If anyone is missing NASCAR and it's not on Speed Channel, take a fistful of Skittles, throw them in the toilet and hit the flush handle. Instant NASCAR!!!
Gonna hot-tank the block?

Hey what else can be done in the engine. Here is one question. One of the people earlier in the post said the rods would be a week spot. Were can I get custom rods made?

Also

Did he do most of the work or did he have a mechanic do it?(This may be an idiotic question since their are pics of the engine apart ,but what the hell I might as well ask.)

And What else can be done to the internals if anything? (

(Sorry for all the questions going to do similar setup and I am new and not to familiar with the internals.)

hi everyone! I just came back from holidays and tomorrow the air traffic is waiting for my radar skill >biggrin.gif>
Anyway...I won't be at home till friday so be patient.tomorrow the ACT clutch should arrive here. My mechanic will be back from holidays only the 30th august so I have to wait to complete the thing.... >frown.gif> >frown.gif> >frown.gif>
As I'll have again my engine in, I'll need immediatly a good ECU tuning cause os the major mods like head and pistons....
to everyone who's thinkin' to get 4ag pistons I just tell them that with those pistons (and 82mm bore) I have 11.06 CR.... >wink.gif>
I hope that everything will work!!! I'll keep you updated!!! >biggrin.gif>

so what are you doing? leaving in the high compression pistons or try a different set-up and going with the turbo?

11.06 compression??? wow, that's gonna make hella NA power, and 7a supermega torque.
I think I'm gonna keep it NA so maybe I have for sell a good turbo kit guys >wink.gif> >wink.gif>
Saturday my baby will crank and hope everything will run fine....I'll need also someone who can program my emanage to get the best result.
I think that for Christmas I'll have my cams reground and my cam gear modified to be adjustable....
To finish the engine as NA I would do something for intake like manifold and TB but dunno....
Or better...I'd do it but where can I look for a manifold for me??? any help???

Thanks
you could just port out your regular intake manifold a lot. or go custom itbs with a little manifold type thing on top of them so you dont lose all your bottom end.

Dont listen to him guys, he will do turbo I PROMISE >biggrin.gif>

And about TB, get 4A-GE IDV trottle bodies and customise them to fit 7A, it would be best solution..


But you dont need all this, i will get that deal on RODS and we both will fly >smile.gif>)

I hope that bro...I hope....anyway I've thought about ITBs and for sure it's the best solution BUT

1) I need custom flange (brooooooooooooooo >bowdown.gif> plzzzz >wink.gif> )
2)sensor rewire and check which is a pretty long work
3)someone (I don't call names... DOGGY >wink.gif> ) should do it with me to get a good result by comparing and share everything to get it done....

We'll see what ****in' crazy idea will get my mind!!!! >biggrin.gif>

Yea, granted the 7a isn't a track beast, but those do seem small. I'd have to see the 4age's tb's before I commited. (to compare size)
Anyway Edo, if i AINT sell my Celica, i will be boosting, i know for sure...


And the main problems that i left is Head gasket and the RODS. I will do my best to figure this out, and we will boost, im sick of N/A already, and i dont want my engine to eat HUGE amount of fuel and still dont have the power...

gotta figure this out...
