My 7afe is burning oil pretty bad so I was thinking about rebuilding it or just buying a new one and putting a turbo on it. with limited know how, what do you guys think would be my best option? I just found out that the 4age will bolt right in so I thought if I could get the 4age why not go with the 4agze.
my guess is that it's would be easire to turbo the 7A. Mine has 175k on it so if I think it would be too much work to make that one hold up under the boost of a turbo but what do I know....
what do YOU think?......
Depends... do you just want a little more around town power... or do you want some bigger, high speed passing power...
A supercharger is going to shine in the torque it gives you for stop and go traffic... a turbo is going to shine in the top end that it gives you in the higher gears...
which one matches you ?

A 4agze will not bolt right up and it will be more expensive than turboing it.

theres a 7A-FE engine in the buy/sell forum if u want to just turbo a fe
BANNED. for life, you moron.
be original...
4AGZE all the way.
edit: yes its more work, yes its more expensive, yes ull hate doing it, but in the end you can say, "hey i have a supercharged 4a in my car. Its one of a hand full that have been put into a 6gc."

with limited know how...i'd go new 7afe + turbo
4agze involves lots of wiring and more dedicated knowledge
Yea and a 7A-FTE isnt that slow it should be plenty of power and its all brand new so theres no worries.

Whats the first thing to break on stock 7afe internals with a turbo? Im debating if I should buy a new 7afe than turbo or rebuild my current 7a with 219k miles on it and than turbo. I want to do what ever cheapest and or realible.
I had that same idea of buying a new 7afe engine and turboing it but ran in to many problems along the way. I went with the 4agze and with a header and a NST 14PSI pulley the car is very fun. My buddy has a SRT-4 with intake and exaust and from a 60 punch they are even to give u an idea of how fast it will be. he has since put the stage 3 on and no hope for me lol. I have cams that need to go in so maybe it wont be to bad
