Is that a production turbo kit or did you put it together yourself?

heres some shatty cell pics

holy shit

NIce pics!

looking real good man how much horse that car putting out?

That a very clean looking turbo setup for a homemade turbo kit. Props man.:thumb:

update:

all i need now is a sprinter grille...
front view...


a little closer....

thanks, i think your car is the best jspec it is my background on my home computer. i really like flipsides car ive been keeping an eye on it on the corollacarclub forum.but i want your bumper jspec.

What bumper is that? Looks good.

nirmahc, thanks for the compliment, its the gen 1 sprinter bumper... here's an updated version of it with the sprinter s-grille...

sorry phan i didnt see your post. right now its not running the greatest. but at 3.5 psi i think im in the 120-130 hp range. its a little faster than my monte ss (not for long) i dynoed it when i went to school (no turbo) or anything and about 20,000 miles since an oil change and i got 89whp and 90lbs and i would say it feels at least 30- 40 more but i dont want to overshoot.i will be getting it dynoed soon. either this weekend or next if i can get it out of limp mode. if you would like more info, i spend alot of time on corollacarclub and emanage forums.not so much emanage forums since my ultimate went down. thanks again for the positive comments.

daaaamn its been 2 years since i have been online here lol wow

here are some pics of how i sold her












and upgraded accordingly lol

looks good but i dunno if the tiburon is an upgrade? the mustang maybe...just my opinion upgrade or not they are both very sharp.

agreed if its a 6 banger no if v8 still no j/k

the car runs great no problems i love it. i think i pissed off most of houston today. pkshhhh pkshhhh.

wether you think its an upgrade or not. styling, handling, and power on either of those cars vs a corolla NA or FI is still an upgrade .

as to powertrains in question on the new cars, looking at the tiburons engine bay and the mustangs front fascia will quickly reveal their trims to the average car enthusiast.

yellow rolla,

i guess your your corolla is in good hands, and i hope that dude takes care of it the way you did...

your tiburon (or coupe as they call it here in asia) looks good man...

Nice and clean Rolla. What do you use to clean the engine valve cover?

last i saw it it didnt seem like it had been taken care of. it looked rough around the edges, what i can i say ppl dont treat cars like i do.

thanks yea the international badge for the tiburon is tuscani, coupe goes to europe and tiburon to north america

you cant really clean 10 years of use on a valve cover. i sanded and layed on layers of high temp ceramic paint

^ do you have a documented DIY on how sanded your FE engine? i'm thinking of doing it to my ST...

Nicely done!

i dunno, im pretty sure i could beat a (stock)tiburon at 4 psi at least stay next to him. i know my monte will walk all over them.

AGREED to an exstant stock to stock power wise thoes 2 are beter , GAS PROBLEMS these days COROLLA...........now turbo rolla i`ve already killed them bouth. my 240sx and my expedition i still love my corolla BETTER EVAN OVER THE 1,300 HP 72 NOVA

what the hell did you say pedro? ill i got out of that was agreed, and maybe your 240 was faster than your corolla? wtf??? it only has minor bolt on's right?

lol :super sorry bro did i confused you :superconf
