toro126

true that,lol i mainly do freeway driving..i wanna spend like 10k.

juz looking to get more power.But dnt knw whether to go rebuilt or 2zz.

hi guys my corolla km are at 177,ooo. So i was thinking once it goes what should i do?

rebuild the motor with better internals for supercharger or turbo conver

buy a vvti engine on ebay and modify that....

or try to find a vvtl i engine and turbo charge that?

what do u guys think is good?

i also want a set of d2 coilovers.....any1 selling?

i also have a project in the garage......mazda rx2....il post some pics soon.

no it happened even b4 i intalled the thermostat.if im freeway drivn say im going at 120 on 5th gear then i put into nuetral the revs drop down to 1000 rpm then jumps to 1800 rpm then back to 1000 rpm so on and so on. it will only go away when i have it in gear.at the lights on idle its sits at 1500-1800rpm.

the funny thing is when i switch the a/c the revs drop down to 1200 rpm then to 1800rpm when thea/c clutch goes on.

my car is back on the road naw... i got a helicoil done from mobile dude action thread repair. i put performance plugs plus the new coilpack. i also installed a hd exedy clutch and machine flywheel and trd thermostat goes sick. but naw atfer all that my car on idle it sits at 1500-1800 rpm.it wont go down.iv checked for vacuum leaks checked all connections, checked cable and throttle body, plus i talked to my mate at toyota.

every says to me to give the computer time to adjust....is this true?

plp tell i should re programe my ecu coz of wat happened to the coilpack.

the plug thread has thread on it but near the tip the thread is a bit wavy.the new plug feels like it want to wind but then juz lets go and keeps spining it doesnt really wanna grap.

you should be able to get the plug thread helicoiled to repair it without needing to remove the head.

the plugs were changes bout 4-5months ago.by a friend.what worshops or mechanics do helicoil? cylinder head recons?

is it indonesian or japanese made?

If the coil split down the side at the seam it can arc out to the head, suprising the ECU kept firing and didn't switch into limp home mode after the IGf signals from that coil stopped.

I've heard of some of the indonesian coils failing.

no, its jap. THE BURNT OUT BIT ON THE PLUG IS WHERE IT SPARKS FROM AND THE THREAD IS GONE. i tried to put new spark plug but the thread is gone on the head.the tip of the coil melted and broke.so naw i gotta remove the head.its got 158,ooo km on it.its a 2004 corolla.i juz dont know wat caused this.

hi guys need help,

my wife was driving today and the corolla started to mis and backfire a little bit, so i jumped in to the drivers seat got on the m5 then i gave it a thrash, 10 mins laters heard a wired noise and car had no power and sounded like exaust leak. i realised i was running on 3 cylinders got home and found dat the seconed coil pack cracked out of place pushing the engine cover out. i removed the coil pack which was melted and broken removed the park plug and it was completly burnt out....why would this happen any help thanx

you can't exactly call it "DIY"if you have tools like a flat bed mill etc etc in a shed. It is kind of cheating LOL

DIY is using a grinder from Supercheap, a tube of "knead it"(hey north LOL), an ancient stick welder(haha) and a can of silver frost (hehehehe), and some 2nd hand blunt drill bits.......

hehe, now now silva, DIY is doing stuff yourself, the mill and lathe aren't CNC (still DIY if they are).

from the items you have listed no wonder you guys are worried about hurting yourselves when doing DIY.

This is DIY the proper way! :)

Project is coming along nicely 1ZZE FTMFW!!! Just curious as to what size turbo that is?

Turbo is a TD04L out of a 2008 WRX. :)

hey,

good work and congrats.... u guys are masters!!!!! well done.

u can do my 1zz when ur done lol

its true mate..im mechanic iv replaced a couple of cluthes in corolla's and it does take bout 8hrs, it can be done quicker but no point rushing things if you want it done right. labour ur looking between 250-350..
