Ok, i can do it....but do i want to do it? I can start right now and by christmas end up with all the little extras.....but is it worth it? I mean it's just an ST, but how badass would it be to have a 200hp ST? I think it'd be sweet specialy with a 5-speed. What kind of turbo's should I look at? Aint no thing to get it in my car cause i have a garage to work at. But should I even think about doing it? better yet is it truelly possible to just get the turbo in a running for 2000 or less. I'm not talking about the controlers and timers and injectors...those come for christmas. So let me know what you guys think. Anyone wanna help lol?

If you have all this money to spend on a 7afe, then I would just buy something worth putting more into. I'm not saying the 7 is a bad engine, its not, its Toyota and its good stuff but it wasnt built for power. It'll take you a helluva lot more money to make it anything near powerful and then what? Thats it, theres no where to go. A 3SGTE has more power stock, and then potential for so much more.
I just think ur going to be throwing alot of money into an engine which is going to beat on with stock ITR's and Civic SI's. -------------------- |
