Hey i have a 2002 Corolla Conquest and i'm thinking of putting a TRD Supercharger to get more power. Im doing a little research just before i buy to make sure its really worth it (power, fuel consumption etc.). Does anyone know anything about it...if you do it'll be great if you could let me know. post-552-1107918558_thumb.jpg

P.S I've only seen one supercharged corolla thats in the states..Click here to view the web site of the corolla thats supercharged

depends if ya car is manual or automatic. its drops the car by 2sec in a manual.(0-100km time).

its gonna cost 6000 + fitting labour cost, soo if u have the money, go ahead. or u could always sell it, purchase a sportivo model and mod it slightly.

insurance will go up dramatically.

I'm contemplating doing this in a couple of years instead of trading up to something else - Depends how my car holds together - I dont have any squeeks or rattles yet.

The way I see it, Ascent/Conquest models are lighter than the Sportivo (Less accessories/standard equipment, no body kit etc), adding a Supercharger will match the power and have a sh!t load more low end torque in a lighter car ...

Do the math... The proof is Grimlock and Influx's ongoing challenges :lol:

Plus I just like the thought of having a Supercharged badge on my cars flanks :)

Have you though that maybe the charger adds a little extra weight making the weight differential negligable at the end of the day... but yeah the extra torque would be nice...

The S/C kit would probably add 20kg or less, however to my knowledge there's almost 100kg difference between a Conquest and a Sportivo.

When you have a small capacity engine, every kg counts, So yes Sport1vo I will go to the tiolet and lose 1/2kg before I get in the car :lol:

GO SC ROLLA

fastest car ever

Hey influx i want a rematch, heheheheheh

Grimlock,

Do you have any other mods to the engine, or just the supercharger?

Have you dyno'd it? If so, what was the outcome?

I'm considering giving the wagon a boost in the future and I'm wondering what's possible ...

I'm aiming to have a charger under my bonnet within a year hopefully, will have to see how things plan out.

Hopefully I can then match the stock time of an ascent :angry:

:lol: My cars too heavy to go anywhere... runs a 17.6 quater mile when a stock one will run 16.6 :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: Then again my car is automatic and the 16.6 stock is with a manual.

and make sure before you drive your rolla that you go to the loo, 1/2 kg less = better power to weight :D

Definitely,

but you'll need to get better stoppers to match the performance upgrade. A manual will help to reduce brake usage, i/e use of lower gears acts as engine brake. Also an air to water intercooler kit together with a unichip should 1.) optimise air fuel ratios & 2.) keep inlet temps down - engine heat kills performance. I own a Mazda Eunos 800M 2.3 V6 with the factory twin intercooled supercharger/compressor & after a long drive it's amazing how much heat builds up in that engine & takes a real long time to cool..so that's the trade off you might encounter should u go ahead with the TRD S/C without any intercooling. You'll find when the weather's cool or from cold start it'll run really well but the longer the trip the more the heat builds which eventually makes performance feel laggy & dull.

      05 hiace ecu

      Hi all, new member needing some help with an issue that has me stumped, replacing ignition and had a short somehow. Van would not crank or obviously start, found blown fuse and replaced, now car cranks but won’t start, no check engine light when ignition is first turned on and scan tool will not communicate with ecu. All fuses good except fuse 26 on instrument panel fuse box has no power. almost convinced my ecu is cooked but before outlaying for a new one thought someone may either advise another possible cause or confirm ecu likely the issue, appreciate any advise or experience similar.

      1989 Hilux Low Voltage

      Hey all, recently got a 1989 Hilux with the petrol 22r engine. I had plugged a voltage meter into the 12v socket because I suspected an electrical problem as the battery light had been on. It had read 11.9 volts initially but the more I drive the more it deteriorates, currently sitting at 10.9 (after several hours of driving) when the engine is running. This obviously doesn't charge the battery and it can't start by itself. I have since replaced the battery and yesterday I did the alternator with a brand new one. I've checked all the grounds that I can see but it's still sitting at 10.9 volts and deteriorates over time. I was thinking the voltage regulator is the next best bet? I looked at it visually and it seems fine. Anyone got any other ideas? Note: I had a very long drive the other week and on one occasion the voltage spiked back up to 15+ volts for a short while before going back down to about 11.4 And yeah I'm trying not to drive it too much because I know it's probably damaging the battery being on such low voltage. Any help would be awesome thanks!

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Photo below showing remotely mounted relay for sup pump and switch to connect relay coil to earth when required. The earth connection for the switch was found using a test light in an empty relay socket just near where the relay is now mounted. You can trace the solid black wire. Btw, I soldered all the crimp connectors. I don't have a lot of faith in crimp connectors. Geoff

      No, I didn't see a fuel filter, but the inside of the tank was spotless. The pump wasn't running - blocked filter or not. Geoff

      Geoff, did you check the fuel filter that protects the transfer pump from blockages? Tony

      Wanting to build my car.

      I’ve brought my first car a while ago it’s a 2008 Toyota Aurion sportivo zr6 it has 215xxx kms I’ve been wanting to modify it as it is tidy but I’m unsure if I should since the car is this old and I have had to replace the oil cooler lines a month ago (my car dumped its oil on me) just unsure if they go good after a certain age. what I do want to do to it is. wheels lowering springs or coil overs stiffer sway bar exhaust tint all round after market head lights and tail lights (if any of you know decent ones could you shear a link as I’ve only been able to find some on eBay) if there is anything else that would make it look good like body kits if there are any would be nice to know. Thanks in advance IMG_0918.cr2

      2004 hzj79 surging/jolting

      Gday Ive got a problem with my 2004 hzj79 with 235,000kms with no turbo, ive takin it to a few places all have different answers. At 1400rpm just on light throttle it seems to be surging/jolting as if your on and off the accelerator. Ive recently had the head gasket, head, injectors, fuel filters and timming belt all done and is still happening after the works been done. Has anyone else had the same problem before or be able to point me in right direction? Cheers.
