- In this video for my birthday i built the 7AGE for the MR2. Sorry it took a while to upload but i still hope you all enjoy the build of the engine!
If you guys liked the content stay tuned and subscribe as I get the MR2 back on the road. Thank you to everyone who watches this video. I know it is lengthy but I tried to condense it as much as I could while retaining information.
Be sure to give me a follow on Instagram @engineeredtodrive
Rock on its great seeing some good 4/7AGE content. I am probably going to build some 7AGEs for next year's race season in my FX32
Sounds like that would be a blast!
Thanks for the comment and watching the video! Cheers
you obviously know what you're doing, I threw a like on this after 30 seconds. I put a 7AFE in my '98 G6 Corolla you can see in the profile pic and always wished I had the skills to make it a 7AGE. I gained like 20 kW, though, so in my mind it was still worth it. I have the C161 6-speed transaxle, and it's barely hanging on, but the close ratios make the 1.8 feel very spiffy in this 3-dr hatch
sorry about this but ARP bolts need to be torqued down to there max spec 3 times, so e.g.. 45ft/lb then loosen off, re-torque to 45 ft/lb then loosen off etc, the reason for this is the ARP bolts are usually measured by a stretch gauge to reach max clamping force, not many people have this gauge so ARP recommends this method.
The head stud (that hits the distributor) was redesigned because it was known (on some, not all 4age) to block the oil gallery that feeds the camshafts, that gallery is 1/2 way down the bolt hole, you should check you have clearance around that stud for the oil to flow.
hope this is help
That's awesome thanks for spreading the knowledge! I appreciate it and I'll check it for sure.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Happy birthday✌
2 years ago i bought a corolla, one year ago i started fixing it up and built it as my daily. now... I'mma build a motor for it
A good build up there Bro
Thanks for sharing!! Very clean build! I noticed that you used regular 7a piston instead of 4ag piston, I had read that when building a 7age you have to use 4a pistons. I suppose you have proved them wrong. But I wonder since the 4a is a non-interference motor because of its pistons, is using 7a pistons with a 4a head now make it an inference engine hmm.
This was a really informative video - I'm about to embark on a 7age budget build as well, so all this information was gold. Things like torque specs and clearances are especially handy. Did you get the block honed or decked when you put the pistons and rings back in? Or are you just keeping it low comp for now until you go forced induction?
Yeah the block got decked and I honed the cylinders myself with a flex hone!
I appreciate the comment a lot and thanks for watching! If you have any other questions just DM me on IG. @engineeredtodrive
Great job! Keep it up, you're real knowledgeable on this build! Great content and don't mind the longer vids.
Thank you so much for watching it! I appreciate the support 👍🤙
Any spec sheet for the clearances on the 7A
can you build a 7age with a 20v black/silver top head? thinking of doing a budget build but not sure if that would work.
Been debating on doing a 7ag build on my ae86, I feel like I'm about to get bitten by the building bug. May have some questions if I do lol
Nicely put together, What timing belt did you use, haven’t seen that brand before, is it also 116 teeth?
Question did you use 7a piston? Did you have to recut for 4age16v valves or it clear the piston no need to recut?
Yes i used 7A piston. Not sure what you mean by recut. I did have the engine blocked decked to make sure It was flat.
@@engineeredtodrive8589 i see thank you i though that 7a piston have to cut it for the 16v valves, this mean i can just slap 16v top on with no problem of valves hitting it. Correct?
That's exactly what this engine is. Yes.
Did u have to remove any material from the block to fit the 4age oil pump?
Nice video, which crankshaft gear did you use? and what oil pump? the 7a or 4a?
4A oil pump. MRP crank sprocket.
Did you made the math?? With the 7afe pistons what head gasket you installed it?? What compression ratio did you get on the engine? Just to know... On mine i use 4age piston with 9,4:1 version piston and 7afe 0,4mm head gasket and a lightly shaved head bluetop head and the math give me 10,8 static compression....
Interested to know why you chose to use the 7A pistons. Generally you use the pistons to match the head your using. Majority of the 7A builds I’m watching all use 4age 16V pistons. I thought using the 7A pistons with a 4A head made compression over 12:1?
Reason I went with stock internals is simply for cost. This was a super budget build to get the car back on the road.
What rwd gearbox do u use on a 7age
Can go with t50 if going into say an ae86. Just depends on your power level. If its not much more power than stock like my build, t50. If its way more like turbo 7age look into other options. W58 out of an mk3 supra holds up good power.
тоже хочу такой мотор собрать, на русскоязычном Ютубе мало информации по сборке, настройке
What ECU did you end up going with?
Stock ecu
What head gasket did you use for this build ? Thanks
Thinking about doing this swap for my te72 corolla. Any tips would be appreciated
What head gasket did you use?
Did you use a stock 7afe Block?
Yes i did
@@engineeredtodrive8589 alot of ppl all over keep telling me i cantuse a stock 7afe block with a 4age head and that i would need to get uograded kit that comes with crank, pistons, rods etc made for the 7afe block in order to use the 4age head.
@S2XCREW before I started this build I also believed the same thing. I spoke with a friend of mine who has built 2 of these engines. One for his mr2 and one for his ae86. In his mr2 he did this same build. Stock bottom end with 4age head.
If you want to speak more about it hit me up on instagram @engineeredtodrive
Hey hey. So most if not all 4age heads will fit 7afe. In fact many people use the small port head but from the research i have conducted the bigport head is the head you want for a 7age. Check out matrix for some info or the mr2oc forums. There is so much info on 7age, hope this helps
which gasket n belt
Support all the way from south africa , would really like to know the torque settings and what headbolts did you use

hey do you want to sell those spare cam/valve covers sitting on the ground.
Sure! Hit me up on Instagram
Good sh*t!
Thanks man I appreciate your comment and support!
Can someone help me understand the big idea behind using the 7A block and crank, does the 4A block and bottom end have any weaknesses, or is mostly for the increased displacement. 7A Curious of South Calgary.
The reason I went with this 7a build is because my 4age that came out of the car needed a bore. Which meant buying pistons. Since I was trying to do it on a budget, I went with a 7a build.
4a block depends if you have the 3 or 7 rib block and the 40 or 42mm crank journals. Smaller journals and 3 rib blocks are weaker.
But yes the increase in displacement is a contributing factor as to why people go with the 7age.
Thanks for reaching out!
greetings champ i am new to your channel. I am an 4age 7age all the series but what whoul it cost me for you to build me a 7age fully redline with a 6 forward transmission to put into my Ae 100 corolla 1993 modle
Would this be a good engine for someone who has never assembled one before?
I'd recommend disassembling and reassembling normal engines unless you can get the timing and have done the research for a 7age. It's a 4age head and 7fe block so it can be a pain if you don't know what you're doing
@@hashiriyasama Hi
Thank you for all the knowledge. Just one issue, the tray before the oil pan , it needs to be bolted on.
I got a question, can I use these same arp studs for a big port 4age off an Mr2 , ? If so is the torque the same you used ? , last question, I dropped all the shims and buckets on MORING , and now there all mixed up , how do I find out which one belonged to witch …? We’re can I get a hold of shims to
The head studs were for a 4age yes so same torque spec.
Unfortunately, there isn't a way to tell. Each shim and bucket has it's own corrsponding wear pattern to the head. You may have to end up getting another head or attempt to take measurements of buckets to hole in the head. I don't think that would work though because the buckets would each wear such a small amount off the total measurement.
Sorry about this bad news.
Shims, I just happen to have a lot of them that I have collected over the years. I think some motorcycle shims work but I'm not for sure.
Thanks for watching!
@@engineeredtodrive8589 thank you ! Another question, did u use a comet head gasket, and another thing about the shims and buckets at this point does it really matter we’re they go since there wouldn’t be much of a wear difference.? My plan was to use a metric ruler to check the wear and go off the book and see what gap differences were between intake and exhaust, .
@@majorpain7248 trd head gasket. The buckets, that's up to your discretion but I'd definitely get a micrometer and caliper to get the dimensions of the head. You aren't getting anywhere close to an accurate measurement with a ruler. It is worth a shot!
@@engineeredtodrive8589 Wdum dimensions of the head ? Are u talking about the height of the shim touchin the louve on the cam ?
@@majorpain7248 no I mean the diameter of the bucket and the hole where it sits in the head.
What type of timing belt should use on the 20v head n 7a bottom half?
That I don't know. That would be a good question for battlegaragers!
