the 2001 sportivo that had the turbo and produced a 115kw. pretty low spec.

Has anyone owned or worked on one?

can you up the boost and still be reliable on the standard engine?

If so, by how much?

what sort of power do you think you could obtain?

thanks Kev

Kev they're pretty disappointing for a turbo car, they aren't exactly up there in terms of performance.

Personally I can't answer your question but a guy on here called Greddy_ES owned one. He now has an MR2. Look for him in members rides.

Kenneth you're probably thinking 0.4 BAR which is about 6psi

You could run more boost but you definately would need some new internals that can handle it.

If you want more boost, maybe a larger intercooler and run better fuel. IIRC they are quite prone to pinging, so maybe a re tune is in the order. Not exactly the tougest of engines, all they did was slap a turbo on....and on a 7AFE the conrods are so fragile its not funny.

hey guys

thanks for the feedback.

that is what i didnt want to hear (saw one for sale for $12000 and i thought i could have put her up to about 1 bar and flown, but alas it is not to be).

anyways better to find out the truth the easy way as opposed to waisted money and a busted engine.

Back to the drawing board. :whistling:

thanks again everyone

      1996 Trueno XZ - Is it worth modding?

      Depends on how common/rare they are in your part of the world. The XZ trim was the second-lowest so didn't come with most of the fun bits that the full-fruit BZG/V/R models did, so it's not anywhere near as desirable stock but sometimes you have to make do with what you can find, plus you shouldn't feel as guilty modding the heck out of it since most of it isn't special.

      VSC, Traction Control, Check Engine lights all on

      I attended Toyota Preston for Aurion ATX 2013 major service today. Cost $~$1300. On the way home I stopped to pick up dinner. Two fault lights: engine and VSC lights came on when I restarted the car. Car drove home just fine. I can only return the car tomorrow for them to sort out. Annoyed. Let’s see if they’re still on in the morning.

      Hi everyone, new member to the group and owner driver of a nifty little Toyota Sprinter Trueno XZ, now this was my cousins car, I bought it off him and after various drives, I have come to the decision that this needs alot of love. Now I am wondering if its worth putting my time and money into doing this certain make n model up or should I just buy a different car to do up? I am not very car-inclined so I really don't know a lot. Any opinions would be very helpful Thankful!

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.
