Turbo 9th gen top-speed?

[forpinks]

Hey guys I will be slapping in a Turbo and strenghtening the internals for my 03 Corolla S auto and take out the speed limiter...

I was wondering on the 4th gear top speed??? because my friend at Toyota Philippines said the A/T has a better top speed than the M/T at 160MPH tops is this true?

My major objective is to make at least 260HP and just beat the SRT-4s at TOP Speed matches...

Any advice on what else I should install, besides changing the tires to Z-rated,changing to Hawk pads, installing a catback exhaust, syn-oil, coil overs or atleast something better, rigidity bars and maybe rear disc?

Thanks for some help on my sleeper project...

Good luck on that not many turbo a auto. Your better to try to supercharge it not sure about getting to 260 hp but wish you luck in that as well

i think your gonna be into alot of money i doubt the trans will hold up to 260, theres no way your gonna make 260 on stock internals your probably gonna be into forged crank, rods, low CR pistons, Which i think will all have to be custom, $$$$$$$

I think somewhere around 180-200 sounds more realistic based on what your talking about..

Do some reasearch about this project your gonna find theres alot of holes and issues with these plans, sorry to be a downer but....

Doubt it, as A/T has more drivetrain loss.

yeah I know... thats why I need more power to make it go faster...

BTW nice AE92, can it drift, is it a stickshift, any page or pics for your car, and whats the engine in it? I LIKE IT!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YO262JbTl_M found this vid... even a mexican can make it go 130MPH and it could go to 160 4th gear OD at 6800RPM and the limiter disabled...

I just have to change the torque converter...

Depends on the gearing.

[Flashmn]

Can it drift... umm... yeah with limitations...
Is it stickshift, abso-lutely.
Are there pictures, yes use the search

hey forpinks, any luck with your project? i have a 03 corolla that i am planning on doing some work on. the plan is to do turbo, exhaust, intake, and strut work on the car. anyone else in the same boat? pref with pictures of the car?

Doesn't seem like he is going the turbo route, his mind is constantly changing....

Most people say they would do so and so but usually doesn't follow up. Oh well.

Good luck chazbrazil on your project. Keep us posted.

What's the point, you're never gonna hit 160mph with it.

[Flashmn]

Maybe if he drove it off a cliff.

Maybe if you start out with a Corolla XRS. MAYBE.

But a regular S? The SRT-4 is still gonna rape your ass.

If you watch the video, the indicated speed is a little over 220 (km/h). 220km/h = 137mph = really stupid on public roads.
