    more power to 02 corrola ce

    i got a 02 corrola ce for my birthday. i helped pay for it so im out of money. but ist not fast enough for my taste. its quick. dam quick. i beat my cousins ford prope. well anyways, i want it to be a sleeper so i dont want to buy a turbo or supercharger or a loud exaust. what can i get that would give me power but keep the noise down? i already ordored some header wrap. and i put castroil synthetic and that helped out with my excell. i am going to want a cai. but i cant find any that is mild quality that doesnt cost excess 200$. i can get my freind at his shop to bore and polish the head. what else can i do to help keep it sleeper as goes for the engine modifications.

    You put Castrol Syntec in as a performance mod? lmfao!

    Sounds to me like you're trying to make a fast car out of a Corolla without spending any real money. Sorry to break it to you man, but unless you plan on putting some money into your ride, you aren't gonna see much gains, even from a CAI.

    cai does not give you alot of power. in fact it really doesnt give you power it frees up lost power from your engine.
    "you can't make an automatic corolla fast without f/i"
    what is a f/i ? i have a standard. not an automatic. but the venom 400 gives you mostly gains by changing your shift points in your automatic.

    F/I = Forced Induction = Turbochargers, Superchargers, etc.

    N/A = Naturally Aspirated = Your car now.

    I'm sorry, I usually use the term sleeper for cars that look stock, but underneath the hood is a different story (i.e. stock looking CRX's with H22's and B18C's under the hood with no other major changes done to the exterior to make them "look fast")

    You are not going see substantial gains from minor upgrades like CAI, Exhaust Systems, etc.. At least, nothing like any websites claims.

    You can add these parts and see minimal gains to make your car quicker, but it will in no way be a sleeper.

    Listen to the girl when she tells you modules are bullshit because modules are, in fact, bullshit.

    my teacher did a test between motor oils. seems as though conventional oil can withstand MORE heat than syntec blend oil. I use nothing but Mobil 1. Also stay away from Fram filters cause they dont filtrate all the loose particles.

    cold air intakes are good for horsepower but itll cost you low end torque. The chip you're thinking of getting, i hope you mean getting your ecu re-mapped. EL Prototypes have both of those.

    Other things to get that could help you out are clutch, flywheel, or maybe pulleys.

    You can get pulleys at www.Unorthodoxracing.com (i might spelled it wrong).
    Clutch and flywheel are everywhere if you look in Google but it'll take some real looking to find a good deal.

    If you'r ereally looking to spend real cash for performance, you can try Rod Millen Racing. They MAY have some stuff since they specialize in toyotas.

    ah i completely misunderstood.

    i have a few posts around on a stock airbox conversion to a CAI, and that's free, and is just as good as any CAI you can buy, and is better than short ram intakes. i'll dig up the link later.

    the port and polish for the cylinder head sounds like a very good idea. if you go with a street/strip application, you will get a good bit of power at the cost of a rougher idle. i say it's completely worth it. the p'n'p alone will probably make you faster than most n/a corollas around. also some exhaust work will complement this modification for sure.

    the jet performance chip doesn't work very well with corollas because our ECU adapts itself to whatever changes are made and will eventually reprogram itself. the corolla ecu for 00-02 is really not that bad. there are also some things you should remember about vvti: when you slam on the gas, timing is retarded, but when you smoothly (but also quickly) press down the pedal timing is advanced, which is what you're looking for.
