Conversion Options

[Steevo]

Anyone have any sugestions. My plan is as follows for my poor little 7AFE it is blowing oil out everwhere and the valve seals are leaking.



Get some 4GZE rods, and crank (used). A set of oversize pistons, have this block bored to the 82.5mm with 9.1:1 comp pistons. Turbo kit it, they have garret kits for the 7AFE that fit corrolas, and a ebay intercooler. SAFC2 port the head and intake some. 2" cat back exhaust, aftermarket cat.



I have found cheap engine kits, I know a company that can do thermal coatings, for valves and the pistons. A machine shop around here will do my boring and piston-crank-rod balancing. A toyota dealer has the tool to do the valve shimming, and will rent it out. And a friend has a exhaust shop, and can either do crush bends or will have mandrell bent pieces made, and weld them up, stainless.



So far I have come up with about $3,400.00 ish for everything minus the crank, and rods. But I have no idea where to get them, or if they truly will work. Talking with another gear head on the west coast he used the same setup to get better rods for cheaper than aftermarket, and a better TDC duration for close timing under boost.


Any help is very much appriciated.

i have a built 7agte thats 4ag head on a 7afe block

first the 4ag pistons will work but only the ones with 20mm wrist pins ( if you use the stock 7afe rods)
edo has a 7afe with 4age pistons 7afe head and 7afe rods

4ag rods are too short to work in a 7afe block

and the crank wont work either there is a company in canada that makes a 2.0L crank for the 7afe

go check out my 7agte build that has alot of info in it
