Well it has finally started, or more to the point, i have talked my fiance into letting me do it: Project TZ-20a, where i take a 1995 Corolla hatch, twincharge (TZ) a 20v silvertop (20) and convert to AWD (a)
There are a few obsticles to be overcome i know, but i just thought i would let you all know what i am doing and how i plan to do it:
Aim (What i plan to do and why):
As I said at the top, i plan to take my rolla hatch and twincharge the 20v silvertop, then convert to AWD. This is mainly to show people that anything can be done and also for the individuality factor. The other thing is, when done, i plan to keep the car as stock looking as possible with the only body mod either a front mount air-air intercooler (possible front wing) or a top mount water-air intercooler (using a hood from the AE-101 Levin GT-Z, which has a hood scoop).
The Starting Points (what i've already got):
- 1995 AE-101 Hatch (duh)
- 20v 4A-GE Silvertop (better flowing than the 16v and stronger than the blacktop)
What i need:
- AWD gearbox and drivetrain (Possibly from AE-92 wagon, 3S-GTE with custom bell housing or from AE-101 AWD)
- GZE stock semi-forged pistons and rods (to lower compression)
- T3/T04 hybrid Turbo
- Supercharger with electronic clutch
- Fully programmable ECU
- Intercooler (type to be decided)
- Custom tubing with one-way valves for the flow-control of the boost
- boost controler
- 440cc injectors
- better fuel pump
- money, money and more money!
Any suggestions/ideas are welcome and i will keep you updated on the progress of the project.
