Gday, and welcome to rollaclub.

 

A couple of handy hints for you so that you time here will be well spent.

 

The main one is make your posts readable to anyone over the age of 25. SMS speak is a pain to anyone not used to it, and as older people are more likely to have the answers you seek, you're excluding a large slab of experience when you do so.

 

The other one is search and you shall seek. Many topics have been covered before. The rides and projects threads are a wealth of knowledge, and if it's not covered somewhere in there, then it probably can't be done.

 

Try putting more info into you post. We can make many different suggestions, but if you only have $300, not many of them will be practical. You have to keep in mind that we get asked very opened ended questions like yours about once a day at the moment, so if you don't have a think about the questions you ask, you're not going to get answers you're happy with.

 

Regards

I don't think that you should go turbo, most corolla owners have had great success with a factory supercharged Merlin engine. We are currently putting together a step by step pictorial How-To guide for this budget, common, garden variety Corolla upgrade.

I've been having good success with a P&W Wasp Major in factory trim if you're looking for something with a little more punch than the Merlin :)

 

Best of both worlds, twin turbo and supercharged!

or be original: I don't know if anyone has converted a Starlet GT engine to rwd yet (4EFTE) but if it can be put into an AE82, there must be a way to put one in an early 'rolla, :)

Or torque...

[philbey]

Nice little setup. Looks like a honds S800 engine bay!

[macca__1590]

hayabussa??

a little more torque mabey, but tuned right could be prity sweet

[machg]

Turbo 'busas can punch out 400hp if built right, who needs torque?

[irokin]

Horsepower sells engines, Torque wins races.

just drive around at 9000rpm all the time
