    Who has a turbocharged Corolla?

    The modification registry show that NINE people have turboed Corollas. NINE??? I only know of a couple...

    Okay, who's turbocharged, and while you're at it, list what you're using for a turbo and engine management, along with any other relevant info.

    It DOESN'T count if you are "planning on turboing" or if you "have the parts but haven't put it together yet". RUNNING turbo cars only.

    7 psi soon to be turned up to 10... after my $4500 of rear modification known as puling the interesting waves in the metal out of my car and remolding a rear bumper... ouch they told me 60 labor hours minimum.... after all that Ill finally get my fuel pump and etc in... but ill post what I have nopw and will have

    My dyno shows 221 whp at 7 psi... it may have been a spiek at 8 psi tho.... not sure til I get dynoed at a better place...

    T3 Super 60... .48/.60 compressor wheel which I think is a good fit for power on our car or a t3 .42/.48 for fast spool....

    I have T3 super 60 with MAF before turbo nd BOV before throttle body
    Emanage with pressure sensor and aditional wiring all set up for timing etc...
    Fuel is currently 550cc injectors with one of 2001rolla fuel rail... VERY VERY nice piece... soon to be a return system with a RR FMU and a new fuel pump...


    Im assuming you want to start designing a system so here are the problems that you will have... You will probably want to do blowby since you will get stalling if you dont...

    stock injectors dotn handle much unless you bump up the fuel pressure somehow.... then your fuel pump has a max flow issue where it wont flow enough for 7 psi.... maybe 5 psi max I didnt test it... It can keep 13.2 or so at highest rpms but im assuming most cars will make less power because of a more restircted stock exhaust so it may not be as bad..

    gt turbos are nice but way too much $$ for corolla owners... for routing of pipes I would go with the stafford/vortex/my kit did and route through the top not under the car...

    uhmmm... if you can source cheaper injectors like 440 or so maybe 360 then you would be ok.. even the gts 320 injectors would be a decent upgrade...

    emanage or split second is fine and more affordable then full replacement and then you can maybe add stages with a bigger fuel pump or something...

    12.5 daily here --- highest ever run continuously was 16.5 (subtract 3.5-4.0psi on each figure for sea level conversion) figures @ 11 psi are right around what LoSx sees - so I'd say you were pretty close to 7.5 or so when you got that .. then again, i think you're vvt-i as well so that may play a part. :)

    just dropped in a new motor this weekend -- gotta retune some things, need to install some new injectors (since i sold my 550's to Barnacules a little ahead of schedule, hehe all good tho - just glad to see another Rolla goin under the F/I :) )

    Turbo'ed with a Garrett T3 turbo, 42/48, using greddy emanage for engine management, running 7lbs(10lbs, when I feel frisky) daily and putting 150whp down.
