Someone please do it!!! Was contemplating doing this back in the days. But decided to spend abit more and have power to boot all the time instead of from a bottle. There's been a few 2zz celica that I know of that ran NO in Australia.. Up to 75hp spray.. Would be nice to see what I can run down the 1/4. Something to get some inspiration from...

Bump.. Throw me an offer. The car now has a deadline. And will be stripped for parts and sold individually June/July if turbo kit not sold as a whole. Will cost a lot more for those that want to replicate this setup.

Yeah the services were done on time up until it was traded (around october last year) I don't want to run thicker oil to mask it I would rather fix it for the piece of mind. Whatever you do, don't run engine cleaner. It will make it even worst.

Happens when you run low on oil or don't change oil regularly. Your valve clearance is off and may require adjustment. Also, you may need new tensioner pulley. Running thicker oil is quieten the noise down a bit.

Good job Bill... I'm going to refer all those that want to turbo their 2zz to this thread. I have a little bit info for those that want to turbo their 2zz corolla/celica without opening the engine/gearbox since I've been through that stage and pushing where most wouldn't. So this might be a good indication for those "extreme" cases. Cost-wise: Around the same as Bill has mentioned minus the engine internals parts (roughly 10-12k). Power-wise: Will be determine on how much you want to spend, and how much you can afford to spend when things go wrong. Anything from 140-200kw is possible (if your looking to make less than 140, think about s/c). I'm pushing the 2zz-ge to it's limits, and the majority of built 2zz boys (smaay, boosted etc.) say it's not safe. It isn't. Safe power-level are discussed in the link bill posted (keeping in mind USA dyno read higher than Aus dyno's). But I believe the 2zz-ge is a decent engine, it just depends on how well your setup is which will determine it's life, which means $$$. My setup is a little bit overkill, but it makes running this much power possible and "safe". Last dyno'd the celica was making 206kw atw - 12.8@114mph. Been running at this power level for about a year. Before that the celica was putting 180kw atw - 13.2 @ 106mph for nearly a year. So it's possible to have "power". Every bit adds up in the hunt for power... I wouldn't even think to push the engine if it didn't have a "good quality" setup. Be prepared to check/maintain the engine on a weekly basis, chuck it on dyno to check fuel/knock levels regularly etc. My opinion is to set a goal. And seek out a turbo that can do that comfortably at relatively low boost levels. And do that at lowest boost pressure possible. ie. Have all supporting mods that aid in making the power easily: free-flowing exhaust, standalone ecu, larger injectors.. If your just searching for 160kw then a GT2871r would be ideal. 200kw+ Gt3071r/GT30r... And then you'll have room to move when you build the engine, which will definately be required down the track. Last... Research. I asked Bill alot of questions before I started my build. Thanks Bill!!

The weather is cooling down.. Need to start preparing the car for drags Jason!! :P

Nothing 7k worth of MWR bolt on turbo can't fix Only downside is it will still have the auto clutch. Toyota really got the MR-S wrong :( No... Toyota AUSTRALIA really got the MR-S wrong..

It sure did. Sweet sound when it hit lift as well. But DAMN that MR-S was phat (literally). Lift? What lift? Cheers guys.. It's stock.. Honest. But... I haven't felt lift in about 2 yrs. Ray Rei.. Your invited to our Nebo runs from now on. Made me have to actually get up and go. Last person to suprise me that much was Peter.... damn fast bastards.. Jimmy you always chickened out on nebo runs when Sportivo's dominated the landscape back in the day. :P Always had "something else to do" lol Apart from North's commodore the quickest thing I have been in up Nebo was his sportivo closely followed by mine. I am a lil more sympathetic on the machinery than North LOL Next week we could do a cruise to a certain "new car wash" that has just opened and is all lit up at night. You can even use you own stuff if you want to. If there is enough interest I will even be there to give tips on cleaning a car properly Of course.. My car is too slow to go up with the stivo. I only go up with family cars like aurion, integra, lancers and silvias... My car is stock afterall... Where were you guys last night? Made me feel like such an oldie with the new group. Maybe we should do another run.. Enlighten me on how fast you guys are. As long as I get to stick out the back, don't want to hold you guys back. We should get Pippy, Wei wei and all the old boys to do old school run.. HAHAHAHAHAHA good to see your still alive Jimmy!! Old school meet would be a bit of a blast from the past that's for sure!! Would be a great mix of cars I tell you. I might get something organsied shortly stay tuned..... As for the car wash i used it last night and the lighting is really good!! My boss is more than happy for you guys to bring your own stuff to wash(car wash etc etc) the facilities are there to be utilised so we might make this a regular thing. Might even make a good back drop for the photo snappers..... Keep me updated.. You know I don't troll the forums much anymore..

Thanks Ray Rei for bringing out the cars on such short notice.. Hope you didn't drop too much of your dinner. :P It sure did. Sweet sound when it hit lift as well.

I may make and appearance.. So everyone MUST come!! :P

16x6.5 +38

Bump... New exhaust is 3" stainless steel mandrel bent, 3" magnaflow race cat, 3" magnaflow resonator, 3" vibrant muffler. New greddy type rs fitted.

Some pics my mate took at 3 in the morning.. It's stock.. Promise.. =P

It's already at 205kw... I'm still working on it until it sells. I just got new exhaust fitted today. Might chuck it on dyno again soon.
