Nice man.

There's a guy here in Canberra who did a turbo job on his 1zz if you are thinking of pursuing that path as well as S/C. From memory he's making the same power as us 2zz boys now, I think...

Yeah just personally I'd go s/c over turbo for practicality reasons. The TRD s/c is a straight bolt on unit :) it just seems to be a lot less hassle than a custom turbo set up. I hear that DuGong is giving the sportivo boys a run for their money in an auto with no auqamist. I figure a manual with aquamist set up for the 5th injector should push 120kws??? or there abouts. I would be happy with that, plenty of low down torque to make daily driving an ease and abit of poke when its necessary. After all it is just a corolla and driveability is more important to me than outright speed :P

where have you mounted the coils seeing how you're using ignition leads?

Hey Rollamods,

Okay to calrify, I probably should not have used the term 'ignition leads' - obviouly the 1zz does not have coils or leads as such but rather a coil in lead set up. I replaced the standard (denso i think?) 'coil in lead' plugs with an aftermarket NGK variant (I'm sure the gains are minimal but I wanted to do it so I did). probably wasnt the best money I ever spent seeing as the auto electrician cost me $350 in labor costs :( But its done now so i tend to forget about it. I'll take some photos of them the next time the engine cover comes off for a clean.

Hope that clears everything up :)

Cheers

right. Fck that's a lot of labour to install a set of coils

Yeah it was...he did some fancy rewiring but I still think I got ripped. I do the majority of work on my car now to save on lobour cost. Good way to learn. :)
