Forced Induction cost of turboing a 7th gen

cost of turboing a 7th gen

ok guys here is what it has started to come down to sell my 7th gen and buy a 05 xrs or turbo my 7th gen

so if i was looking to turbo it like a few of you have what is the cost i am looking at doing (including a rebuild kit)

i know a few of you have done this

all impute is welcome

pls help

I would go with the XRS and turbo that

that has crost my mind before

but that would cost 9000 for the car then 4000 for the turbo set up and it will push about 240 hp so it has been a thought

now remember i am a collage student with two jobs so to get the loan for the car is imposible

I wouldn't know but I'm sure there is post of this on here or corollacarclub or toyotanation lol

Buy a leaf blower.

Think about this XRS are rare and hard to buy , So what if you dont turbo it right away but you will have a XRS will eventually be valuable down the line and when you add the turbo then you know you have a gold mine

Doesnt hurt to ask all around , Some people dont come on here or on Corolla Car Club or toyota nation & Tune My Toyota because they might like all the forums or the people . So you ask and you get a broad idea . Some people have different reasons you choose the one best for you .... Maybe if all the forums work together Corolla's might be out there more then Honda's

Now you see why people post on other forums the same question ???

I was just saying just incase he hasn't checked and I feel you I do the same

I say keep the Corolla and use it throughout college until you graduate. Once you're out and making money, you'll have a much bigger budget to buy a much better car.

true that

some people cant wait 4 years for a much nicer car.

damn i got on here hoping to find the answer but out of all of it nobody has even given a ballpark lol

Thats why you post the same questions on other forums ....Cause if you cant get your answer here you gonna get it some where else ...LMAO

Good things come to those who wait.

I cant wait I have been waiting for about a year now saving money so i am close to the xrs about 5 grand short and my parents wont cosign cause i dont have a full time job just two part time now

i dont post on other forums cause i dont like reading the same thing over and over. the only corolla forums i have been on in the past are vvt-i and this one

I was just hoping i could find the answer on here cause there are a few turboed 7th gens haha



i may keep the 7th gen when i buy the xrs just because i cant get the money for it here in cali

^^^ i agree,the car that holds value is the celica gts(from what i notice) and http://www.turbokits.com/corolla_turbo_kits.html sells for the 9thgen corolla all models but if you rather go custom price is atleast $4k-$5k installed.

i agree back in the day turbokits.com had junk turbo kits and crap customer service but if you notice they dont make for 7geth or 8thgen anymore only 9thgen.the price i gave was from my friend who work in a car shop that gave me a estimate price around $4k-$5k it all depends on the size of the turbo gt28,gt30,gt35 or 50trim and the turbo manifold works with a/c so its all in the person and the option they want.

i have heard that ebay turbo manifold crack easy espeically on high boost past 10psi.

yeah i had a friend that owns a viper shop and they also built custom nesson he said about a grand but he didnt want to help build a corolla so idk

by the way i have a 7a-fe

are you using the same ebay manifold on your car?how many psi?

pnyk33 should chime in since he has the same motor and turbo.

here his ride http://trdforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=42175&highlight=pnyk33

yeah i have seen his car i was hoping he would sooner or later lol his car is what made me think about doing it

wow, all of this from today and tues! lol
pfft, im not asking about turbo for 8th gen. hehe

its hard

like what me and hookeduprolla96 said you either go to a shop or build your turbo from scraps w/a friend or someone who knows how to weld.

yea, i kinda want to but prob wait till summer.
gonna have extra 1zz soon and build it up.
