July 18, 200719 yr Author comment_187593 nice work bro. should be a machine when complete. hahah u rekon? I spoke to some mechanics last night, reckon with that turbo on a manifold, running 15psi with a microtech & exhaust will be good for 270hp ATW... then chuck in a set of new pistons, o-rings top & bottom, copper head gasket, arp head studs up boost to 25psi and head for 450hp ATW! I am aiming for magic 10's...so i'll be close, if not well into them.... KEEP ROLLIN' Mark M Report

July 23, 200719 yr Author comment_188100 were the mounts custom made or were they an off the shelf product Mate, i beleive they were custom made in new zealand...maybe someone over there makes them regularly? shipped over here for the guy i bought them off... I got the mounts off this guy for a steal at around 200...coz he didnt need them anymore... I know a guy that can make them up for a reasonable price and top quality work here is SYD... Speak to Matt from Hitech Mods, 0402 366 693... he knows a heap about 4age's in ke20's....i think he owns one atm... cheers rextoy, KEEP ROLLIN! Report
July 24, 200719 yr Author comment_188258 gday all, another update, I just bought a Turbo manifold for my 4a, it's the one off ebay that i'm sure many have seen... Set me back 300 one dollar coins...shit it looks PHAT!... spoke to a mod whizz, he reckons they are good, he has used them on VL turbo's many times but reccommended bracing as it has alot of weight to support... This one has a t3 flange (bolt on for my gt3076R)...and a 2-bolt wastegate flange to suit Tial or two bolt Turbosmart types... Here it is: Report

July 24, 200719 yr comment_188261 you wont make that much power and youll break many gearboxes Report
July 24, 200719 yr Author comment_188314 you wont make that much power and youll break many gearboxes HAHAHA not much power? you think? why do u say that? i highly doubt it though...unless you call 250hp ATW on low boost "not much power"... but you are correct in saying that the gearbox will not be sufficient, the sprinter box will be for street use only, i will be using a Corona 4 speed for the track. any more input, please post up... KEEP ROLLIN! Report
July 26, 200719 yr Author comment_188840 Hey all! Well it turns out that the exhaust manifold i bought off ebay is modelled off a 20v 4age... so apparently have to lengthen the end holes...still worth it for the price, i think.... Does anyone know anything about this, will lengthening the holes make it less structurally stable? basically, will it break...hahaha any input is greatly appreciated guys, any ideas at all, please post them up... KEEP ROLLIN! PS: does anyone know of any Corolla cruises in NSW/Sydney?? I'm keen as to drive my beast while it's still stock... cheers, Mark M Report
