not me either, waste of money.

ill got as far as the pistons but no further.

the engine wasnt made for the extra stress of a supercharger and i reocn it wont last long with one...(unless ur running like 4 psi then it might last like 30000 kms, so not really worth it)

it was made to b na and thats the way it should b done up.

i'm talking about 'locally'.

And the "Local" ones will get them the same way, Us or Japan, it's simply too much to develop parts for the local market unless youre designing them for Holden or Ford.

yeah, true dat dude...

I've seen(i think) on the US TRD sites, supercharger kits for the 2zz motors.

I wonder if that will go into the Sportivo? :unsure:

The TRDUSA kits are designed for the 1ZZ only... If the kit fitted the 2zz it would be on my car already... Heres hoping somebody will have a bright idea... I dont want any boost past lift.... I just want some extra grunt off the mark...

Turbocharging the tivo goes against what the engine was designed for. Our engines run high compression. Turbo set ups require low compresstion rates which would take away the 6-8k powerband in our cars. And thats what you buy the car for in the first place.

Id agree to a certain extent... But gutless is the only word to describe the off lift performance.. Im coming from driving a 380 hp v8 powered rear wheel drive dinosaur so I kinda miss that low down punch.. The Stivo really does require a great deal of effort somedays, just being able to extract that lil bit extra down low would be beaut....

Low boost of around 5-9 psi up to around 6k would be great with it kicking off at lift... European cars like SAAB run low boost setups on high comp engines... Mainly to get the ugly buggers going... I Might have to invest in a 50 shot of giggle gas to satisfy my offline needs.. :D

Using a NOS kit has been done a fair bit on celicas (2ZZ), some have had dramas but many have run totally ok with nothing. I can imagine the engine wear wouldnt be good and fcked if id ever buy a second hand car with a NOS running into it... :lol:

if u wanna FREE up some space then get a lightweight flywheel and a pulley kit.

that way ur not putting extra strain on the engine, in fact ur prob removing some strain. itll free up the power that the stock components lock in.

also nos would stread ur engine, i would never ever use it(unless i was a spoilt f*ck who could buy a new engine or 2). i would mayb giv avgas a go, but i dont kno much about that so id have to look into it b4 i say nething.

When Used and not abused NOS is probably the best value for money power up available.. I guess the down side is it is not legal for road use in any Australian State.. Suffice to say the 2ZZ could easily handle a 50 Wet Shot, Hit after Hit...

You guys worry to much.. If you break it Toyota will fix it... Warranty is a grand thing... As for whos gonna be buyin your car after you own it ?? Meh... :D

Like you would take it back with the kit connected come on mate :rolleyes: ... Have you never done a shonky before.. ??

When I had my last business we fitted a Vortech Blower setup to a VT 2 GTS Commodore.... The guy broke the engine twice (Let the Water Injection run dry).. Both times he came back to us and we removed the kit and he had his car fixed under warranty...

Its how you work the system.. Not abuse it... :lol: Mods need to be fully reversable when you do them if your worried about your warranty...

At he end of the day, if you mod it and it breaks then pay to get it fixed and dont whinge about it... Just Work the system.. :lol:

Neways you can get a complete low k 2zz from the importers for about 1800 bux.. Problem solved !! .. :)

      1zz-fe engine rebuild

      Hello all, Working on my 2002 corolla. It needs a engine rebuild due to burning oil out the back. It has over 400,000 km on it and I havent looked after it. Everything is still original on the motor. The only thing that I have replaced, was the brushes on the alternator. They were completely worn out. I am pulling the motor/gearbox out of the car. Wont know the condition of the block or head until I strip it down. I know the design of the piston where changed in the 2003+ models for more oil holes, which stopped the buring of oil. 1. Was there any other changes made ? 2. Does anyone know of where I can get a engine rebuild kit for 1zz-fe motor in australia ? 3. I have only found one place that I can get a new short motor built but that is in the USA and they do ship to australia but was hoping to find something in australia Thanks for help. Dragon

      2007 Corolla Sedan rear seatbelt question

      Hi everyone, new member here. I've got a small problem which I'm hoping you can help me sort out. I've read the "read me first" thread and done a forum search so apologies if this ends up being a repost. Ok, so I've just has a bloody mouse chew through the rear seat and half (but only half) of every rear seatbelt. Which is nice. So I need to replace them. The problem I appear to have is that none of the local breakers have any suitable vehicles that I can pull them from and the ones I ordered and was sent from the bay of fleas has the wrong brackets on, despite being allegedly for that vehicle. Further searches come up with every seller showing the wrong bracket, so either I've got a special car which is different just because, or (more likely) they don't know their ****s from their elbows what they're selling. I'm after some aftermarket ones as they never get used and just need to be there to get through rego so don't really want to spend a heap of cash I don't have on genuine parts if I can avoid it. I've replaced the centre one (a mate just randomly had it in a box in his shed, which was handy) but still need the left and right. I've attached the bracket type I pulled from the car and need. Is this a standard generic Toyota seatbelt or specific to the 2007 Corolla sedan? Does is need to be specifically for the rear left and right or do front ones fit? Does anyone know where I can source an aftermarket pair? I will really, really appreciate any help offered with this, I know my way around a box of tools but very little about mechanikicing (which is part of the reason why I bought this car - something simple to learn on as repairs/replacements become due) and this is a simple fix which is turning into a drawn out headache. Thanks - Matt

      Hi from Wagga

      Hi folks, I'm in Wagga, have what I thought was a nice, cheap and reliable 2007 Corolla, and am joining in the hope of picking the collective brain to troubleshoot and avoid tossing my computer and the relevant car parts out of the nearest window. I'll play nice and restrict the swearing to off line areas :D See you on the threads! Cheers Matt

      Amplifier 88650-60D60 no longer made

      Hi all, Wondering if anyone has had this issue. I recently purchased a 2007 200 series landcruiser, and the amplifier for the air con unit stopped working. Part number 88650-60D60. (Looks like a circuit board) All controls for the air con now do not work, very frustrating in winter when you dont have any way to unfog your windscreen. Toyota have informed me that they no longer produce this part, and there is nothing superseeded to fit in it's place. My question is has anyone had this problem? If so what did you do to fix it? I have got onto an auto sparky who has had a go at fixing the circuit board but its unserviceable. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

      Engine oil dipstick reading

      Hi guys, Probably a silly question... I'm having trouble reading my engine oil dipstick on my Toyota Hilux 2010 3.0 Turbo Diesel. I have warmed up the engine, turned off for ~10 minutes, parked on a level surface. Pulled out the dipstick, wipe it and insert it back to the bottom and carefully lift it up. I tried so many times and the two sides always look different. I couldn't read it. Maybe I just don't understand how to read it. Could someone help? Thanks a lot!!!
