This is a very interesting read to anyone who is thinking about supercharging their car.

You must register to read the thread. Take u 2 mins tops.

As a side note u can get the smaller rotrex and bolt it onto a 1zz so this isnt a 2zz specific setup

http://www.ozcelica.com/deltaforum/index.php?showtopic=6165

finally, lols!

Don't back out like those rolla's

alot of them got the parts and find out how hard the project is going to be and then they sell it lol

go all the way man!

hmmmmmm i wonder who you're refering to vyets :ph34r::ph34r::ph34r::ph34r::ph34r: and by a lot how many do u mean ? :P :P :P :P bcuz i can count the f/i attempts on 1 hand :lol::lol::lol:

well the thing is that its not so much that people back out of this but we dont have the support for it in aus.

The key reason from what i can see is the simplicity of the kits in the US vs the complexity of getting this running in Aus .... Why ? its simple RHD vs LHD .... Not a single kit made in the US will work on our cars so this means custom = $$$$ = The semi enthusiast + beginner will not even attempt it.

bwhaha vyet got owned u rat man turn on us rollas :P

:lol: :lol: .... yeah i couldnt help myself but to quote him

That's funny Bill, cos I can count them on 1 finger...

1ZZ-FTE attempts however I now know of 4 and only 1 did not go to completion

as far as S/C attempts go, there is Grimlocks one that ran nicely, but he wanted to sell the car so got rid of it. I don't know of anyone actually seriously looking at buying a Blitz or GReddy kits for the 2ZZ-GE to fit into the corolla.

Hey man, I know its complecated, and when people back out it sucks, because its complicated obviously. But hopefully this one goes through, at least you guys have attempted it you lived upto your word.

I must say at least 100% of the people who I personaly know with corolla's or celica's their first word when purchasing the car is "supercharger" and "i've already looked into it".

Nice to accually see someone dive into it and do it.

And yes most shops will probally just look at it and say no, it isnt a easy project :P

im guessing vyets that you havent seen where i am at with my project ;) ;) ;)

and from the looks of things i think i might be further along than the celica project doing the rotrex but only time will tell as i am a fair bit further on than just "attempting" mine is actually coming to a close in the next few weeks ;) ;) ;) hopefully

whats been done and has been running for a while now

That's funny Bill, cos I can count them on 1 finger...

by f/i attempts i mean both turbo and s/c :P :P as we have had more than 1 person attempt this and there have been a few successes .....

Now that i did a re-count however i lied i need both hands :ph34r::ph34r::ph34r::ph34r:

on spyderchat,they a couple of spyders running the rotex, 1zz made 270 whp at 15psi and the 2zz made 330whp, he's the link http://www.spyderchat.com/phpBB2/viewtopic...&highlight=

has anyone in aus tried it in their spyder ? .... from what i can read its still more action in the US .....

I'm all outta cash, otherwise I would Rotrex my 2zz. Oh well, the year is still young.

It's a good engine, and the rotrex SC seems to be a straightforward set up, whether RHD or LHD. I'm probably wrong, but I thought that because SC sits on the intake side, the fittings for the kit should be suitable for both RHD/LHD.

bill, just in case u were wondering, i'm looking into both supercharging and turbocharging my car, i've done some research and have concluded that i will be looking at over 300kw at the wheels which should just be enough power without having to replace any stock internals at all or replace the stock clutch.

can i be added to your list now? Pretty please?

there is a Sportivo owner in Brissy who is seriously looking at doing a Turbo set up like Xoom's. Have spoken with the company who is going to carry out all the necessary work. :D

Only need a few more and then we can have the F/I qtr mile record column :toast:

Im am seriously sorting out the Blitz supercharger kit. You can source one through Autobarn in Australia designed for the ZZE123 and at around $10,000 landed here it aint cheap.

I have a friend in Japan atm and I have been able to source a kit for 525,000 yen which is $5526.00 Aussie so as soon as I have saved it that kit is on the way.

The Blitz Kit in Japan comes with a Blitz reprogrammed ECU so that will be a bonus I think :)

Aiming to save for the kit by September this year

      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.

      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.
