Rollamods must have beat me just as I was typing it :D

You could retro fit a 3sgte - that's what fensport did with their awd corolla.

the other engines in the toyota range aren't really worth it compared to the 1zzfe / 2zzge.

Well, I agree with the other guys on this but If you really want to get turbo or super charged why not buy the TRD kits for that? it'll cost you about 5-6k auzzie all up.

I mean, the 1zze and 2zze engines are great platforms!

THe problem with the idle is due to the thermostat according to Toyota. 3S-GTE is the one to get if conversion is to be done. Its a serious weapon once it is on board esp if its modded also.

Turbo or S/C is a better alternative to increase the power out of 1ZZ-FE. Turbo set up including matching exhaust system would probably cost $6000 inc tunings, and that's not included LSD because you will need one. Not to mention brake, tyres and clutch kit. Spare some $10k and u can do all that.

dont bother.. if ur sick of it sell it

engine conversion is too much..

3sgte is the way, but u need to fabricate and make ur rolla to a 4wd.. tats why i say is too much effort..

u want fast, get eg model then put jdm k20a on it.. then its fast.. but forget ps and ac lol

fensport corolla is 4wd stock thats why not alot of fabrication for it..

The coolant by-pass will not solves it. Recently I got that idle problems because I did not let it warm up as usual, it was a bloody cold morning it was. Warming up the car judging from the dissapearing of the intake hissing does the job for me.

Back to power up. TRD S/C comes with piggyback, not ecu replacement.

didn't Grimlock find the ECU mod that comes with the S/C was not compatible with the Aus ECU, hence had to buy an aftermarket ECU to solve the problem?

Dunno, well if it doesn't work, you can buy the S/C without the chip and buy e-manage instead or unichip.

Anyway, back to engine conversion. Either 3S-GTE or nothing, considering u may aswell buy sportivo if u wanted 2ZZ-GE.

super charger kit for stivos? I seem to remember an article on the forum talking about a conversion to turbo on a 2zze (the article mentioned the compression rtaio of 15 and vvtiL hence I'm assuming it was a 2zze)

but no the bolt on trd kit is for the 1zze

Why bother go thru all that crap, when u can sell your car and buy something that has more power.

Russ

Russ is right putting $15 000 + Into makng a Turbo Corolla is pretty much a waste of time, also depending on your age Insuring a turbo car if your under 25 is a bitch too do!

Just get a 20-valve 4A-GE, 170 HP "at the engine", 1/4 mile 15.1 seconds, Top Speed kph 229, with mods this engine can make 14.5 secs - 14 flat down 1/4 mile, you gotta admit pretty good for a N/A engine!

There under 2000K some places you can find them under 1000K nice and cheap installation might rise it above $5000 tho ;) , im soon getting one for my AE92 Corolla Cant wait :D

20V's are boring as hell, and would be a total pig in a heavyish car like a ZZE corolla. I've done a few 20V swaps into AE92's now and would never waste money on one again.

The 1ZZFE puts out more power at the wheels than both the AE101 and AE111 20V's.

A good swap would be a 1ZZ or 2ZZ if you can afford it into the AE92. From initial measurments it will fit, and only has 1 custom mount at the timing cover. Needs block-hugging extractors but that's easy to get.

      Transmission clunk

      Hi all, Recently completed a long drive. Check engine light came on, traction control off light came on, unable to use cruise control. Pulled immediately over all oil level were good and no leaks. then when accelerating through the gears ( automatic Prado ) hearing and feeling a clunk on each gear ( like it was hard to select). Prado is unable to go into 5th & 6th gear. Maxed out in 4th gear at 90km/h @ 2500rpm. Later in the drive DPF light came on though I have a July 2015 build. DPF introduced in October 2015 that I am aware off. Any ideas at all would be grateful!

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Yes, with 12v applied to the pump you can definitely hear it whirring if it is working. Kind regards Geoff

      Yaris Cross roof rack

      Hi all, I’m looking at purchasing a Yaris Cross GXL however I can’t seem to find any official roof rack for the car On the Toyota website it doesn’t show a roof rack protruding like the Corolla Cross GXL I know you can get roof racks that slide under the door however I don’t see any official listing Interestingly enough Toyota offer an official bike rack for the Yaris, Corolla hatch etc but not the Yaris Cross Rhino-Rack offer a third party roof rack for the “TOYOTA Yaris Cross Gen1 5dr SUV Bare Roof” but I’m a bit hesitant to use a 3rd party roof rack on a brand new car. Do you know if this would cause any warranty issues etc? Another option would be to get a Corolla Cross GXL. However the Yaris Cross would be perfect if it could have a roof rack as I don’t need the extra size, engine and price point of the Corolla Cross. Happy to hear your thoughts

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      I've just got a price from Toyota up here in QLD for the whole replacement unit... (OUCH!!!! 😭) I would share more information on my investigation so far, but apparently, I am a spam bot and can upload pictures, but not write the story to go with it.... without being pulled up for it...... I can tell you that I am getting no suction on what I believe is the fuel line from the sub to main tank. I am however getting 13v on the fuel pump connection. It comes on for a moment before going off. I'm guessing because of this error. Perhaps the rail stops delivering power..... My next step is to apply 12v to the pump and see if I can hear it in the tank making any noise. Surely, I'd be able to hear something with the car not running - if it is working?

      Hilux 2.7 1998 has knock in motor

      A recently purchased 2.7 hilux seemed okay, but when started up (warm) a clunk happened then a loud knock started. The coolant drained out, perhaps into the engine, but being unfamiliar with the vehicle I am unsure what has happened. Any suggestions and possible remedies would be appreciated. Higgyboys

      2017 Kluger AWD. Noise in Cabin - Bearing/Diff. Not Sure.

      Chiming in from the States here, I have a question. I am assuming your Kluger's have the same UA80 transmission as we do? When you say the transfer case was replaced, was it the physical "transfer case" or the transmission? We have similar issues here where the UA80 starts "whining" needing a complete transmission replacement.

      Rock sliders installation

      I've recently had a company install a set of Phat rocksliders and they've told me they hadn't fitted the centre bracket on the left side due to lack of clearance from the fuel tank and chassis rail. Is there a way to install this without dropping the fuel tank?
