thanks every one. The new garrent BALL bearing turbo, is going to be quick as compared to old Turbos. I have spoken to Rigolli....I am sure you know who I am talking about, he is only 5 minutes from my work. For my corrolla, no mod internal required for 160Kw....he wants 8000$. I have told him I want reliability. And this is what he said.

[ 2007 Corolla 1 3.116:1 2 1.904:1 3 1.310:1 4 0.969:1 5 0.815:1 6 0.725:1 Final 4.529:1 2003 Corolla 1 3.166:1 2 1.904:1 3 1.310:1 4 0.969:1 5 0.815:1 6 - Final 4:312:1 Excellent, thanks for your research. Nownexthing you do is take the first gear ratio X final diff = 14.11 vs 13.65(2003) 2nd gear 8.62 Vs 8.21 5th =4.388 vs 4.178 6th 3.301 vs 3.501(5th) as yiou can see, the 2007 has a lower ratio already-the higher the number the more revs you do per one turn of wheel. So beleive me now? So in 5th gear the 2007 would have more top speed when shifted to 6th. By the way on the weekend I did more shadow practice to third. and did 4 runs o-100 shifting at 6100 rpm with FULL TANK OF VPOWER(98 octane as always used). First to secod, I chriped the wheels but not third. I did, 8.65; 8.61.8,54, 8,71 respectively. And I AM HAPPY now. because this is done on full tank. I think the third gear and extra shift to 100 is really hampered the 0-100 time, the other option is to get theunichip or after market computer to lift the rpm to 7000rpm. But really I am saving up for T25 turbo...... Time for saving up......cheers.

Is there a spreadsheet/list of gear ratios so I can confirm this??? Reason: the 1ZZ 5-speed ratios are much closer than the Sportivo 6-speed... dubious about the new 6-speed having closer ratios yes, I have done all researchs. Check, the internet toyoya on 2007 model....

thank mate. No . Changing at red line is not good and its friction slower and not worth it. When turbo up this car, I will have plenty of power and no quick shift is required.....

on paper yes, but in real life and depends on o-100 or in gear accleration. for the 6 spped, the gear ratio is closer and its dural vvti at all engine speed., it should be faster in gear accleration. for 0-100 all depnds on the driver I suppose?

just behind the motor is the 1.2 liter coke bottle then followed by a big v2 rockey(cat /muffler) right.. I am not removing them....too much headache. But so far I have saved 300$ towards my turbo/supercharger,,,,see which is the most reliable one when time comes closer...

7.25... would equal to a low 15 flat 15 1/4 mile pass..... something was wrong with your B18c(ITR) I have a B18c in EG and that does low 6s....(stock internals) ok, I had the sedan car which weights more than your HATCH??? my weights 1240 kg with b18c at RTA. You must consider, the gear ratio is slight different..you would be much lower. My mate nevr did under 6 sec . The best he did with my stop watch...6.5-6.7 mark on road.Also thanks for evry one for replying this "hot" topic. Yesterday, after 1 hour of city driving and went to my restricted area, and did 4 runs. first two was "trying" to hit third till 100km/h mark. But bear in mind I only done 0-100 on this car for 5 times up to date, I still need more practice. Anyway, I did 8.83 and 8.76 respectively. Next two runs with just up to 6700rpm cut off.-95km/h and I did 7.22 and 7.18. Now, I was very dissapointed with the shift on the third, due to lack of practice and smooth action, and some delay in clutch engagement...and this is not what I intended. But now, I relealise, the toyota has geared this car for up to 95km/h not 100. No matter what, The extra shift to third does a big damnage to 0-100 time. So I just have to live with the FACT as it is. 0-90 is my bench mark now. There are few otherthings I would like to do is to replace the clutch (when stock wears out)with brass bottom clutch and lower the diff by lowering the tyre to semi slick 205/50/15(TOYO) and I still need to invertigate the new toyota muffler system.... Can someone tell me, where is cat on this model, I noticed there is a small tube(size of 1.2 liter coke bottle just after the exhaust manifold then followed by a big V2 rocket muffler?cat? then rear cannon muffler. Thanks

thanks for your advice. I aimed and deliberate to buy a car that looked like a family car, but it is going to be a sleeper later on. To trick people on road. just as I did with my previous civic sedan(with b18c). Some v8 and wrx stopped at lights and asked me--is that turbo charged......thats the whole game I am playing....stay in tune.

Hi guys, check this out....the person reviewed this car is totally up the hill, he can not drive..and I am not sure how much he get paid for saying "how slow" the new 6 speed is....I am not imprerssed and shocked....... http://www.caradvice.com.au/2776/2007-toyo.../#comment-32744

They dont have more power than the previous model. Only the late 05 onwards models have 93kw, all other years (01-05) have 100kw What??? I thought they are all 100kw....I own a 06 model, does that mean I only have 93kw??? yes ..its gona be 93kw My dad has 2003 model its 100kw. For some how after that 2004/5/6 its 93 kw an dnlw backed to DURAL VVTI 100kw. And thanks for everyones feed back, from my experience, a passager(60-80kg) would easy add another 0.3 sec. so every 20kg is 0.1-2 sec slower. Also with stock air intake-inside the engine hood, it VERY easy to add another 0.3 sec just because of hot/warm air entered in the intake. My immediately power gain notice and smootheness at high rpm after I replaced the stock tube(30cm) with an after market tube and also further extend the intake tube for better buffer effects at higher rpm. the aim is to over fill the cylinder as quicker as possible. and IT ALWAYS worked. proved by my stop watch. I have done say in 7 years----200 runs 0-100 on civic(with itr engine 92-95 model sedan). Late I changed oil to 5/35w..and even better in power delivery. Today its wet, and I am looking for V8,v6. or any modern cars for a quick 0-100 as I did in the past to do a quick race but as a golden rule. Dnt do it when its wet or on the hill or bend. So Quicksilver where are you in sydney, I am quite happy to meet you and share some infrom with your car too to prove my point....email me in pm. By the way my friends got an old corola 1989, tubo charged-127kw at the wheel(160kw at the engine?0; he told me he joined the evo club, and beat all evos by 2 car up to 120 and ONLY one evo he can beat and that car was 1.5 car ahead of him all the way. I think, this defyes the physcis of 0-100 time, its to do with the drivers superiority... Ok, my estimate 7.5 is too good...how about 8 sec...that still quick..i will test third gear when the road is dry 5am in the morning. as I always said. The new corolla is very good...after a slight mod. I am impressed. I meant to buy mazda 2 liter or vw polo gti, but I did not. Last thing to add. I think yopu want to know how I meaure the time. I start the stop watch at the same time I started to move(lift) my left foot(clutch). and stop the stop watch when hits 95 on speedo....so To avoid any speedo error, this weekend I do o-110 run as if its 0-100 to see what time it takes. but this will put OFF my normal "standard" of meaurement, But I do it anyway. I dnt want appereared to be biased or anything, if I had started the stop watch after I released the clutch,,,thats cheating and the time would be even quicker......

Hi guys, Its a long story, but I cut it short for you. 8 years ago, I was playing cars with iTR engine in a 1992 civic sedan. It was the 125kw engine. I do lots 0-100 run, before and after the air intake, ignition timming advance before and after (1 -5 degree ajustment and also on the in gear accleration using both stop watch and g tec. Later, I use stop watch, this is much more reliable as compared to my other measures. I can change the gear as quick as my eye blinks. (not to show off, but being honest). I even tested on my friends old civic tr with the same driver, I beat him in times( 8,4sec vs 7.8 sec). He was a lighter person, but some how he does not shift the gear as fast as I do. Perhps, I play the piano for 30 years... The final conclusion was to get a lower diff 4.9 from USA instead of 4.4, since I am not wooried about the top speed. My aim is for 0-100km/h race only. But the upgrade was expensive-2500US. so I also had an accident..write off. The 6 speed with lower diff 4.6 has a better power band all the way so as accleration, despite the ligter model. Personally, I think, this is the best car I NEVER HAD. Regarlesss of my time 7.5, I need put into test with v6, v8,ss holden and tell you the outcome vs my civic ITR race results. To be honest, the only person knows what he is doing is MYSELF??? and I have proved many times... stay tune... Ps, the 9.6 time was based on a new car? not runned in...mod???

Thanks GUYS. WSD is on tonight...but weather is not so good......I have been once, but it never interested in since its done on rubber floor rather than real road conditions. My aim of this 0-100 test is to compare my previous b18c(second hand) vs new corrolla. I have been doing many researchs on how to make NA car quicker for last 6 years. I applied the same rule on honda so as on Toyota. except the airflow meter part At least I know two cars running side to side(ITR vs corolla) are pretty close in my opnion since I am the only driver. From my honest opnion, at this stage, ITR is about one car ahead at 100. Thats is all I am interested in. Never in 400m or more. I am sue when i swtihed to TOYO semi slicks 195/50/15 also with a lower rolling diameter. This corolla is going to be fast. despite what sportiva can do. I think in real street drag, driver is more important than the car itself. But this varies from person to person. I aimed this test from speed bump to bump(a fixed measurement) vs stop watch. It can not go wrog, since you know the time taken between the two bumps and the distance of your car to the last bump. Have your say guys....

Thanks mate. I used to do stop watch and gtec for last 6 years on civic and ITR, what counts is the "consistency" of the outcome rather than accuracy as compared to drag racing results. G tec tends to read 0.3-0.2 sec FASTER than my stop watch. At least, I know, its the same driver, same manner, same road and same style. I was able to hit 110 in between the two speed bumps that I used to do with ITR and ..at least that tells me, corolla is doing well. I think its to do with new car and 6 speed with low diff(4.6) and a very good traction at launch as compared to my other cars 215/17/35. also, less power is lost thru trasmission and engine. So despite either its accurate to you or not, at leat at my "system" its working quite consistent. I will do two more runs this week, to further confrim my findings. as a scientist, consteitency counts more than any thing else. Thanks

Hi everyone, so after I put back the orginal air box (with slight mod)and extened cold air intake to the middle of frnt grill. I also did the oil change to 5-30w castrol edge. With just under 1/2 tank full.I did two runs with stop watch launching around 4000rpm with stock tyres(195/65/150 yokahama. I did 1,2 secod to 95 km/h at 6500rpm. I actually stop the stop watch befre it cut off, but did not bothered to shift to third to hit 100. I was impressed with the time I did .7.25sec and 7.35 respectively. I am sure IF i did to 100, it should around 7.5 mark.... so when I change to 195/50/15 toyo, I am sure I will slash down further. What it shows me and worried me is that the car magazine has reviewed this car for 9.6 sec up to 100km/h. How come? I used to do with b18c at did 7.25....7.3 till100 at 8100rpm. Please expain thewhy the car magazine is way out...They cant drive or me?

lol that is all... thanks everyone. On the weekend, I bought a new AIR box for my previous stuff ups. and also linked a new CAI to thr front gril. a longer tension than stock gives a better buffer air supply. Now car is working beautifully. Yes, 150$ is not much for now, I have planed for 3 years--till warranty runs out. either turbo or supercharger....when time comes I go the one which is most effortable. What you guys think?
