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. 
-------------------- Past - 7A-FTE: Will never forget you
Present - 3rd Gen 3S-GTE: Swap in progress QUOTE (SinisterSinner @ Dec 19, 2009 - 10:52 AM)  I dont want to even think of turbos, they blow up way too often... |

OObe, you are doing an outstanding job on your 7A... I hope you are done with it before the spring. I am thinking about just turboing my 7A instead of swapping a 4agze and replacing the supercharger with a turbo... I think with only 122k on my 7a it should be prime for a turbo....

I have 194k on my 7afte so you have no issues. |

How are you bud? Thanks for the comment. I hit the road in my celi today and I noticed that at like 80 mph/160kph, the engine speed is at 4100 rpms, it wouldn't change if I turboed my celi, but is it safe for me to run the 7a at that speed, especially if I turbo my celi. If not, is the 3s any better...The cabin does get pretty loud. I think I"m going to seriously upgrade my stereo...LOL
