makes sense. guessing these changes were due to obd2 emissions requirements.

HP kit has been ordered. Gunna be 3 long grueling weeks till they arrive. Pistons have to be made. Also ordered some other goodies. Shall i spoil or keep the anticipation?
I could make you some pistons!!! They would be Cambells brand!
What compression ratio?
Ben. I dont think the tomato soup ones would hold up. Think id have to go with the chicken noodle
Aj. Whats the fun in saying? Surprise! Btw check your messages

Got the rods today. There Max Speeding rods. H beam forged steal with arp 2000 bolts.
more parts have came in. Rebuild kit came in from import performance, everything but the toga oil pump and pistons. Clutch came in, its a spec stage 2. Flywheel also came in from vivid racing. Its an asco 8lb for a 4afe. 93 i believe? and up 4afe's have the same 212mm clutch and 6 bolt crank as the 7afe.
Also the other day a box arrived for me. Sockie tech struts. I think thats what the brand is, can never remember. For $30 plus shipping you can have hood struts. They come with a mounting bracket that bolts right to the hood, and a bolt to replace one on the fender. Took 30 min to install and it looks and functions very well. Ill get some pictures up of everything either later today or tomorrow.

meh, only 380. only one that i could find that would fit. looking at other cars lightweight flywheel i think it turned out to be a good deal.
just dropped off everything at the machine shop. should have it ready sometime wensday. also talked to them about the head. if i wanna run 1zz valves, valve guides from a d16z6 will be cut shorter and then used. yes ill have honda valve guides. Also tomorrow im going to see our good friend aj down in Wilmington. this build is def. starting to go somewhere. im excited.

Megan coil overs came friday. Put them on saturday. Ill have pics later. Much better ride then what i had. Just finished dialing in the dampeners. Front is at 20 and rear at 25. Back is a little low and the exhaust scraps on rail roads and massive pot holes. Just waiting for them to break in and ill set them to just start tucking rubber. And a tip when installing... dont measure from the spring purch to the lower locking ring, measure fr
m The bottom of the lower mount to the bottom of the strut. Much more accurate. I could slame it, another 1/2 inch in the strut and then drop the spring for 3 1/2 in more drop. Might do it one day for some pictures.

sitting about half an inch lower then before.
Also i think its time to share my build. Went a little different route. Visited aj a couple weeks back and brought some stuff back with me.
Bottom end came back from the machine shop.
Build list is as follows:
7afe bored .040 over
Maxspeeding hbeam rods with arp2000 sptuds
Wisco .040 over pistons forged for 10:1 compression
Asaco 8lb flywheel
spec stage 2 clutch
Toga main and rod bearings
Toga high volume oil pump
Full port probably stage 5 when im done with it. Exhaust bore is 2.5mm bigger already. Still need to finish intake side
1zz oversized valves 1mm over on the intake and 2.5mm over on the exhaust
honda d16z6 valve guides cut shorter to fit
aj's vortech sc setup which right now is 9psi. will be getting a smaller pulley and hopefully run 14psi
I really hope this build works out (keep it to lower boost) and I see a lot of work is put into this car. I have to say two things. please buffer the tail lights a put in some compound to make them shine and please take those HID kits out unless you plan to go with projectors because its just not cool being that guy and blinding people.

Ill be happy to install some projectors, you buying? They are aimed a little down so they arent bad for oncoming traffic. I want 14 psi. Dont think 200hp will be reached without it. Once the car gets paint ill address the tails

built sc 7a with 10.1 compression on 14psi should be interesting.. i hope it holds my dude, shaping up to be a cool project

Thanks guys. Looks at others 7a builds i should be able to hold well over 200hp. Im curious to see how it turns out myself. Im not looks for monster power like a 3s. If i wanna drive a stupid fast celica i just have to call ben and soon bobby as well. Im looking for agility. Something i can throw into a corner and come out of it with more speed. I dont see highway pulls as much fun as something that barrels through and out of corners. Everything im doing is for useable power at any speed not just 3rd gear half the time.

THIS!
bro - keep it up.
maybe I missed it. What are you using for engine management....
*note here my interest in supercharging on upped compression lol*
