Molesting the 7A-FTE..., NEW UPDATES Options

[OOBE]

New update: Been working on an intake manifold for the last two days...just experimenting and stuff. I'm not sure if it's gonna work good or not, but whatever...I've been guinea-pigging for too long to even care about the wasted money so I'm going crazy and reckless with it, LOL.

It's cool how everything starts with a bare aluminum pipe.


I'm installing ARP head studs tomorrow for extra safety and hopefully break-in the engine this week to take it to the dyno. A few pics, since I never provide visual stuff.

The weapon.


Bye-bye, EGR.


Welding the pipe to the stock manifold.




Not aiming for prettiness.


My hands are too small for belonging to a male...I know.


A teaser.


When it's properly polished, it'll look awesome. We had to fabricate a piece to be able to secure the transmission cable to the throttle body. The engineering was tricky but we achieved it.

More later.

I wanna do this to my 7a-fe. I plan on rebuilding the entire engine. What do you suggest for pistons and rods? What did you do about your head? Leave it stock or what? What turbo Manifold did you use.?
