Guys,

I need to buy a car soon and since selling my Skyline I am looking for an economical NA Toyota.

The car must drink a maximum of 9 litres per 100 KMs. Ideally around 8 litres.

I am 6'4 and want to also be comfortable driving.

So far i was looking at 07 Corolla Conquest and 01 Celica.

************

Corolla will be boring to drive but it seems more roomy and more economical.

Celica seems more sporty and will go a bit harder, but it looks very small for me.

I havent driven any of them yet, any help?

the celica would be hard to get those kinda km/s if you plan on being "sporty"

How much does the auto celica drink? 2001 model? I dont want manual.

May as well get the corolla if you want an automatic.

I can't stand seeing a 2zzge mated with an autobox.

Says 9 litres per 100. Thats around 1-2 litres more than Corolla.

What other magazines / brochures say doesn't necessarily equate to the actual thing. I'd say a lot more depending on the way one drives the car as well. I sure as hell don't get 7.8L/100k on my rolla, and I hardly go above 4krev. once every full tank maybe not even so you know...

Well i got over 450 Kms in my Skyline R33 GTST which was turbo. So thats around 12-13 litres per 100 KMs.

If Celica delivers around 9 or even 10 litres then thats cool, I think it also uses regular unleaded.

The 2zz-ge motor is far different to that of an RB25 / 20 (which has more low down torque).

It's a high revving motor. To get it to really move anywhere you must remain in the powerband (6,000rpm - 8200rpm). Toyota coupled a 6 speed close ratio manual box to this motor which worked wonders. An automatic box mated to a motor like this is utterly woeful apparently, and you'll never get the same driveability out of it as you would from a close ratio manual.

I hate it because it isn't functional, and a waste of a good motor. They should have put 1zz-fe's in the auto Celica's in my opinion (no offence Jimmy lul).

LOL @ Rob/Nelson, dude in the US the Celica GT (I think they called it) was fitted with the 1ZZ-FE first and the yanks were worried at its softness until the 2ZZ came out. As a result there were turbo kits made for 1ZZ Celicas over there believe it or not.

This gives me an idea... Modena why don't you buy a ZZE122 series Corolla with the 1ZZ-FE engine? Same power output as the new ZRE series, lighter (so better fuel economy and faster in my opinion), and you will save a heap on price... Just another option for you to mull around in the old noggin. The new Corolla is ugly and heavy :P

Yeah but they're 'all' 2zz's here in Aus aren't they?

Some of those turbo 1zz's over there put up impressive numbers.

For your height and fuel comsumption requirements look at an 03-06 Corolla Levin. 1.8 auto and the Levin has a sporty look with body kit, alloys etc. Still quite economical and should easily achieve your fuel economy requirements of around the 9l per 100km.

I used to be able to achieve high 7's into low 8's per 100km with ease in my Sportivo with the odd lift engagement.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
