some one make a highbred - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #12031 18 posts Started by Uppitycracker
Ive been thinking about it, I see guys on the mr2 boards with spear 3sgte heads for sale once in a while and Im wondering why theres no one here with a high bred engine? Is it harder to do then it seems? I mean for like 500 bucks wouldn't it make a big difference? Or atleast be a good base for a n/a setup which seems to be what alot of you guys are going for.
neverstop is doing it, i dont see any benefits to it though

so is it possible to hybrid a 7afe block with a 3sgte head, and go turbo that way?

those with ST's... watch over club4ag... you'll see a lot of stuff you can do with A series motors..... i don't know why everyone says "3s-gte" right off the bat..... there's a guy building a 7a-gte over there.... and built right, the 7a-gte can be a very fair competitor to the 3s-gte (that is, if you're all about those turbo motors)
I emailed that buy who is building the 7agte. He said that his motor should put out close to 450hp. He also said he spent alot of money building that engine. He spent somewhere near 10 grand for that engine.

but I would love to see some hybrids around here.

I will return one day.
and putting a 450hp lighter 1.8L in a smaller car is crazy..... the 3s already has gotta be so much heavier than that...

and on corolla-racing.com there's a guy (turbo7afe) who owns a shop and has built a few corollas.... the latest is a turbo 7a-fe running 365hp with the FE head... although he's put a lot of money into it.... at least to me, it just makes more sense

There are a couple guys on club4ag, that proclaim to have ran 20+psi on a stock bottom end 4agze, and producing over 350 hp. I remember a couple years ago people saying you couldn't make more than 220hp with a 4agze before stronger rods and pistons. If you have a Gt, then a 3sgte makes sense. But if you have a St the 4agze, is just as boost friendly, and cheaper as well.
