And i would buy it at that price np im looking for a nice cool 200hp DD with other mods of course hoping maybe what? 75-90hp from your kit or no?

[Smaay]

im expecting a 100HP increase

Do you offer lay away? J/k... When are you going to start producing these kits?

[Smaay]

sorry i cant offer lay away. i dont want to hold someones money. i can make the kit whenever someone is ready to get one. im hoping Erynn can get on the dyno soon

[celica74]

what oil lines did you use? i need to know exactly where, size, and everything. Having trouble with mine. hopefully it will help out alot

so far he has said 2grand give or take a few hundred.

[Smaay]

yep right around 2100.

as for the oil line, i used an 18" -3 line off an adapter at the oil pressure sensor under the thermostat. then the best place for the return is drill a hol into the bung in the bottom of the block right above the oil pan. going into the pan is a little too low and seems to cause a small oil leak. you also need a restrictor for the oil feed because the 7A seems to have really high oil pressure

[celica74]

smaay, haha, again, the oil pressure sending unit is between the alternator and oil filter buddy! ha. but thank you for the information

[Smaay]

yeah yeah, you are right, i was close though

[SupraKid]

Jeff...ill be honest with you.IN my opinion No one is going to be a Guinea pig and buy this kit at that price..I mean Full 3sgte swaps can be had for that cost if you know the right people!!And for 7afe guys the 4ag(z)e is much more reliable and around the same power for under that cost!

[celica74]

yeah yeah, you are right, i was close though

No you werent haha, thats on the other side of the motor haha.

No one's being a guinea pig, Erynn already covered that & the results are tested & true. I'll kick in my 2¢ on it, for that matter, especially being an ST owner - I drove her car over Labor Day weekend when I went down for a visit, and it's freakin' AWESOME. The work Jeff did on it is top notch; he's an engineer by profession, and knows what he's doing. He's got the awards on his wall to prove it, too. Erynn's car looks like hell on the outside ( sorry, Erynn but you know I'm not saying anything you don't already know! LOL) but it pulls GREAT and is a really fun ride. It's EXACTLY what I would expect out of a turbo 7A - you're not going to pull HUGE numbers on a stock block, and as a daily driver, it's a HIGHLY feasible modification to make your every day drive that much more enjoyable.

A full 3S-GTE can NOT be had for that cost, unless you score big on the engine. Once you account for incidentals, harness, etc, you're looking at a minimum of 3k. And for us ST owners, it's way more than that, because then you're talking about axles, tranny, etc. So that's a poor analogy.

4a-gze isn't "much more reliable" either, sorry, and nor can it be had for under that cost with the same power. Superchargers are NOTORIOUS for going out, I'd hazard to say much more so than turbines. You're looking at about 160-180 HP depending on which generation you get, and even with that, good luck finding one domestically. I've researched the HELL out of this, and I'd say that a 4a-gze swap into an ST is going to run *about* the same amount. So really, it comes down to a matter of personal preference. Do you want to drop in a 4a-gze for about 180 HP w/out modifications, or do you want to turbo the 7A and get about 200-215 HP off the bat? Then you start getting into HP potential (and more money) for either route when you start looking at mods and upgrades.

[Smaay]

No you werent haha, thats on the other side of the motor haha.

no its not. its on the front exactly where i got the oil feed from

[celica74]

the thermostat is right below the distributor

[95celicastLSR]

quick question about the car you put this kit on... ur running the t3 super 60 trim right?? and also how much wheel spin are you getting ?? i guess im just trying to figure out just how fast/ quick the car is with around 200hp..

[SupraKid]

No offense to Erynn..but shes running one of the worst suspension setups possible for the 6gc (i would know i have it!) so im sure when she pops the clutch it spins a lot...a 200whp celica is veryyy quick as it weighs nothing compared to cars that come with 200whp stock (mustang GT,NA supras,ect)

yeah i figured that... just was very curious as i am still planning on doing a full build and boost with the 7a... i figured 1st and 2nd gear would spin around 200hp but just wondering what right around 300hp will do ??? ......lol just thinking about boost gets me excited!! but i have to wait for income tax time to finish my build:(....... great work though smaay
