Engine 1ZZ-FE Engine Mods

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.

Vortex your my hero

keep your cool guys...

lets be constructive and not the other way around..

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

you're telling ME not to be an asshole? watch your own words buddy..and what dont i know what i'm talking about?

I love Vortex now

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...

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?

look at that, the new guy has to tell you guys to stop being bitches....

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

it aint my fault tampacorolla can't make his statements clear, it's like fuckin decoding chicken scratch just to get an idea of what he's talking about

Sorry about that guys... next time I will post the comment clearly....

that is just sick. anyway to do all this an be able to pass the Cali emissions? I'll even take 250 WHP and be passable.

i dont think they r runnin the 1zz there in england (even if they did, I highly doubt it was still in that car), but i believe those times are achievable, I think it was AWD though

Where do you find this stuff? I couldn't find a super charger for my 2001 corolla and as for the stand alone ECU's where do I get those?

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?

you can go out and buy a mwr big bore kit,with 8.8:1 pistions ,crowler rods ,head studs and valve springs for a hair over 2k. I have 7500 in my engine alone.

damn that's a lot of shit.

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.
