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:

i hear too much "im guna superchage/turbo my car"

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

      DIY Update GPS Maps on Toyota Corolla Ascent Sport 2017

      Hi everyone, I own a 2017 Toyota Corolla Ascent Sport based in Perth, Western Australia. My car's navigation system currently runs on iGO Primo software (version 9.12.14.545514). I'm looking to update the maps and keep the entire system updated. I understand that the recommended method is to visit a Toyota dealer, but I'm interested in exploring if there's a DIY way to do this. Could anyone guide me through the process or provide any reliable resources or links? Here are the details of my current setup: Car Model: Toyota Corolla Ascent Sport 2017 Location: Perth, Western Australia Navigation Software: iGO Primo 9.12.14.545514 Specifically, I'd like to know: Where can I find the map update files that are compatible with my navigation system? What are the steps involved in transferring the map updates to an SD card and updating the system myself? Are there any risks or considerations I should be aware of before attempting a DIY update? I’ve looked through the user manual and some online resources but couldn’t find a comprehensive guide. Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! Best regards,

      Upgrade from 2012 to 2023

      I have recently bought a 2012 Prado and was wondering if i could buy a 2023 strat write off prado and upgrade both interior and exterior so all the functions from the 2023 works regardless of the newer features and buttons. I'm planning to upgrade not just the exterior, I'm also planning to upgrade the interior dash and stuff as well.

      Towbars

      I went to my local Toyota Dealer for a nudge bar and tow bar for my 2017 AWD RAV4 and was told by their part's department was told "parts no longer made." Looking at aftermarket (ECB, Haymen Reese and ARB) but hesitant because sellers can't give 100% guarantee that parts will fit GLX facelift model.

      Concerns about Fuel Consumption in Kluger Hybrid

      I have the same issue with my 22 new Hybird Kluger. I also found my (grande) new Kluger has missed 220V power point and camera view on central mirror comparing with same car in US. This clearly are the short cuts to Australia Toyota customers which is unacceptable.

      ASV50 Camry Head Unit Options

      I have a 2014 Atara SL with the JBL Navigation head unit, it's getting a bit long in the tooth and I'd like to add Android Auto so I'm curious about what other owners have done. I don't want to lose the reverse camera and the dynamic guidelines, there are also some other car functions as part of it that would be good to keep. I have seen plug in modules that wire in that add the functionality to the existing unit so it's possible to keep it and switch between stock and android but I haven't seen a specific one for this model JBL unit. Has anyone had success with a later model Toyota unit bolting in?

      2007 Corolla Sedan rear seatbelt question

      there are online catalogues available that you can type your vin number in and it will show your car, then you can find the correct part number. it is the only way to go when looking for uniquie or uncommon parts. https://partsouq.com/en/catalog/genuine/vehicle?c=Toyota&ssd=%24*KwEWIjMeQU9MbFFuQ2JFQ05aen1jEh0QEQMFBkBlWQFNUQAaXyUmagcOAU1WABpfMidwEBZ5YWYREEpDXxQTEhYGCQBDHlFVBhQXGxcREgJRUQJHBxgBfn9nEU9APQliamV1Y2wCUVEJTUEAGRxYAAAAAL-x3O4%24&vid=0&q=AHT54ZEC307000605 https://www.amayama.com/en/catalogs/toyota/corolla-runx/1-hatchback-right-e120-2001-3066/body-and-interior-3/mudguard-spoiler-298
