74 SR5 turbo corolla

Post by rastamang »

i've had my corolla since 1998. It was a webber carbed Rajay turbo with water to air IC and an MSD with boost retard...I quickly blew the stock bottom end. Then decided to do the engine right.
2tc block 3tc crank, Pauter Machine rods, Wiseco 87mm pistons, ARP bolts and studs all over, head ported polished and port matched to intake and exhaust manifolds,aluminum rocker spacers, duel valve springs, s.s. valves, 5 angle valve job, Cometic head gasket,Paradise racing fuel injection manifold with 725cc Injector Dynamics injectors, Toyspeed Motorsports turbo exhaust manifold, Turbonetics t3/t4
ceramic ball bearing turbo, Spearco IC, Tial BOV, Tial 38mm waste gate, GMC truck coils d585 self igniting,modified my dizzy to be a cam sensor by using the pick up and by cutting off 3 of the 4 teeth,
all controlled by a Haltech Platinum Sport 1000. Since the motor was so "built" i decided to beef up the rest of the little Corolla starting with the drivetrain: W55 5spd gearbox from a 2tgte so the bell housing bolted right up, 6 puck prung HD clutch and pressure plate, aluminum flywheel, HD driveshaft with greaseable HD u-joints, AE86 reared narrowed to fit right and stuffed with Weir 30mm axles and a Kazz 2 way LSD,vented discs, T3 panhard bar with structural reinforcement, up front are AE86 T3 coilovers,adj lower control arms,negative camber roll center adjusters,steering knuckles and inner and outer tie rod ends for a manual rack and pinion conversion which made room for a 3 inch s.s. exhaust. Then there's the fuel system: ATL "well cell"12 gallon fuel cell set up to the original fuel filler, bosch 044 300 lph fuel pump, Fuelab fuel filters and regulator. The interior got some treatment to, new Speedhut gauges carefully integrated into the original sr5 dash and center console,old school TRD racing buckets, internal subframe connectors, 4 point roll cage, new carpet kit, rear seat delete, new window rubber all around. I spent a lot of time and money to get it to this point but its been since 1998, still need to get it tuned.

There has been a lot of careful thought, study and research into every part of my build. I'll post pics as soon as i figure out how.

fits in the spare tire well, no cutting required, plus it has surge tank inside the fuel cell for maximum cornering, braking and accelerating!

Great work! I hope to see this thing in person at some of the local meets.
