Iv never been in a 20v, but i have driven a 2zz and yea it does pull pretty good.

My bro n law has a gsr swap in his eg with I/h/e/im with a tune and it does pull hard just dosent quite feel as good as the 20v and I've ran him he beats me by 1 car and a 1/2 and I only have I/e

SK; question, your bro in law has i/h/e/im (instant messaging) ? dude ive been looking all over for this mod for my car and I cant find anyone that has instant messaging in their car too. ask him how he did that.lmao jkjk but what is (im)

Stuck a black toyota badge on the front and completely shaved the rear. Thoughts?

Yeah lol it means intake manifold stock ones are very restrictive that's why I was putting a 2zz manifold on my 1zz it'll make a good difference but I sold it to my boy with the 9th gen

2x on macks question

It does bolt right up but first you need to buy a adaptor plate some guy makes, my boy bought one if you want I can give you his info if you guys are interested

Long time no post. Crappy picture but whatever. Don't mind the 370z back there...my car is way cooler.

Yep same price probably the same guy my boy has a 2zz manifold for sale with sensors and 2zz throttle body if anybody wants to buy

with the adapter too?

dude your car looks great. you did a great job all around. the trunk looks a million times better shaved. may i suggest a trd badge for shits and giggles. also i agree with mack. lose the badge and the stock grille and get a nicer mesh and zip tie it farther back.

also its purely just my opinion but lose the bottom grille all together and the eye lids.... idk how i feel about those, but if you really like them keep them

Nope just the manifold with throttle body and sensors

How much does he want to sell it for? And how many more horses will I gain from the upgraded throttle body?

He wants $300 for the entire thing Obo ... And I can't really tell you how much you would gain because I would be lying to you but I know you would be moving a lot better the 2zz throttle body can almost eat the 1zz one and the runners on the 2zz Mani are so much bigger than the 1zz one .. Put it this way people with hondas buy after market intake manifolds for a reason to gain power or they throw a type r IM on their gsr because they will gain power ... So yeah this is one of the few options we corollas owners have

Well let me talk to this guy. I'm interested. I learned a lot on google about our engines today, and your comparison between us and the honda boys really got me thinking. I really hope he can work out a good deal with me because im incredibly interested but I'd be stretching the bank really bad buyin the throttle body and the adapter. Perhaps just buy the parts slowly and build as I go. Question though: Is this like a direct direct bolt on? I dont wanna buy the throttle body and the adapter and find out that I have to throw down another 500 to get it to work properly.

i had the TRD grill badge on there but i removed it b/c i dont have any TRD parts. I even removed the S since my car is actually an LE lol. i think I'm going to do something about the grills up front since that's what you guys have mentioned. Thanks for the input!

Yeah well your not buying just the throttle body off of him it's the intake manifold(which is where the adaptor goes) to with sensors ... And yeah you could buy it stuff slowly because these manifolds are expensive and are hard to find so buy it when you find it you feel me ... And what type of intake you have on it now? And yeah it goes right on the only thing you have to do is lengthen the wires of the iacv sensor a bit which isn't a big deal an pretty easy as long as you buy the same color wire and have the right tools but the adaptor brings instructions Anyways

Hahaha dude the only trd thing I have in my car are my seat belt cushions. But its TRD cuz Its a toyota, I race my car and its constantly being developed.lol And i have quite a few things more to do. I promise to post some updates soon. Either ways your car looks sick. I cant wait to see it with the new grille.

lol * I'd be stretching the bank really bad buyin the throttle body and the adapter. * I meant that With the purchase of the adapter, Then i'd be stretching the bank seeing as Id be spending around 600 bucks. (thats a lot of money for me).
I have a custom intake I made for my car.
lengthening wires shouldnt be a problem as I find myself doing that all the time with my electronics everywhere.lol

Well that's why you buy them at separate times And the set up you have now is perfect because you moved the battery so it won't be in the way nice !!! And that's perfect that you know how to lengthen your own wires so your pretty much set

^m wondering if i can get away with putting it onto one of my fold-down visors. or on my dash?

okey dokey. Im pulling the plate off and working on the grill this week then.
