Ive been kicking around the idea of going after a 7agte build. Using compression ratio calculator i wanted to find and stay at a low compression hence going turbo. I found with the stock 7afe's -12cc dished pistons and a 4afe 1.4 mm compressed head gasket my cr would be at 8.55:1 I plan on using stock 7afe pistons with forged 7afe rods, big port head with custom grind cams. i have read that the 7as weak point is the rods but will the pistons stand the abuse of boost even with the low compression ratio? or do i need to try and find forged 4agze pistons? will there need to be mods to the 4agze pistons to fit on 7afe rods? i havent found many 4agze pistons online so im just getting a build thread going to finalize my plans on which piston combo i need to go with.

Have a read (Google he's not a member here) on MRP's AE92 7AGTE build. Or even a 9AGTE 1.9L

His name eludes me at the moment, but there's someone here in Europe that has done just about anything you'd ever want or could think of to a 7A. Name starts with an "O" I think. Has a project thread somewhere here.
