Nothing transform a street corolla like boost. Proven from 14s to 10sec monsters on basicly stock chasis + relatively 'simple' builds.
Heck yeah, fab skilz definitely required
4Agte best fit, smaller, lighter, easier to work on, parts availability, quieter and waaayyyy faster than any beams
Pick ur poison; acceleration to match your handling & brakes
No more boring slow noisy pos = wrong chasis ??

CR? Cams? Headwork??
Jayrdee wrote:LOVE IT. Basically you're combating the lack of air pressure in the mountains by lowering your compression so you can shove more air in there via turbo? Also, good call on overbuilding your motor. I don't understand why people build their motors and push it 110%. They spend more money trying to fix everything than they do driving!
The TVIS in your case would be very beneficial too in maintaining that low end torque. The only people who remove it are the ones that plan on smacking their rev limiter 24/7 Lol.
Little off subject, I helped a buddy drive his cars to Las Vegas from Kentucky this past weekend. He joined the air force recently and is getting stationed there. Colorado is absolutely beautiful. I got to drive his lowered IS300 through the mountains so it was fun. I can only imagine what it will be like in a 300hp ae86.

Don't see much point overbuilding. A leanout will damage forgies, and detonation can hammer any rod bearings
A CXracing turbo ain't 'overbuilding'![]()
quite a few dyno'd turbo + TVIS advantages. A significant shift tq curve upwards, plus 7-800 rpm quicker spoolup
Oldschool member Neil was the 1st megasquirted 4AG I can remember. He raved how TVIS + small IHI(ford probe) turbo = "V8-like lower rpm acceleration" ...an unusual, but welcomed added dimension of fun, from a puny 1.6L street car
I've owned a bunch of rollas, and none came close to my daily driven(14 years) ca18det powered s13, in reliability

Then I turboed the poor thing to 5 psi with an SDSEFI standalone which sometimes spiked to12psi due to "restrictive" 2.25" exhaust system. Okay later on I adapted a 70mm second hand MA60 Supra to my AE86, but anyway.... so that's somewhere around 200whp with those spikes.. Then I've -GZE'ised the stock (still unopened) bluetop with the system's stock -GZE electronics. Didn't dyno it because of the half moon clip failure at the crank snout at the very end of ownership. Which is about the only thing that marred my bluetop's 10 years of reliability record.
Mind you, this was with 87octane(if that) gasoline we get here in this part of the Caribbean.
I see many people worried (hks being too restrictive) but my evo puts out 350hp blowing through the stock exhaust 60mm in the choke points. If it does become an issue I won’t mind changing it whatsoever.
There is another much simpler factor involved and that is that the car will be rarely utilizing all the available HP.

Deuce Cam wrote:Huh, are there 2 versions of the sport, or is it not a sport? I noticed the color of the paint is different (darker) than the one i bought new in 2011.
60 mm should be good for a turbo 4ag
