  1. It is a must learn from me I had a corolla standard internals and destroyed 3 motors I would dare drive it have way through the setup. Who on earth told you it was ok to run stock ecu and injectors. There is maybe 4 people on this forum who have first hand experience which is me bill pippy and CEIKA. As bill said don't drive it don't start it. Get the fuel system to cope. Good people I found are pulse racing in menai they did my cars tune and know power fc's and my motor If you do need any advise call me I'm happy to answer all your questions 0458000699 -Dave

  2. it made 227.7kw at the wheels u can have a look on my members ride thread for more info.

    i bought the car after it was supercharged but i have also done work since. originally aroun 10k was spent supercharging it

    which was onto to the rotrex charger piping welding tuning injectors engine mods,

    since then i have spent 1500 on LSD and ugrading other gearbox parts

    fuel rail 400ish

    new brakes 700

    retuning 1000ish

    new clutch 700ish plus install

  3. its all about how you treat the gearboxes if you abuse the gearbox then the syncros will wear out quicker simple

    i am running 310HP from my 7th gen celica and never had any gearbox issues even running the TRD LSD too,

  4. Lol, I was considering boosting, but just need to find a kit, did u have to do any internal engine work?

    and did u have to do get it engineered? gladesville is pretty close, wouldnt mind meeting up to check out your car sometime

    Pffft why would u wanna look at that celica when u can check out a modded sportivo :spiteful: :spiteful: :spiteful: :spiteful:

    hahaha j/k Lylee ..... latest pics make ur beast look good. Check out my ride thread in my signature for sportivo specific stuff

    I would also suggest reading this write up - http://au.toyotaowne...la-have-a-read/

    U aint ever going to find a kit that is going to fit the stivo .... if ur not prepared to do any R&D then dont start modifying this car beyond bolt ons.

    if u do any of this sort of stuff u r gonna need to get it engineered

    Im pushing out almost 250kw's at the wheel and thats what u can expect if you f/i it with all the bells n whistles & so if u dont deal with the additional upgrades required to support that sort of power & get it to pass engineering then it simply aint safe for u n those around u.

    Like i said above .... read my other thread and have a good thought about things because its really painful to quit a project half way through bcuz of lack of planning.

    as we were talking about last meet if you are planning something as big as a supercharged or turbocharged conversion you gotta budget for everything and over quote. you need to look at part prices, shipping, exchange rates, import taxes, labour, tuning, oils and lubes

    nuts bolts gaskets clamps and then keep an extra 5k or so for unknowns. that is if you want to cover all bases, even as far as bill did and get a second car if you rely upon your pride and joy as a daily driver as time is one big factor too. as bill said a car that is being developed isnt going to make money for the shops the geet the small quick jobs that make them the most money. so dont expect it back unless your happy to be charged a premium.

    in all honesty it is a massive task to do something like this as a person without much technical know how. but bill is very good to use as a resource as with his knowlege into r&d of the corollas and myself with celicas and corollas. im always happy to help out with anything. any questions u can sms me 0458000699 and ill get back to you asap

  5. 73 and have enjoyed many beautiful cars including two EHs an Alfetta GTV, a Mazda 1800 which I still have, a V6 Camry and we have just bought a new Corolla Ascent Sport in Tidal Blue which is getting liquid injected LPG. All manuals except the EH Prem. Also a 1956 Morris Minor with a Perfect Tune head, extractors and a huge exhaust for its 803 cc engine. It had a first gear capable of propelling it to walking speed. I drove it from Brisbane to Melbourne at 70 mph until the gearbox broke at Goondiwndi which slowed me down.

    I value quietness in cars because I'm a classical music lover with a complete Bach collection and the Camry is my yardstick of a quiet car. Driving and music are two of my main interests.

    driving and music are my passion but i suppose i am quite differant in my sound levels, i love an audible deep gurgle from the celica and the music at a nice level to my ears :P
