7afe Turbo Options

[95st-celica]

2.5" IC piping is more than sufficient....you dont need anything larger then that...there are a couple threads that have 7afte in the title...i would scroll through them...most have a lot of good info for turboing the 7a...gather all your parts so you have everything and then do it all at once

[Cevax]

These are the parts that are coming soon or that I already have
IC Pipes
Oil Feed
RFL BOV
8psi Waste gate
IC Core
2bar map
boost controller
turbo manifold
80k 7a motor with 5sp transmission
(will post pics next week)

This is all stuff I am missing
Turbo
injectors
spark plugs
piggyback
catch can
fuel pressure regulator
All required gauges





Let me know if I am missing anything, also if anybody have any of the parts that I am missing

I have no intentions of installing this myself

Yea, I have seen honda guys do it all the time and see them with the motor in a few days later.

If you look its like 1 in 5 toyota motor have both harness and ecu. I just figured I could save some money since I didn't need a transmission.

Regardless I did not get it just got a 7a locally. Its a 5sp instead of auto so I might need an ecu but really they aren't that hard to find for usdm

Got the car back from shop today after I broke the body kit, but about a few miles down the road the check engine light came on and engine vibrates at idle and low rpm. Rpm also drops like it is going to shut off, smokes badly at startup I checked the plugs and they are clean. Didnt pull out the plugs and distributer because it is too cold but it sounds like its a bad rotor or a dirty sensor. My new motor is getting all the seals, timing, waterpump replaced.

Hopefully the old workhorse will hold up until the new motor is ready.
(pictures coming soon)
Engine died, that noise I mentioned before now happens across the entire RPM range, louder and faster. Motor is not shutting off but doesn't have any power

got these from etak, everything looks good. My car is not a 6gc but everything should work fine.
old motor is blown, must have abused it too much in the snow but the new 7a should be done by the end of the week.

I went to the mechanic today to check progress, and ask a few questions. I tried to take some photos but i only had a cellphone camera so they look like crap.








I took other but really whats the point and this is from a 5meg cellphone camera and my 3 meg regular camera, nvm my film camera is years ahead of these crap devices that come to the states.

Well anyway the auto transmission is going back in, the 5sp is going to have to wait. Having a hard time getting all the parts and I want to wait to get the turbo working properly. Our plans are to install the intercooler and as much piping as we can, the entire exhaust at 2.5 inches and create a down pipe before mounting the turbo. Getting as much installed and created before actually boosting the car that way it stays running stock and just have a pro, do the actuall mount of the turbo and all the electrical and tuning. Since he is mounting the engine at his shop getting all the fab work done while the motor is out will make things easier/ cheaper.

The motor is done, will post pic tomorrow. It is not in the car yet but all seals, timing, water pump are done along with all the "tensioners" (whatever they are called).

I dropped off the inter cooler to get fitted to the car and to begin running the IC pipes to the manifold. The maintenance is done on the 7a but mounting the intercooler with the motor out should be a lot easier.

old and new, if you want a 7a engine pm me, it needs help I didn't check to see what wrong with it but it doesn't sound good so its free as long as you arrange pickup or shipping,


I really wanted to mount a 5sp transmission but just cant afford to be without a car right now. I didn't want to start this now but since my old 7a blew out the new motor had to go in and I couldn't source everything quick enough.



so back to the damn auto





to save money i got this motor with nothing, no harness, ecu, or anything else so it should be put back together by the weekend.
once its back running lets see if tweak will mount this turbo for me.

on the fuel management what do you all think of this.
http://www.sfxperformance.com/parts/TUS1F201.htm

I am going to run lower boost than I originally planed and going to start of at around 4psi or so since I am going to wuss out at least for now because I really cannot afford a grenade 7a. I have never heard of a setup like this just going to put the question out there see if anybody has come across it before.

Thanks, I got the car out but the turbo is not mounted yet. I have a few things I have to work out there are a few weird noises such as a winding noise when I let go of the gas. Other than that this thing moves very well, I was actually surprised when I pushed it and best of all its extremely quiet. My old 7a at high rpm it really woke up, this thing red line will creep in on you. Acceleration is a lot better as well
