how many people turbo charged their corollas?

[rolla_chink_94]

i was just wandering how many peeps had their cars turbo charged

[ericlee303]

Not many...my friend had a 97 auto which he turbocharged...it was only a 1.6 but ran a low 14s. Beat mine by a bit too!

There was another dude, Roy or something, who was one of the first. He was selling his kit not long ago.

I quadra-ultra-battery-rocketfuel-charged mine... I get 5s in the qt.. beat that i'll give ya a dolla!

[Rolla97]

there are several guys over on vvti.net/forums who have turboed their 98-02 rollas via a turbo kit offered by strafford fabrications based in Lancaster, California

i put alot of work into my ae86....cams/exhaust/motor work/header (everything short of carbing the car).....all i could muster was a disappointing 16 sec 1/4 mile.....i bought the mr2 and right away i was in the 14s and now i'm closing in on 12s....my corolla was fun to drive....just really lack the power that i was craving for.....

yeah problem is thats mad expensive and only fits the 03+

Ahh my next car will prob be a Cressida with the 1JZ-GTE (JDM) engine.. TT with 280hp stock.. looks like your typical 4 banger sedan.. and it's an I6 RWD..

[Chris Corolla S]

^^^ Since the Cres. comes stock with a 7M-GE, wouldn't it make a lot more sense to swap a 7M-GTE from a local Supra?! Plenty of power potential and easy/cheap to get compared to a friggin JDM 1JZ...

[|PuNiSh3R|]

I've been told the 7M-GTE is a bitch with problems.. is it just the headgasket on them that is cheap?

[Tofuball]

Whoo, headgasket problems galore. I went out and bought some ARP headbolts and a better headgasket that required being torqued down a lot harder

normal driving....with some boosting...i'll avg 400-440km per tank....driving the car hard....will get around 350km (or less) per tank....if the car is tuned properly....my gas mileage not so bad for a sports car....
