7Afe Turbo

[Dazzla]

For anyone who is interested, I have just completed swapping out a NA 7afe for a turbo 7afe on my AE112 corolla. I understand this topic has been discussed before, however my car is an auto not a manual. A while ago I asked on these forums about the autos for AE112's and if they would be up to the job. Well, it is brilliant. Absolutely fantastic. At the moment I am taking it easy using the standard 6-7 psi boost. The donor turbo engine was slightly modified. It runs a Garrett turbo instead of the standard IHI, the exhaust manifold has been custom made and uses a 2.5" mandrel bent stainless exhaust. The induction pipework has also been re-routed to minimise lag. Well I can assure anyone out there that the auto shifts smoothly and keeps the engine in boost all the way through the rev range with no lag. It sounds like a jet engine under the bonnet. I've kept the exterior of the car standard, so it is great as a sleeper. If anyone has any questions, I will do my best to answer them. This is how the Corolla's should have been made by Toyota. Have fun, Dazz

are the internals on this turbo 7AFE the same as the other standard NA 7AFE?

 

in other words, is the engine block and internals ont his 7afe the same as any other 7AFE or does this one have forged internals?

Do I have to do any tune to it?

He came here in 2012 and made that one post, so I don't think he'll see your question.
