Ok I was thinking about this for a while well over a year. First I was thinking about a 3SGTE swap then chose thought a 4AGZE swap would be more economical. Now I see that a turbo set up is the way to go (for me at least), because of price, availability.
Yea a lot of people might say that if I can take the 3g’s that I’m going to spend on a turbo setup and just do an engine swap. Yea I don’t think so. I’m taking a page out the playbook of those crazy corolla guys. For some reason the love the 7afe engine and I found out why. They have been boosting then 7afe to 280 hp on stock internals. I have found a few sites that have everything I need to do that too. 280 hp from a turbo What do you some of ya’ll think about his? -------------------- |

na i was talking to a corolla guy he has been running 11psi for over 4 years now... with no problems...he says the 7afe is great for boosting alot of people think cause it's and fe head that it will not hold but it holds up to the boost great.
