm Options

[vizonofdisorder]

hey i just joined up, i just picked up a 94 st hatch a few weeks ago, all stock except for the 40 or so hours me and my friend dumped on it repainting it a audi charcoal grey, but really what i was wondering is why the 1.8 in the celica is weaker then some others. my last car before this was a 1997 mazda miata, which was a fun car, it had a 1.8 and it put out 136hp and had a 7300 redline..i mean even a baseline integra put out 140hp..i could never really understand giving a car that looks like this 115hp and redline not even worth reaching...oh well, i still like it and hopeing to knock the power up a bit in the near future

actually you CAN swap a G head on the 7afe and make a 7age, but theres alot more involved than just bolting the head on. you need to run some serious engine managment usually, however i think it could be made to work with a G pcm and a piggy back to assist with fueling and timing control.

in the end, a 3sgte swap pans out to be less work and probably cost less.
