ok so got a junk yard here ANY MOTOR 150$

here is wat i have planned once the front is done
buy a used motor completely strip it
contact arais and such
for

83mm forged pistons for 9:1 ish compression
forged rods as well
port and polish
2.5" full exhaust
T3 turbo
30" x 5" x 2" intercooler
BOV -not sure yet
megasquirt ems
225lph walbro fuel pump
custom fuel rail
regrind camshaft
lightened flywheel

and a few other things i can't think of right now
put in your input

83mm is kinda large for a boosted 7a. the walls of the compression chamber are going to be kinda thin...

there is a guy on club4ag, or mr2oc that will build the megasquirt for you... i think either 250 or 350 ... and it will be plug and play with your stock harness. >>

camshaft regrind is kinda much for a 7a... just do everything else and crank the boost up 1psi and you will get more gains. >>

and you have like... 4k in mods listed there. >>

83mm forged pistons for 9:1 ish compression $300 labor $500-700
forged rods as well $700
port and polish $800
2.5" full exhaust $250 crush
T3 turbo $300
30" x 5" x 2" intercooler $250
BOV -not sure yet $50-200
megasquirt ems $???? depends on what ya get
225lph walbro fuel pump $100
custom fuel rail $300+
regrind camshaft $200 (guess)
lightened flywheel $50-100


hidden cost $1000+

TOTAL COST $ 5200

If were to do this project which i am just 7agte you need to figure out if your willing enough to go all the way. Or just buy a 3sgte and swap that in because cost is going to close >> but good luck

I think it would be a very nice build up. but very expensive. As a bunch of wise men told me Stick to one thing at a time. Finish your body work.

Also Id say go for the gze pistons and a 20v head swap, if not 20 atleast 16.

I think that lil extra cash would make a BIG dif.

oh yea body first
slow and sexy is better then fast and ugly

but no swapping 3s over rate IMO

original motor at over 250% hp gain just dead sexy

'Sexy' is in the eye of the beholder. >>

Honest truth, i would rather be running 10's with a rust bucket than 15's with a absolutly gorgeous car. my .02 cents

>> 10's 1/4 mile times and rust dont really go together but i get what you mean

i like both fast a good looking

but i would settle for stock look and 10's fast >>
