Engine Turbos

Turbos

I'm new to this forum i have been reading your threads and you guys are good wit your knowledge of rollas so i have a question...i have an 05 sport and i want turbo it i found this kit on turbokits.com if you want to see it heres the link: http://turbokits.com/corolla_turbo_kits.html
but i wanted to kno if it would work for my car becuz wasnt the 1ZZ-FE used in the 98-02 models to?

no no no no.. stay away from there.

off topic, ur in ft lauderdale? cooooooool...

What is wrong with that turbo kit. As far as I can see it has a good turbo with good components. I mean other then the manifold, turbo, fuel management and BOV its just a buncha hoses and tubes right?

stay away from that site? and yes im in fort lauderdale i want to put a turbo on my 05 so where would you suggest i go to ?

go custom.. there's hosts of problems with the kits available online..

www.turbokits.com is just a bad place to go, you may get a turbo adn some piping, but there's absolutely no R&D going into those kits.

well i wanted the trd sc but for 4 grand runnin 6-8 psi tha just doesnt sound like any fun i wanted to buy the XRS but it was a whole money issue

^^ you'll get the exact results going turbo, minus losing your engine/drivetrain warranty..

true true i went to the site and they are alot cheaper then goin straight thru trd

Actually, he's got an 05 so he can't even use the TRD SC since the ECUs have changed from the 03 - 04. You might be able to use it in conjunction with a Greddy eManage to handle the fuel management, but you'll lose your warranty.

the only thing i hate about buyin trd things is that they dont have tha many performance parts well for my car tha is

oh well .. then.. shoulda bought a scion hehe sorry had to joke a bit..

so either way in the end im voiding my warranty lol

yup.

welcome to the world of modifying.. wipe your feet.....

thanx o well i will make the choice soon i guess lol

I've heard/seen nothing but bad news from the kits sold there.

really thanx for the heads up wouldnt a custom kit cost more than one of the ones online wat problems have you heard

Custom kits cost a lot. Heh. Mines costing me a lot, but I know I have all good quality parts for my setup. The hardest part is trying to get all the research for what parts you'll need as wellas finding them all for a good price.

tru i was wanting to buy that kit becuz i didnt want to boost to much but i wanted to know i had the power under the hood and i didnt want anything to big you kno

..... shoulda bought an XRS then lol

have you thought about just buying the TRD SC?

Yeah, the TRD supercharger might be your best bet. www.toyotaterritory.com has some good prices, plus discounts to www.toyrolla.com members :-D.

^- these guys caught my attention (i'm looking at turboing my corolla too)

If you can get Magnuson, which is the company who makes the TRD S/C I believe, make a custom S/C to work with your setup, there are other companies that make performance bolt ons for our 9th gens. The S/C is less maintenance intensive and much more daily driver friendly, especially crusin around town.<br />
<br />
You right though, TRD doesn't make many performance mods for our cars for the U.S., but in Japan they have plenty of TRD mods available, but TRD is way more expensive and there are many &quot;better&quot; ones out there. TRD has kits, but if you use them you lose your warranty anyways, in that case a warranty is the last of your worries.<br />
<br />
Good luck.

damn thanx for the input rolla dink i thought that when you use trd parts on your car tha it doesnt void your warranty

i just found this site the other day. www.importperformanceparts.net/ They carry a lot of stuff for the corolla. From engine kits to turbo kits. It seems that the company Turbo Specialties also makes one for our cars. Only thing is that the kit is only $1619 so it makes me kinda iffy. Whats ur take on this?

they only have it for 98-02 even tho we use the same engine will it still work coreectly

if u got the 1zzfe yes

i have been to tha site before and i kno about there stuff 1700 is bad for the turbo but the things you will be missin out on is wat makes it so expensive thas why they give u the 2 options but is it true no matter wat parts whether they be TRD or not they will void my warranty

Hey Tamago,

This is Jesse from Turbo Kits.com. You claim that Turbo Kits.com is a bad place to go. Is this first hand expierence? I just want to make sure that you are giving the people on this board 100% legit info. Customer service is our #1 priority and I take it personally when someone makes statements like you have. We never want a custom to feel ripped off in anyway.

hey guys what do you think about switching from a t3/t4 hybrid turbo to a t28????

well lets face it I&quot;m just trying spool up quick cuz horsepower on the 1zzfe stock internals is limited..
