7afe build, lets see if its worth it Options

[celica74]

So a little history. Have had my 94 st for over three years now. Has had two motors in it. Stock one was neglected so i replaced it with a 95 with half the miles. All the car has done to it is the basics. Short ram intake, exhaust with ebay header, dropped 4 inchs on drop zones(cheap rout i know but im happy with them. Voxx 7.5 rims running 205/40-17s. I love thos car. Cant believe i almost got rid of it for a genesis coupe. Havent done anything to the car in the past year because i bought a bike. But now im back in the car game and ready to spice her up. Have considered many options on what i could do to make then realiable eco friendly cheap slower then a single cam civic motor some pep. Yes ive gone over the 3sgte and 3sge swaps. Honestly there not for me. I almost turbos my car 2 years ago but lacked funds and patience. So the other day i took a drive up to virgia to visit a fellow 6gc owner(or have a one. Hes parting his car). I pics up some goodies from him for a good price. Dont wanna spoil anything. Pics will be up soon on what i got and what my intentions are.

This week i really cracked down on some porting. Got the exhaust touched up and fully completed, and get all but on port left on the intake side.
Heres a good comparison of before and after for the intake side




Heres two pictures of exhaust port, the first one being cyl 3 and the second cyl 4. Anyone who have looked at the exhaust ports on a 7a will note that looking straight into the port of 1 and 4 can see why the 7a never makes any power, same with the 4afe. So to solve this problem, the outside and insides of the ports were ground out to allow a straight line of air(better flow).


I just with i had a before picture to describe this better. Another factor to the 7a not making power in the intake manifold but me and ben are cooking up some ideas to solve this.
Heres a look at the bottom side of the head, on the left upper ports you can see theyve been ported, and the ports to the right of it havent been.

Also, in the combustion chamber on all cylinders there was a small bump, figured it would be a good idea to grind it down to ensure it would be a hot spot, because hot spots can cause per-detination, and pre-detination can ruin a motor, and ruining my motor will turn me into the hulk, no beuno!


I also replaced my starter today. And when i did i noticed that on the front of the trans theres a spot for a starter

Notice the bump with the two bolt holes. Does anyone know what model would have the starter on the front of the c52? None come to mind for me.
