Is this the corolla that came factory turbocharged?

[xoom]

yeah it is.

But correct me if im wrong Mike.

[03MikeSportivo]

sure is..

1afe with turbocharger.

These are pretty rare, i heard that there werent very many sold in Australia, im not sure of the figure but i think is was a lot less sold than the not so current sportivo...

[xTiGeRx]

yeah. pretty rare.

from what i can remember it was either 100 or 200 sold.

each one is individually number as well!!!

i took one for a test drive, seemed pretty nice..but...lacked up top. so i bought the current sportivo instead. hehehe

[03MikeSportivo]

yep they made 110 of them, brians is 61 of 110 :)

has a sportivo badge on the centre console ,"rubbish" compartment that says 61/110

btw about my the pics... bloody digital cam is stuffing up! get some on here asap

Nice bar/plate intercooler. What boost is he running, stock turbo? With that cooler he can probably run good amounts of boost but the stock turbo might be too little. Have you got a pic of his engine bay?

[03MikeSportivo]

he runs 12 with that intercooler now but as you said the turbo is pissy. he got larger radius piping to stall up the spooling process to avoid the crazy ***** wheel spin the get with the stock setup. but the turbo spool to 12pound then drops.. once he upgrades the turbo it should go so much better with the mods...

no pics of the engine bay sorry.. ill get one but :)

OMG AE112 SPORTIVO

I WANT PICS OF THE ENGINE BAY

LOTS AND LOTS OF DETAILED PICS

[for the record: I own an AE112, with the full Jetspeed kit (the Sportivo's front bar, I have :D) and have plans on turbocharging the engine. I want to see the layout and manifold, so I can plan my engine bay.]

PS. It's a 7A-FE, not a 1A ;)

[03MikeSportivo]

for the record its a 2001 model too :P i suck.

and yeah it is the 7afe.

ok ill get some for u tang!

have u found it hard getting parts for ur car? espically off shelf mods!?? hes had to custom everything....... besides the kit! cost him a fortune moding it up

FARKKK YEAH!!! That's why I am leaving the turbo conversion to the end. Custom manifold + custom piping + custom cooler + custom oil lines = expensive (the custom sub box was expensive, but that was expected :D)

Best thing I got that wasn't custom was my HID headlights... available for every possible car out there

[tangcla]

PS. My advice for your friend, from a fellow AE112 owner: ditch the 'traditional' sized weathershields, and get the slimline ones, like me. Looks way better! :D

Yes, I know of one that was written off. The FMIC and turbo was stolen from it already though... :(

And I thought only 100 was made...?
