Hello everyone i just bought about a week ago my first toyota
a 94 st coupe with a 4age swap This car has bin for sale in the chicago area, my friend bought it from some guy that could not get a shop to work on it because of the 4age perhaps and how rigged up it is. I bought it from him because my miata is turning into a track car and i could use a cheap reliable daily, i really wanted a mr2 but for the price i thought i can wait another year or so to buy one the hooptie ghey miata and hooptie some junk in the trunk itbs nom nom nom NAWWWSSS BUTTON! (jk previous owner wanted a push start so he cut starter wires and made one -.-) wireless 02 sensor -.- least favorite thing about the car andd what will be the death of me -.- screw aftermarket alarms! and people that install them and have no idea what to do |

yes, and the rolla/ hatchi guys lol "upgrade" to the 7a.. the builds that i have seen that seem to be the most successful are the 7agTe' s in the old 86.. they will swap the 7a's bottom end in place of the 4a... and also IIRC i remember seeing that the 16valve makes more power than the 20 valve when boosted..
my brother was in the area during the time i was porting my head (just gasket matched and some smoothing of the runners and getting rid of the machining/casting imperfections) and is of the opinion that the 7a head could actually make a good bit more power and flow allot more than what most ppl give it credit for.. he said that there is ALLOT of metal that can be removed from the head, both on the intake and exhaust.. and that NA gains could be realized w/ some time on a flow bench (to get measured results) and over sized valves (which can be had for cheap from the 4age/gze head) but the best results would come from a turbo application.. i have 2 spare heads and he will be building my next(full boost) application motor.. and i am curious on how much of an improvement he can get on the flow of the head, but that will be a wile from now as he is still looking for a flow bench that will work for what he wants and for the right $$$ any hoo, rambaling over. .i hope all goes well with your build, what ever the direction you deiced to go ultimately.. IMO stick the the black top, its already in there.. see what you can get out of it! -------------------- |
