Leme preface this with i know this was discussed again less then a week ago but ive been looking for a half hour with search and all and still cant find what I wanted. Someone mentioned an actualy 6 speed trany that reduced 1/4 mile times 1 second. What was that? Im just looking into this for potential/curiousitys sake. To truly utilize the potential of 6 speed tranny wouldnt one need a new ecu as well? I was thinking for all thoes getting turbos for their 7AFE it would really be a nice feature! *trying to weight potential of swap vs turbo still >>* Thanks guys

I'm not sure that you'd need a new ECU, but you'd need the six speed tranny from a AE111 Sprinter Trueno, and the shifter lever assembly from it, and you'd probably need some other stuff.

I really doubt that you'd be one second faster in the quarter mile with this tranny. >>

I agree with Coomer


I highly doubt an additional gear will take it down 1 second.

yea its faster acceleration but who knows


also if you get the AE111 clip then you can use the engine from that

that'll put ya at about 170hp which is what you'll get from a turbo 7a-fe

Actually.... you could use the 7a bottom end and the 4a head with the 4a ECU and get a nice engine. (only if the 20v head will bolt onto the 7a.) I know this works with old school 4age heads, but the 20v.... hey coomer, when you get your 7a back, try to bolt the other 20v head onto it!:)

yea, I wonder if the 20V bolts right up to the 7a LIKE the 16v does.

I dono, but after reading that article it does make you wonder what kinda power you could push outa it... that and why would you do that when you could just drop in the 4age

no you wont... the point here is to get the 7a's 1.8l displacement, and the 4a's performance head. Why would you change out bottom end parts? The only reason I would change the pistons is if I wanted big boost, then I would go for some forged ones, other than that, leave well enough alone. If the 20v head does bolt up, the trouble would be the wiring. you would not be able to use the 7a's ECU, so the 20v unit would have to be used.


Also, in charlies words, there is no need to fool with this. I think it's interesting, but not easily done.

Why will they need to be changed? I don't see why the valves would hit the pistons, but I will go look.

"Conversion to the 7A-GE hybrid need not be as complicated as the 5A-GE. This is because the block internals need not be torn apart and modified."

You may be right, but they didn't mention anything about custom rods and such.

>> don't put a 6spd on a 7afe, or if you do, give one of us the left over engine.
