sweet whats the work going on........bore? port and polish? new valve seals and stems......upgrade pistons(forged)? camshaft regrind? more details
7AFE internals:
-Polished and reprofiled intake & exhaust valves
-Int.manifold polished&Nichel treated
-New head with:3 angle valve job,complete P&P,Combustion chambers compared and polished,squish job,valve guides reprofiled
-Arias 4AGZE pistons bored to 82mm

yea my engine is headed down that dark path and i'll need to rebuild some time in the semi close future....i'm thinking...bore, p&p, valves...camshaft regrind....flywheel shaved...i never heard of lightening the crank but not a bad idea......what are you doing in terms of rods??
That's really cool man. It's nice to see someone building up a 7AFE. I'm hoping to do the same in a few months. Nice job!
what is your bore size??....piston size??? piston part number?
I bored to 82mm. those Arias pistons are for 4AG engine but they work perfectly with 7afe
82 mm. nice how much was it money wise? how far over is that??

Looks nice, but i dont know if its worth all the time and money.. to only be getting around 160hp .. but i guess your not going to be able to get to much more.... good luck
celicas have a 82mm bore anyway... So did you just have it honed?
if edo is speaking WHP 160, which i imagine he is considering "turbo and Emanage" then that is a big deal from a 7afe. and a realistic one at that. that car will rip, id expect it to be a little faster than a standard 20V swap. great job edo!
BTW, id suggest doing something to the rods b/c thats one of the bigger known weak spots on the 7A and with all that engine work + boost, id be willing to bet a rod or a bearing will be what breaks on ya (if infact something would). i only say this cuz you dont wanna rip that motor all back apart later on to replace em, might as well do it now while its all apart.
Believer, you'll leave her, in leaving them allNo but I don't buy itLike anything you do, as anyone you areCause I'm...Ten Speed, of God's Blood & Burial
they do make upgraded bearings I think, but the rod's would be one-off's. The only option I can think of is Cryo-treatment. That supposedly strengthens them...

<BUMP> So how is the engine work progressing? Got everything back together yet?
Yea, good question. Another question is, with all this engine work and having 150-160, is that including CIA (or intake period) and exhaust, or is that just pure engine power?? And then if you were to turbo it, about how much estimated HP Gain would it have?? I'm on the market for a GT, but if it's cheaper for me to rebuild the 7a then I might just go ahead and do that, seeing as how I think I might only be able to sell my ST for like 2800 and would have to save up 2-3k for a GT anyway.

yea your 3sgte is cool but ill stick to my 7agte
well as long as he aint updating, and we talk with him all the time i will update for him...
Everything is back together, but there was problems with the Clutch. So now engine is sitting quatly waiting for clutch to arive and Edo is out for vacations...
Im waiting too then he is going to start that beast, to hear from him about results >

awww
edo im going to pm you later about what all you had done, the cost, and how much power your putting out from it. >

>
hows it taste motha f*cka
bump for this thread, edo are you going to dyno it?
then later will you turbocharge it? if you did, that'll most likely if not already be the hottest 7AFE powered ST on this site.
hey I'm looking to do basically the same thing. Does anyone know were I can get custom connecting rods made or anything. I wanna make the engine bullet proof before I turbo, and the list is almost complete. Then I just need to the reasearch and wait for the big truck of cash to come in the spring.
