st engine upgrades? Options

[hashmaster52]

ive looked a little bit and havent found any (and im not sure if there even are any) engine upgrades for the 7afe. are there? cams or anything to boost up the power even a little?

theres not much you can do to a totaly stock engine.

im getting a $100 ebay header tomorrow and have advanced my timing a little, K&N drop in, changed the stock intake slightly, all of it has a small cumulative effect. for the $50 of parts on the car currently ive probably gained as much as people get with an intake and an exhaust, maybe a little more.

sorry if this sounds dumb, but what is it when you advance your timing and how do you do it?

100hp instantly= 100 shot of nitrous

100hp instantly= 100 shot of nitrous

Then the ST would have a whopping 100hp.

There have been many-a-threads on this topic. A 93-97 corolla header can be modified to fit (make sure it is a 1.8). have an exhaust shop build you a 2.25" exhaust system. You can make your own intake out of some piping and couplers and a K&N filter. No one makes cams for our car, but you can have the stock ones altered to add some hp. I'm not too sure about cam gears. I know a guy who has aftermarket cams on his 7A corolla, but I never found out where they are from.

search the internet learn for yourself because you learn nothing when the asnwers are handed to you.

[lilsteeg]

you can get a flywheel, and some underdrive pullys

[nik]

there are a few things you can do if you go the N/A route but your gains are only going to be small a horse here and there

pulleys obx and ARP
fuel rail
msd stuff
header
greddy exhaust
intake
cam gear obx
p&p
the list goes on but remember you are doing this to a eco motor this is the point where you have to think should i swap or dump money into a eco motor

if you only want to do a few things than fine if your looking for a big gain go turbo

if you want a bigger gain than swap

[nowitzon]

how do u get the cam gear, fuel rail, and pulleys from obx nik?

hey how fast is your car nik?

[tcox22]

since we're all talking about the ALL MIGHTY 7afe ... how much hp can this put out, without nitrous and without a turbo charger... in other words, how much hp can a poor highschool kid like me get out of it.

[jdg371]

Probably around 110hp.. if its a healthy engine.
The best upgrade IMO for a 7AFE is to make it into a 7AGE. Thats the route im going for.. Since ill be happy at a mear 130-140whp.

7AGE:
4AGE head/pistons
7A block and rods
GE intake/exhaust mani

Theres more, but im still researching about it..
Found a site that talks about a 7AGE build

also the timing belt and mounting the alt and other stuff is not easy

[jdg371]

Nik your breaking in the 7AGE right? are you going to do a before and after turbo dyno on it?

His turbo is already on it, so the only "Before" would be his 7A-FtE
