Current/Past 7AFTE boosters - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #17084 19 posts Started by slipgun
Just taking a poll, I want to know how many have a 7afte, or had. How long did it last, and at what boost. Lets try to pool information and try to figure out chances of building a reliable 7afte. At current it sounds like 8psi will blow things, sooner or later *and by later I mean fairly soon*. Has anyone run 6psi ok?
You do a search and you'll find what you need to know. We've already tried this approach once and it doesn't work. So there you go...waste of a thread. 8 PSI doesn't blow nothing. Everybody that did it, made a stupid mistake...including myself. They don't last because of stupid little mistakes.

yea your 3sgte is cool but ill stick to my 7agte
How many miles are on your car or did you rebuild it? I have 65k so im hoping it will have enough oomf left since its fairly new... Your profile says 131 at 5.5 psi... is it satisfactory?

Bought my turbo from 97sccelica. Ran it for 6k at 7psi. New ssqv bov messed it up cuz it was closing too early and broke the shaft rod inside the turbo. Bought new turbo and running it at 5psi. Still need to fine tune it. Still smokes oil out the exhaust. No leaks.
this is alittle off topic but related i just ordered a new head gasket copper .062" i was just woundering if anyof you guys are running anything besides oem?

yea your 3sgte is cool but ill stick to my 7agte
were did you find the head gasket?
any of you guys dynoed your cars or have an idea of the power being put down?

slipgun, sorry, man. I don't know of any Corolla forums. But I made a thread about problems you'll encounter during installation and setup; others contributed also. You won't find info that useful elsewhere on the Internet. nik, that's a lot of torque...way more than an S2000. I love torque. >biggrin.gif>
