Anyone have any recommendations for performance on a 1.8 7AFE. Basically i gotsa stock engine.
I havent done much in the field of modifications. I did a custom smooth tube intake setup with a K&N filter. Thats about it.
NO Nitrous, if you please!
Thats about it. I really want to get some power into the old 1.8, but im a little short on funds.

Welcome to the boards! The 1.8l 7afe isn't as powerful as the 5sfe but you can still do a lot of the same things to the 7a as the 5s. basically Intake and exhaust are the best things that you can do for our engines. And to protect you from flaming in the future, use the search function and the info database, they have a lot of information that you can use for this. Ignition upgrades as I have heard is something that you should stay away from in our cars. You could upgrade to a AFC (Air Fuel Controller) that would help a bit, and also the Turbo set up but that can be quite costly. Hope that at least helps a bit.
I gotta header for the 7AFE for sale! PM me if interested.
There's lots of stuff you can do to an engine... any engine... you just gotta know where to look and how to do it. The 7AFE has much much higher power potential in n/a form than the 5SFE... IMO. The only advantage the 5SFE has, is displacement...

well you can do something i'm going to do to my 5s.. take off the EGR and have some custom plates made to cover the holes.. and get a TB from one of the overseas 7a... play around with the timming.. new pulg wires and ground wires ... try getting high compression pistions (custom made) if your not going to trubo... you can also try a head swap.. putting the head from a 4a ge on there..
