Ok, I have set my power goal for my 7a at 200 hp at the wheels.
Now the question is, how? The obvious answer from most is 'slap on a turbo.' but that's not what I want to hear. I am going to re-build my engine soon. Here is my plan: Re-build enging to brand ,new stock condition + a 1.8-2.0mm head gasket to lower compression a hair. Then, underdrive pully, and retard the timing a hair with adjustable cam gears for a 'rolla. Turbocharger +large FMIC and about ten pounds of boost.(maybe up to 14psi). I have also thought about calling up jet and having the rev-limiter on my car raised up to 6500-6800. What do you guys think about that? So, with proper tuning and electronics, what kind of power output do yall think I'd get? I have seen turbo 7a's pulling 170ish, So I have high hopes. keep in mind I am thinking outloud here so... Thanks for reading. Jon |

yea 14psi technically would make for a 100% increase, if it werent for losses due to heat and the fact that turbos are at best 60-70% efficient it will be a great day when 100% efficient turbos are invented and it would be even better if engines ran at 50% efficiency(currently, its like 33% efficiency for an internal combustion engine) with all the stuff you listed, 14psi will get you to at least 200whp, maybe even more. and go to radio shack and make you own ground wire kit for a fraction of the cost of a retail ground wire kit -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition
