New Setup:
I'm still a poor college student, but a blown 4a-fe headgasket changed my mind on fixing it.
See the bottom of page 9 for More pictures. See page 9 for detail on the swap.

4A-GE Smallport running off the 4a-fe ecu (tuned).
Ignition: MSD 6AL, Blaster 2 Coil, 8910 eis tach adapter, bluetop 4age cap & rotor, v8 custom length 8mm wires
Airflow: 4a-fe intake (remember, it's off the map based 4a-fe ecu), KBD header, 2.5" high flow cat, 2.25" catback piping, 2.25" inlet/outlet Turbo muffler
Old setup:
Performance.... meaning enginewise.... well... currently I am attending a University... funds are low. So I have decided to hold off on any performance work until I get a new (more powerful and potential) engine.
Engine: 4a-fe (1.6L DOHC EFI motor... roughly 100hp at the flywheel).
Tranny: Toyota C50
Work done: replaced the transmission about a year ago after the syncro's for 1st and 2nd gave out... causing 1st and 2nd to fully shatter. Had to replace the coil, plugs, and wires because of slight problems a few months ago. This is the last money I will put into this motor. If the next thing to go bad costs $20 and I can fix it... it will not be fixed and will give me reason to replace the motor.
Performance: Focuz intake with K&N replica filter.... breather filter, heat shield for intake, red top optima battery.
