Max Power NA 7afe ????, Dyno Charts Posted Options

Hey all,
I am currently building up my 7afe, i have bought a separate head and have already had new valve guides installed, its been cleaned and i have brand new toyota valves, exhaust and intake, i have had the intake ones machined to have more of the performance "penny on a stick" figure, i will post pics soon but for now here is an example Valves.

I am also going to have the Extrude Hone process ( Extrude Hone ) done to the entire head. The current 7afe in my car has a custom 4-1 headers (Headers), full exhaust, intake, clutch, lightweight flywheel, Apexi S-AFC II, bumped timing to about 14 degrees static timing. If i can find a used GT throttle body i will try to make it work, they seem to be fairly similar. Its been tuned and it has over 225k miles on the original engine. The gear box has been rebuild to brand new, and at last dyno the car was putting just about exactly 100 WHP on a 95 F day.

So i figure its already a healthy working little motor. To make this short, i was wondering who has had the highest NA horsepower out of a 7-afe . I am hoping to be able to build my motor to about 120-130 WHP, that would be ideal but im not sure exactly if i will achieve that goal. The bottom end is going to get first O.S. pistons, the head will be decked for a slightly higher compression ratio, and the entire engine will be blue printed. Then the entire crank assembly will be dynamically balanced with the flywheel and all the accessories on either end of it. Then it will all be put back together and have another tuning session on the dyno.

Now i know that it seems like a lot of money to do everything i am, which it is for only 130 WHP, but im looking to make this a great motor for auto-x. And if i have 200 WHP then ill just create a smoke show, so thats why im not just swapping in something else.

**CLIFF NOTES**

Who has the highest NA power 7afe with dyno numbers to prove it?

Well i finally got the car home, about 1 week ago, and it drove just fine on the way home, kept it under 3K RPM at all costs for the ride home. Then i noticed, when changing my wheels, that i had a small leak around what appeared to be my oil dipstick, so i replaced the O-ring and it appeared like the leak got worse, so i went and bought a Toyota O-ring for the dipstick.

Placed that in and now i just noticed that it is not where my leak is coming from. It appears that my oil pump housing is leaking from the block to housing mating surface, now i did not put this part of the short block together, the machine shop i took the motor to did that, are they responsible for repairing it or do i have to get it fixed and they pay for the bill? the only reason i am asking is because yes, i CAN do this repair myself, but that is part of the engine i specifically did not reassemble for that kind of reason, so what do i do?

and has anyone else had this problem after rebuilding a 7afe? whats the fix or do i just need to take the oil pump off and place a new gasket correctly?

Thanks
Matt
