I thought you 6gens might like to see the 7A-FTE on a 97 Corolla.

All the work is custom and powder coated, let me know what you think of it.
Thanks, Steve

look really cool

but OUCH that wastegate positioning has to sux

toytech

#3

Nope, not really, I have a vis invador hood and it fit perfectly and the wastegate has a 2ft dump tube attached to it, so it works great!

I have had it running for about 3 months now, and I am still using my stock injectors, and as soon as my psiracing.com fuel rail comes in, i am going to be using some 318cc 7MGE injectors.

i wasn't refering to the placement in relation to the surroundings i'm talking about the placement on the log manifold...flow has to be horrible inside that manifold....i'm personally very against logs and external wastegates.....

but your setup looks rather well and wat PSI are you running?

well race and peak boost right now is 8psi, I dont want to go any higher on 168k motor. Once its finished being built, I will raise the boost up to 16-20psi.

get some bigger inejctors in there asap ... running 16-20 psi on a 7afte is a great way to blow the motor

He's got one that is being fully built with low compression pistons, high strength rods, all the goodies, and he's upgrading his fuel system along with a bunch of other stuff. Should be a very nice setup when he's done.

Hmm, nice As for the new motor - well you will be able to see one good strong 7AFTE in the spring, cuz i will be building my Ex celica motor to 300hp, lots of stuff will be made, so

on a 7afte setup, a log manifold will not be a flow restriction. no matter what, the head will always be the flow restriction

SRT4's have made way over 400whp on log style manifolds, and they have a much bigger engine(2.4l vs 1.8l)

toytech

nice little sleeper you got going there. i had a lot of fun turboing my celica back in the day.

i wasn't refering to the log style flow as a manifold...i was more refering to the log + external wastegate...because of the way the manifold reacts with the wastegate...

logs manifolds in general are a cost and performance effective piece thats for sure...i'm just refering to the wastegate portion of things

yep same here! I already have the larger throttle body and the p&p is in the process of being done, as well a 3 angle valve job as well as stiffer springs. then it's onto forged pistons and rods an a overbore of .020. When all is said and done, I should be sitting either right at 300 or a little bit above.

Is that to the ground or crank? what are you going to use for ems

good this allows even flow and will controll boost well

and also this is in regards to my comment about your manifold....
your only venting about 1 cylinder and as you can see in the is exerpt from corky bell....

if you really want a 300whp goal then i would HIGHLY suggest getting a HONDA B16 turbo manifold and swapping motor flanges with it in order to have a smoother better manifold

I hope it will be to the ground, and I am using the emanage to control the motor.

Yep, those are the rods I am looking to get.


as far as the position of the wastegate, it looks crappy in the in the pic, but it is actually in a great position if you saw if up close, you would see what I am talking about.

playr158

#29

all i can see is your DEFENITLY venting the two right cylinders much much more then the 2 left cylinders...
which is ok but still shows room for improvement to a superior setup...
i'd really suggest you look into the B16 manifold conversion which has the ideal setup for the external wastegate....esp if you looking to make 300 whp

seeing as the topic starter was sent here just to show the work he has done so far, and not be flamed... repeting your "expert advice" on wastegates to him, and posting diagrams from your ideal setups is not very helpful... and god damn, if he says its a fine wastegate setup and if you saw it up close it would be fine... then drop it, and dont get the last word of your expert advise in. Aside from this, great job on your car toytech, hopefully youll show us more as it progresses!
