I just got my car back from the shop. I swapped the 7AFE for a ......... nother
7AFe!!! (couldnt afford a 3sgte) the engine i had was shot nad needed to be replaced. I got a 7afe from a 97 corolla with 30K and had my mechanic install it. The whole thing cost $900 total.
good deal! You should turbo it when that "how-to" is up!
Heh, I had to have my 7afe replaced, just got it back about 2 weeks ago... I dont know if many remember but sometime last march when i bought the car the engine blew while driving it home... =(

Anyways... its back.. but now I noticed a damn leak... Im going today to have it checked out, hopefully its nothing major.
LOL i thought i was the only guy who had to do the 7a for a 7a swap... but i really got screwed and i knew it(my dad was taking care of everything so he didnt want my input). The mechanic raped me(technically my dad and mom) for 3000$, 950 for motor, 1k for install and new axles and other random stuff that werent really broken needed to be replaced >mad.gif> any way dont get me started....
Hey, one of you guys needs to sell me an intake manifold hella cheap.
