That all sounds beautiful and heartwarming, but for $1,000, just get a giant teddy bear made and cuddle with it, because people have already tried it your thing and failed. Do you honestly think you're the first warrior out there with the burning desire and strong willpower to get this engine to pump out decent power? We're not the only people with 7A-FEs, you know. 6GC forums are comprised mostly of young kids with big hope and little money. Well-prepared people have given it a shot already, and it's not worth it going NA. You don't know more than the engineers at Toyota that designed this economy engine with weak internals and narrow valve angles. You don't even plan on spending enough money. $1,000 is like $100 for a car. wink.gif Spend money, or go home. There is no cheap way with a 7A-FE. This is not a 4G63. smile.gif

i know im not the first not to get personal but ive been told my whole live i cant and i wont but that hasnt stoped me before and i remember a quote on time that said ''dont think like toyota think like a tuner'' and that gave me the balls to do this and yea im going to fail like others but i fight for the underdog i see alot of my self in this car it not just metal to me. the 1.8 is the underdog. yea im 19 years old and maybe im just a stupid boy with a unreal dream but i like those odds that will just help me push hard to do the impossible we went to the moon didnt we wink.gif
