    The Celica TRD short shifter kit works for the corolla? Would that matter if you have a 6 speed tranny or just 5 speed?

    How I wish I could get my hands on that TRD Catalog..

    I hate to burst everyones bubble but the MOST anyone has gotten out of a 1zz motor is 384.4HP at just uver 300 foot pounds torque.

    If anyone on this board even came close to getting that I would be absolutely astonished. Only one member on this board has the drive, money and brains to do it and unfortunately he doesn't post all that often because he got tired of all the BS on this board. Interesting how the people who walk the talk don't even bother with boards like this.

    So you're saying all the rest of us are dumbshit poor folk huh? ... if you're so tired of all the BS then why don't *YOU* leave? I mean c`mon - you have NO idea the money I have (or a few others of us for that matter - couple of ya know just who i'm talkin about because you've been spending the money developing stuff just the same as me) nor do you have any idea mine or anyone else's drive. Nice way to slap a label on everyone just because 80% of people don't do what they claim they want to do. *SOME* of us who *ARE* actually doing these things don't come on here and brag and blab about every little thing we do because there is no need. We also hang around and offer up information for those that need it wether they do or don't proceed with things and to top it all off we put up with bullshit drama comments like the one you made.

    It's not about bursting bubbles and saying it can't be done. It's about finding ways to move past those thoughts of ' it can't be done ' -- I'm sorry but if a Civic motor can push 700whp - with enough money, engineering and patience a Corolla can SURE AS HELL break 400hp. I'm not saying I'll be the one to do it, but you need to get off your trip.

    back to the main topic....this is the list we have come up with as far as performance is concerned:
    Intake
    Header
    Exhaust
    overbored throttle body
    supercharger/turbo
    smaller s/c pulley
    UR race pullies
    adjustable cams
    n2o
    water injection
    port&polish intake manifold
    connecting rods
    valves
    valve springs
    piggyback systems or stand alone ecu
    fuel injectors
    fuel pumps
    MWR ARP stud kits
    pistons and sleeves
    flywheel
    new clutch for you manual owners lol
    short shifter
    level ten tranny strengthening

    For us auto owners:
    new/reworked torque converter
    Level ten PTS Shiftronic shifter

    ok now can you people so much smarter than me put them in order from first thing to get to last thing to get? That would help me and some others out alot. I know you guys could argue forever about the order, but it would be helpful if the list showed the things u must have in order to get the other things and stuff. thanks ahead of time.

    oh yea and if my list is incorrect or i forgot something please change it wen u reorder it thanx

    dude, come down man, S/C with 8lb boost is around 15.45 PSI inside the engine, I state that engine only can handlet till 18.9 PSI inside of engine, not boost PSI. if you talking about boost , only can handlet to 12psi at most, if you want to run higher, you have to redone the engine...I total agree that guy, more money more power... :p

    I beg to differ... there is a trix running 15 lbs. of boost with no problems. Also, there are smaller pulleys out there now, you dont need a "Tacoma" pulley.


    Also, 400 is possible, but it would be far from a 1zz after all the crap that needs to be strengthened, haha. Also... Tampa, you didnt say anything about a swap when saying 400 some horsepower, thats why people were calling BS. Silver2000 is right though, good luck getting that kinda HP out of this motor. With that kinda money buy a better car, period. Also, that list is crap... everyones list should be different or else we'd be driving the same cars around... how boring.

    9 sec... ok?

    Here is what I would do based on needing things before others, motor safety wise. Like you said everyone is different so you will probably see a bunch of different list. Also, some things were left out on purpose, haha

    1.short shifter (face it, its just funner to drive!)

    2.Intake
    3.Exhaust
    4.Header
    (these 3 in any order, but this is how I would do it)

    5&6.supercharger & ECU (need at the same time to control 5th injector)
    7.water injection
    8.smaller s/c pulley (should have water inj. before this!)

    overbored throttle body
    p&p the intake manifold
    (these 2 if you want it, i'd put it here)

    9.lightweight flywheel
    10.cams
    11.better clutch
    LSD



    you wont need all these unless you want to run nitrous
    (I wont put them in any order because im not sure of it)
    connecting rods
    valves
    valve springs
    fuel injectors
    fuel pumps
    pistons and sleeves
    level ten tranny strengthening

    400hp in a corolla? Hahahah. You would need Micky Thomsons on the front to make the car hook up <img src="http://vvti.net/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Smile" />

    the 1zzfe engine has an aluminum head and block right? If so Ive been told that aluminum would wear too quickly with the rings on the cylinder walls. Do all 1zzfe engines use sleeves or how else do they accomplish it without having the rings damage the walls too much? just curious..... im taking a class on internal combusion engines and am just starting to learn this stuff

    Or....

    Or you could go out and buy a fast car to begin with for all that money and still have enough left over to go on a long vacation.....lol

    Damn, if you're going to spend like 50 Gs to make your poor little Corolla go 135mph, why don't you just save up for one extra year, and buy a used C6 Corvette?
    It'll still be covered by a great warantee, go 185mph, and you'll still have your hearing intact, after driving it all day. lol

    My question has always been: If you wanted a fast ride, why did you buy a small 4 cyl. economy car?

    Is Fidenza the only company that makes a flywheel for the 2001 Corolla? I hear you have to get them ballanced before you install them but the ACT ones you don't. But ACT doesn't make a flywheel for our car but I was wondering if another company might.

    Fidanza makes one and MWR makes one..not sure if anyone else does.

    I've never heard of balancing a flywheel.

    Because I got an excellent deal, and couldn't afford much else. I'm not like your typical American who will go $10,000 into debt for a car...I owe nothing. :D
