How much work on top of buying that blitz kit from import monster would need to go into the sportivo?

We talking about 7-10k all up for s/c, ECU, new brakes, LSD, exhaust piping and labour?

Lets do some rough math ...

2000 for the S/C including shipping .... only issue here is u dunno if its all in good working condition .... lets assume it is and u dont need to do much.

2000 for Apexi PFC + wiring (unless ur putting it in a celica in which case this isnt needed) + tune

new brakes .... u looking at BBK or just better rotors n pads? a BBK will set u back atleast 1500-2000

1000 for LSD

1000 for exhaust

an extra K or 2 for labour .... yeah u might be able to get away with spending 10K ..... only issue is the 2nd hand s/c kits and what condition it might be in.

Also from memory the corolla blitz kit had a different part number from the celica blitz kit so if ur profile is correct and u own a celica then this might mean more mods or even potentially the kit not fitting properly .... not too sure what the differences are but obviously there are differences given the different part numbers.

Hmmm sounds like a waste of money to me. For under 10k I was able to rebuild my 4AGE (given it's an older motor) with new parts for a turbo conversion, buy a new turbo, intercooler, Microtech ecu, stainless steel piping, exhaust, custom manifold, etc. etc. + labor + tune. And the result is way more power and fun than you would have in a supercharged Sportivo (my opinion).

4AGEs have always had an extremely strong and active aftermarket community.

Pity you can't put that 4A in a Sportivo though :P

True, but I didn't buy any parts specifically made for a 4AGE. Most of it was custom work.

Want to buy my engine? :P

Never thought of that but I wouldn't think there would be any fitment issues as the engine is orientated the exact same way, maybe the steering column might be an issue but I cant say for sure. Depends on which way the plumbing from the turbo goes to the intercooler, cant see too well in the photos.

In this forum if you scroll down there are some photos of underneath the car.

If all else fails you could probably send them an email.

Steering column, steering rack, brake booster, brake master cylinder, clutch master cylinder, brake lines, heater tap, heater lines etc etc is all swapped over to the other side...

Looking at the photos it looks like most of the plumbing is routed under the engine so I don't see any real fitment issues but as I said send them an email.

But remember that ZR-series engines have exhaust etc on the firewall-side, which is where all the stuff I mentioned exists, which is why it can be a problem when you go to fit a turbo kit designed for one "hand" on the other - back in the A-series days when the exhaust was on the radiator side it didn't matter anywhere near as much

The exhaust is on the firewall side in these photos and that's where they hung the turbo.

I know that, but since there is a lot of stuff on or near the firewall (as I said above, just about anything steering/brake/clutch/heater related), a turbo designed to fit in a particular spot on a LHD car may suddenly find all that stuff has been moved on the RHD versions and there is no room there any more.

Here are multiple threads showing that LHD turbo kits almost always don't fit RHD cars.....

Thankyou for you input, I was really hoping that it might fit seeing as it has only recently been developed by them. Oh well.

Might have to look into a rear mount system like this. What do you think?

Ok, so I realise this is an old thread but..

Let's say I only wanted around the 30-50kW mark more than stock. What would be the most cost-effective way to achieve this? (let's define this as $/kW). Can this be done without a turbo?

used supercharger kit TRD / GReddy / Blitz

$34 - $66 / kW

30% gain and up

The $ range is to account for whether you use the kit entirely or go for another ECU and subsequent tune which could quite lift $66 up to $100 also whether any missing parts from the kit or because it is used you wish to refresh some parts such as spark plugs than be using the used ones you got.

      2007 - floor mats

      Hi Ed, Hmm that's a tough one mate ..short of going to Toyota to get genuine and no I doubt they would laugh at you as it's a sale and money is tight right now. I am not sure if you are on Facebook or not but I have seen an advert on there for what looks like superb floor mat sets that do seem excellent quality and a wide range but like most things now they are not cheapish. My best advice is source some good quality ones and search online for someone who offers embroidery as some do tradie shirts and logos on clothing it may be worth a phone call to those sort of places as I know a local one to me does all sorts of work on many things related to embroidery or an alternative choice is the online sites like Temu... EBay etc Let us know how you get on mate good luck. KAA

      2001 Toyota Camry wagon passenger side locks not working

      Gday, I've got a 2001 Camry wagon which has been having locking issues for a while now, just started occurring out of the blue. There is no fob so we manually unlock and lock from the driver side door, however the rear and front passenger doors consistently have issues. Either when we unlock one or both doors don't unlock and must be unlocked from inside the car, or when we lock it one or both don't lock and the car beeps. To fix that, we open the door, lock it from the inside, the lift up the handle and close the door before releasing the handle. That fixes the locking issue. When testing the locks from inside the car, I can see that they partially lock and unlock, so I'm wondering if they need to be replaced entirely or if there's some other way to fix it. Cheers

      2002 Hilux Engine Replacement

      I have a 2002 Hilux that is meant to have a 5le engine but i think it was replaced with a new engine with a turbo before i bought it. Its a different engine compared to what is in the manual - eg the alternator is at the bottom not the top as per the manual. The engine is seized - tried roll starting downhill and wheels just locked up. I cant find what the engine is. Any ideas on where I would find it? Also 5LE engines are hard to find - any ideas on what else i could put in? Does a 1KZ fit?

      Boot Dimensions?

      Hi All, Greetings from the UK. I wondered if any kind folk could help me out. I am trying to get hold of some measurements for the boot/trunk of later model Fortuners. Does any know the height, min width (between the stowed 3rd seats) and the min depth from the 2nd row seat backs to the tailgate? Trying to work out if I can get all my luggage on board before I travel. Hope someone can help. Cheers KP

      2007 - Floor mat

      2007 - floor mats

      Hi. I am just reposting this here from the Camry section just in case the broader community might be able to help. I have a 2007 Grande which is still in good nick, except for the drivers floor mat. Normally it wouldn't be a problem to replace the floor mat but because it has the word CAMRY embroidered into the floor mat, I would like to replace it with the same again. I'm feeling reasonably confident that a Toyota dealership would just laugh at a request for another factory one so my question is, is it even still possible to locate an embroidered floor mat for my 17 year old car? If so, where? Or is there a business that will replicate the original?
