If you have seen the custom made manifold on my car you may change your mind. I'll take a pic of it soon.

Please do, email me them as I'm upgrading the websitejohnek@ozemail.com.au

Are you able to hone out where the gudgeon goes through on the rod to make it the floating type?

That what we did, but after a few bangs, we went for some A/M Items (eagle), and never had a prob since, we had to match the sizes the best we could, and I don't recall any machining... This last one was built by someone else as I didn't have time to do it myself... Look sure the 7AFE are fine shot peened, etc, but just go revving them beyond 7,500rpm and really there wouldn't be a need to if using standard or slightly larger cams.

Whats the go with the oil return from the head? I haven't read anything on that yet.

On the back of the GE heads there's a oil return for oil to drain back to the block, Most people block it off and wonder why oil starts coming out of the rocker and engine then starves of oil and the end result, dead engine. Three ways, Run no oil cooler and use the return (in the sump) for this as the oil return from the head, Buy a sandwich cooler adapter and still use this return, or drill a hole into the block and tap a fitting into this as the same as the 4AGE block. We did number three.
[QUOTEI meant it should be phenominal for what it is (hybrid 1.8lt turbo).][/QUOTE]
I'll be honest, I haven't been in a 7AGTE as no has built one and it has been bugging me... One plan was to use the rally engine (needs a rebuild). pop out the pistons, machine a nice turbo friendly comp in them. these were blank 4AGE items machine to suit the FE, slap one of the GE heads on, design and build a manifold, already got a Rebuilt EVOIII turbo from friends at Ralliart+ all the other stuff needed to do it, GZE injectors get a cheap ECU (Mircotech, EMS, What even comes up) and then decide what I should put it in? The current rally car or an AE82 of which I have one sitting around with one of my group N engines in and is used for recce... option two looks best. But on paper a standard type would be hard pressed to be comparable to my Audi S3 and APR tuned ECU, remembering also 1.8l, 20v, 14lb boost and makes 195kw@flywheel or some of the honda series 1 Type-R's we've played with... the honda's blitz my audi! and are only cams, header + exhaust and an ECU upgrade... again only a 1.8l, and with the 7A stuff, still I'm talking paper, what actually comes out of it, the 7AGTE could be a weapon.

How about with some arp rod bolts? Should do the job shouldn't they?

It's not the bolts themselves it's the design. 4AGE have the bolts run through both the conrod and the caps, 7A run through the caps into a threaded hole on the rod's, which rip out of the thread. I've looked at them and there is the possiblit of machining and drilling them out to produce something similar to the GE setup, and again, I really haven't had time and now with no competitors in F2 rallying, development on the 7AFE/GE has come to a crunch and we're moving towards F16, which means 4AGE setups
