crappiest day of my life

[TheOtherCarolla]

I broke a valve spring today, wiped the lobe on my custom cams and now i have 3 or 4 bent valves and 2 scarred up pistons

So I guess I have a catback exhaust and cold air intake for sale..

That sucks dude tell me what year is your car and which brand is your intake and I might buy it.

[falnfenix]

the year is listed in his sig.

[xrsbou]

on is sig he's got a 93 prizm but he's on a corolla forum and his title is theothercorolla
So if you do have a corolla 2005 I might buy your intake if it's an INJEN or AEM

[PhatRoyale]

what kind of numbers were you putting down with that setup in your sig?

a prizm IS a Corolla...and technically, it's considered the "other" corolla since it doesn't carry the Toyota badge. that, plus the motor listed under his name (which is no longer used), would lead one to believe the vehicle in his sig is the only vehicle in question here.

I never got to dyno it before the carnage. It was a little bit to much for the 1.6, but it's all good, i drove the piss out of the car putting almost 30k on it, and it was my first rebuild.

The intake is for 93-97 made by me, tuned to my motor. I tried several intake designs and this one had the best seat of the pants feel. It also has an AEM dryflow filter.

If I had to guess hp/tq for the motor, I would say 120hp/110lb ft tq at the wheels. Certainly alot faster than before.

If I'm not mistaken.. I believe TheOtherCarolla is a "she" not a he.

[falnfenix]

if that's true, then more power to her for doing more to the vehicle than what most of the kiddies around here would even consider doing.

Ouch, sorry to hear about your loss after all the work you put into that poor little F-head motor.

Unfortunately, my CAI should arrive tomorrow, and I'm done messing about with the exhaust until I get turbocharged, which is probably a winter/next spring project.

Best of luck shifting the parts...you might want to try Ebay for the CAI at least.

That really sucks about your engine, it was qutie a feat for a 4A-FE.

This sounds like an excellent excuse for a 4A-G(Z)E

[fistofmeat]

sorry for your loss man, ur and Flashmn's cars are what i think of when i want to do something to my rolla. is the header/downpipe still good? what about the head? if so how much would you want for them? anyone know if the exhaust will fit on a '90 rolla?

[TheOtherCarolla]

well i sold the car w/out a motor for 500 bucks to a friend. He has a 4age motor out of his 86 he's going to put in there and see whats up.

I thought about a motor swap, but I really don't have the time. I have my friends camaro to work on, My Torino, My own Camaro and my fathers truck. But I still like to tune on these little 4 bangers and milk them for power.

I'm going to go help with my friends 240sx sometime this week. Were gonna lay down some rubber on 28 and get it sideways.
