1994 corolla 1.6l can it go fast?
 

i have a 1994 toyota corolla(i picked up for a couple hundrid for a winter beeter) and was suprised ot find that with the 5speed and a 1.6 i don't run to bad(no a racecar) but i is pretty fun to drive i was wondering what are some cheap performance parts that you guys would recomend also i ordered a skunk2 intake manifold should i notice a performance gain? or is it insgnifigant? but adding spray and boost is not somthing in particular i want to to but if i can build a turbo kit cheaply i might think about it and also where can i get a headder (or dose one have to be custom made?)
thanks and again i do not plan on racing but i might go out to trackday a few times
thankyou for looking and please no haterade for wanting to make a corolla go fast(it is a cheap lightweight car and that is what exacly hondas have)

i is cornfuzed

Re: 1994 corolla 1.6l can it go fast?
 

Ive got a 1997 Corolla. Going to do a 4AGE awap and possibly boost that but who knows.

Theres some ssautoshit manifolds on eGay, but you could probably have a better one made by somone on here and be further ahead.

So yeah, manifold + JY turbo + FMIC & piping from donald + SAFC (or somthing like that) + bigger injectors = fast(er) Corolla.

Re: 1994 corolla 1.6l can it go fast?
 

i don't understand y there aint much or a aftermarket for corollas they are like equilivent year conda civics and toyotas are even nicer cars in my opinion(no i am not hateing on honda)

Re: 1994 corolla 1.6l can it go fast?
 

yeah they are just like em

Wow your a retard, anyway is it a 2dr? that would be sweet. Surf the web and spend some time reading here on hmt and build a cheap turbo kit you will. the mechanical end would be the easy part, I dont know what kind of ems they have out for toyota's, you will more than likely have to run some sort of piggyback.

Re: 1994 corolla 1.6l can it go fast?
 

i got a 95 1.8 7afte auto been running like 7- 10 psi daily :6

and WOOT nigga?

Re: 1994 corolla 1.6l can it go fast?
 

20V 4AGE swap will bolt right in and you can use your existing tranny or alot of the matching tranny's are LSD equiped or find a blacktop 20v 4AGE with a LSD 6spd.

Re: 1994 corolla 1.6l can it go fast?
 

a bunch of 3sgte swap has been done. but i mean if the 3sgte fits then might as well go v6 :6

Re: 1994 corolla 1.6l can it go fast?
 

that or a 3sgte from a mr2 turbo with a 5 speed lsd ;)

Re: 1994 corolla 1.6l can it go fast?
 

The "A" series is going to be an easier swap, "S" series would mean new mounts.

Re: 1994 corolla 1.6l can it go fast?
 

id go for the tq of a S over the revabilty of a A if ur going to go swaping ----, mounts or no mounts, plus turbo stock. 3sgte is the most underrated engine out there

Re: 1994 corolla 1.6l can it go fast?
 

agreed

Re: 1994 corolla 1.6l can it go fast?
 

that wouldnt happen to be the 4afe would it??

Re: 1994 corolla 1.6l can it go fast?
 

Guessing from his reading the topic of those thread I doubt he knows what engine it is.

Re: 1994 corolla 1.6l can it go fast?
 

just put an old 4ac carbed motor in it !!

my old 85 corolla was stupid fast ( down a cliff )

but the thing lived to barry a tach past 8K RPM, that outta spin a turbo !!

i seen a few people puttin the MR2 motors in those things....supercharged 4agze

Re: 1994 corolla 1.6l can it go fast?
 

buy a kit from hooper humperdink, they have bolt on kits that see well over 250whp on the stock corolla.

Re: 1994 corolla 1.6l can it go fast?
 

You only spent a few hundred on that bitch, just boost it and find out if its quick or not. Theres a ton of info to be found on teh nets, go look.

Re: 1994 corolla 1.6l can it go fast?
 

no

Re: 1994 corolla 1.6l can it go fast?
 

Yeah, its the 4AFE, Ive got a 1997 its the same genereation car.

Re: 1994 corolla 1.6l can it go fast?
 

i hate people go to a BLATANTLY HOME MADE FABRICATED CUSTOMIZED SPECIALIZED IN CHEAP TURBO APPLICATION WEBSITES and ask how to ------- make their car go faster, like we are going to say anything new that the last 10 thousand threads haven't said.

or when they dont read faq's and do their own research before asking to be spoonfed like the little porchmonkeys that they are

Re: 1994 corolla 1.6l can it go fast?
 

so here's a thread jacking question, hows a hyundai elantra? :P found one local for $475, a 2000 with 200k miles on it, new tranny.. hmm... if thats what jeff boosted that one time and it kept falling apart I want no part of it LOL

Re: 1994 corolla 1.6l can it go fast?
 

---- that.

Re: 1994 corolla 1.6l can it go fast?
 

Naw Dan, that was a Kia I'm sure did since he works at a Kia dealership.

Re: 1994 corolla 1.6l can it go fast?
 

true. www.club4ag.com is a good place to start, but i think the site is down for "maintenance" currently. Read up guy. I am in the process of making a ae92 corolla (same engine) "go fast". I am currently piecing together a cheap turbo set up. These engines are by no fricking means boost friendly, but hay, how many na engines are? A smarter move on my part would have been to swap in a big port 4age 16v, 4agze forged pistons and rods and boost from there and have a much safer and better platform, but i am a cheap mofo. A low boost 4afe will perform just as well if not better as a silver top or black top 20v swapped corolla which only puts down about 125-135whp. So if you want my opinion fi is the way to go. Or you can always just run a small shot of nitrous like 50 or 65 shot, you can even build your homemade nitrous kit out of house hold stuff if you dont wanna spend 500 bucks for 50hp. www.nitrous.info . Which ever way you choose. Read up first before you buy anything.

Re: 1994 corolla 1.6l can it go fast?
 

Not as fast as a turbo 4A-FE. Trust me. I know. Then again, the turbo 4A-FE ate like 2-3 auto transmissions.

Just grab a smallish turbo and get a log manifold together. If your engine is relatively fresh, then they can take just under 15psi before you send a rod through the block. Given that the car is currently 13 years old at best, I would stay well under 10 unless you're going to rebuild.

This should get you going in the right direction. ;)































hehe just kidding

Re: 1994 corolla 1.6l can it go fast?
 

and even if you blow your 4afe, they are dirt cheap, as cheap as a d16. The only prob i see here is gettin the ecu chipped to run turbo edit or something. Anyone ever done it before? I wil pm xenon to find out if he can .

Re: 1994 corolla 1.6l can it go fast?
 

sweet ill probly end up boosting my corrola auto since there is so many spare engines at pick n pull .. ! oh any body know if wat mt tranny will fit the corrola motor 4afe? stock motor i think its the code for it corect me if im wrong..
anyways i will want to do a manule swap in it since someone said its gonna eat the tranny plust its a 3 speed and the turbos power add wont make a big enough diffrenc in acceleration if its gonna be a 3 spd cuz i have a dx hatch turbod adn the dx gearing suck ass so i would want short gearing on the rolla to make it go fast.. let me know wat you know about the tranny swap and interchanges thanks

Re: 1994 corolla 1.6l can it go fast?
 

I think all the "a" series engines came with interchangerable trannies, i.e t50 etc. My buddy has a jdm 16v engine and tranny in his garage so i am gonna be using that, i will chec the exact code later. What set up are you running on your turbo hatch ?

Re: 1994 corolla 1.6l can it go fast?
 

i have a eGAy drag nock off manifold fake tial wg and t3 t4 turbo .50/.63 ar ratios im just working out a deal on getting a ex tranny from a guy here on hmt... cant wait to get them (high ratio/tall) gears for FAST acceleration.. im drewling already i miss my old 95 ex it was fast wiht only 4 psi on a small egay t3 and log mani.. 4psi only cuz i bought a tial turbonetics wg used on ebay and some moron cut the spring and thats why it only had 4psi but it was fun enough that i never messed around to get a stiffer spring plus my fuel managment was a sds injector controller running 2 stock injectors glued into the charge pipe be for the TB yes they were screaming almsot wide open at wot high rpm..

well heres the rest of my set up
crome
p28
450cc+crx risistor box
mx-6 sidemount IC
home made dp and exhaust 2.25"(hangs too low looking for a ricer exhaust now dont wanna spend more than a 100)
home made charge pipes out of black abs plastic and some steel bend by the turbo cuz its too hot over there and a volvo bov on its origiannl 90* bend
volvo blue silicon boots baby.!
home depo black 2.5 in conectors (they are increadably storong they are braided inside with someting but the elbos arnt
tahts why one keeps on poping on me afer a few weeks..
double up worm clamps on the non bevled piping ends and holds 10 psi and 14 a few times no problems yet just one elbow keeps on poping...
oil feed via stock oil sensor choped and welded a AN-4 fitting to it and a ss bariaded line to a junction block that spices offf my oil psi guage and stock dummy light and then a adjustable valve to drop the oil flow to the turbo and runs the oil through a greas gun hose to the turbo rated at 3k psi! should be pleanty i think!
and 10 psi on a base map for now..

Re: 1994 corolla 1.6l can it go fast?
 

C50 and C52 are pretty common and cheap. C56s are less common, and the 6speeds only came with blacktop 4A-GEs. But yeah, eco_lucian has the right idea for transmissions. If it came out of a FWD Corolla with an A engine, it'll fit.

IIRC, nobody really does anything with the 4A-FE ecu. your best bet would probably be megasquirt.

Re: 1994 corolla 1.6l can it go fast?
 

Megasquirt or you can just use a fmu, a couple fish tank check valves and some bigger injectors, thats what im gonna be using until i finish school and i can afford megasquirt or any real fuel management. What kinda times did you run with your hatch turbo4life? How much power ? how did the abs plastic charge pipes hold up?

Re: 1994 corolla 1.6l can it go fast?
 

hell ya just double up the clamps on the ends of the strait pipes so it wont pop off and abs pipes are rated at some high psi depends on the diameter though... i dont remmber but its more thatn engouh for turbo boost levels in a gas engine... more taht engough..! well i m running crome on 450s now.. and 10 psi basem map still cant get my ---- to datalog wiht the nokia dku5 cable that has the signal converter built in. (if anyone can give me some tips...) befdroe on my old 95 ex i ran firs gay fule managment was a 1 injector glued into the charge pipe be fro the TB and a pressure switch to activait it but it was gay have to go light throttle till 3k then stomp it cuz it went too rich but then it leaned out on the toop end but i worked till teh ihi rhb5 took a ----.. it was a junk yard pice welded to a hf manifold. i weld i dont mess with adapter plates.. lol im lazy.. then the next managment was a sds controlling 2 stock injectos in the ppiping it was good cuz my wg spring was only 4 psi or so i bout a used delta gate off ebay and some prick put that small of a spring in there... oh and this turbo was a egay t3 42/48 small one... and a log mani of ebay and fmic.. also eGay... and i used steel pipes and u bend for charge piping.. not abs..

Re: 1994 corolla 1.6l can it go fast?
 

sweet i pickeed up a ex 5 speed tranny today for 150 and i got my ---- to connect to ecu but it wont let me send rom image to ecu the the guy that made the chip for me just burnt it off a chip burner and used a ostrich to make the basemap so im guessing he didnt enable quick dattaaloger+rpt so thats why im guessing it wont let me update the map but i can get rom image from ecu that part work... so lmk if you have any clues on why it wont let me send but i can get rom image from ecu.. tahnks

Re: 1994 corolla 1.6l can it go fast?
 

your car is 100% ghetto inside and out :o , and i mean that in a good way. do you have any more pics of the side exit ? the plastics didnt once melt...? cool, what size piping were you using?
:Sok lets get back on topic. lol

Re: 1994 corolla 1.6l can it go fast?
 

nope not once thats why you can see in the engine compartment pic i used a steel 2 in bend and a silicon coupler comming off the turbo cuz it get *HOT* there ( i figured out the first day that rubber elbos dont work there!lol!) and just keep the plastic awway from the exhaust and stuff... even thoug the lower intercooler piipe is palstic and it 2 inches awway fromthe dp and no problems ill have pic soon of that.. oh my plastic pipes when you go to home depot they are 2 in abs plastic pipes! the otsied diameter is almost 2.5in on pipes they go by inside diameter..
