Yikes, maybe 7AGE conversion no good

Well i went over to the shop today where i have do my work. And they said the rebuild alone, and they would put on the parts of the 4AGE to make conversion, but rebuild, converting labor is 1600-1700. Then if there is any electrical work, for using the 4AGE ecu and such, they charge by the hour.

I dont know enough about cars to know about a conversion fully and shit, what all needs to be done wiring wise like. So im screwed.

I called toyota to ask how much a rebuild and new clutch with parts would cost, and im looking around 2000. Then i could use 1500 out of the 3500 i can barrow from parents, to have this guy i know do my body kit install, and a nice ass paintjob with some graphic effects and neons. Make car show, and do a 7psi turbo in a year prolly.

Price doesn't suprise me at all. I think if you did something like that its something you research a ton and do yourself. Outta the research I've done on the 7age you dont want to go with forced induction on that set up though.

so.. u didn't know that earlier huh?

uhh.. is that why there are 7a-gte setups on club4ag that are being built? and why another guy i personally know (helped me with my hybrid setup in my ae92 and sold me my mr2) is building a 7a-gze for an ae86....

the only problem about using a 7a block and boost is the fact that the crank isn't as strong as the ge or gze crank....

if you build a 7a-ge, then you could either run a modified 7afe or 4afe ecu... or use a standard 4age ecu....

just remember that you'll have to put the ammenities in the places of a 4a-ge for the most part... (starter can stay on intake side if you use the 4/7a-fe plate between tranny/motor... alt goes on intake side unlike the 4/7afe, PS has to go on the exhaust side.... etc)

Anyone actually have pictures of a 7age engine? In a car or out? I'd love to see it.

And about the forced induction thing, that is basically what I meant. Everyone I have talked to about using forced induction on a 7age has pretty much told me just swapping to a 4age would be a better choice. Someone do it though it'd be sweet.
