QUOTE (SwissFerdi @ Sep 11, 2011 - 10:15 PM)  Any plans of throwing an intercooler on soon? I love this project...it's silver, an ST, and it's supercharged. Nice. The Intercooler is intalled. Its right in front of the half Rad. Offset to drivers side.(not trying to be mean sorry) --------------------  |

Well ran my first auto-x today. It was fun, but I tried to go too fast. It would've been better to try it out before I added the supercharger. It was still a ton of fun though and I can't wait to do it again. Here's a few pics, but the wife didn't get any action shots.

Well, I doubt I'm going to be selling this baby and since I can't leave well enough alone, there's probably a supercharged or twin charged 3s coming eventually. Need mo power.

Why not try to twin-charge the 7A?
Glad to see you're not selling, I never understood why people invest into a project like this and then sell it shortly after completion. -------------------- '97 ST \ Eibach \ KYB \ Kenwood \ Alpine \ Cusco \ OEM+ [sold 10/18]

You would have to fully build the 7afe and get a better head to be able to spool two chargers. Displacement is too small but it might work if you have a smaller charger spool a mid sized charger. Would be an interesting build. Good job Al! post results of the Autox event? 3sgze? Sounds fun haha!

Glad to see you're not selling, I never understood why people invest into a project like this and then sell it shortly after completion. B/C it wouldn't be worth it. Id have to buy the turbo and manifold, up the injectors, get some type of engine management, and tear the engine apart to put in stronger internals. If I get a 3s I can build it and still drive the car. Plus I just think the 7a is too smal...I want a lot more power.

Well it don't matter what you placed as long as you had fun! I wish I could AutoX my Car but it's down due to oil pump leading to bad cams..
 . Any definite plans on engine? As to twin charged, ect?
