Post #53 page 3.....*****Updated with VIDS since it was a request among many********


Just joined the forum, already introduced myself, so i thought i would just show yal my wifes car....2006 Cobalt 2.2l couple....


Basically came on here to find some useful tips on taking car of the car, and to find some aftermarket support, looking for the following...

Lowering springs
CAI
Muffler options
Tails

Here is my car, 2007 Toyota corolla 1zz Turbo....

 

wow thats a 1st and I work for toyota.... Clean install from what I can see....welcome

 

damn that is a clean yoda, nice Cobalt too!

 

welcome, nice car man.

 

welcome! Not much into toyotas but that is one of the first corollas that i can say that i liked. Good lookin cars dude.

 

Is it just me or does it seem like there is not enough piping to be a turbo setup.. Looks like one of the CAI's that look like an intercooler..

Can we get a better pic of the engine bay?

 

WHAT??? You can see the FMIC, a pic of my turbo, my full 3"exhaust system what more do you need? lol

Not trying to be mean, but its no fake.

 

1st pic is really shtity.

3rd pic i have a hard time making out the FMIC

the silver piping coming from what appears to be your intake mani does look like a KN cold air intake.

i dunno..im not saying its fake..but it doesnt really seem turbo-ish

nice looking car tho! any vids?

 

Ya, vids, pics you name it, im on my work comp at the moment, have to wait till i get home to get my photobucket up.

 

sweet, looking forward to them.

 

Nice car,

But your intercooler sticks out of the bottom of the front fascia. You should have done proper research to get the right sized intercooler. Just looks tacky IMO.

Oh and I'm referring to the 4th picture in the parking structure.

 

Nice Cars.

 

Not too much a fan of toyotas. But its an ok corolla but nice cobalt!

 

Ever take the Corolla to the strip?

 

I wasnt trying to call bullshit on you.. I was just going on the pic of the engine bay where you can only see it coming out of the throttle body and no more charge piping that you can see.

Im not saying its a fake.. I was just wanting better pics of the engine bay. Turbo corolla is def a sleeper cause I dont think that I have ever seen a corolla that year model that is turbo'd

 

Are you guys serious? wtf do you mean not enough piping for a turbo setup? Nice car, very original.

 

Nice Corolla

x2

 

Sweet another Amethyst balt!

 

Thats different. nice man!

 

jonny did you ever fix your tuning issue?

 

there is only one pipe that you can see in the bay pic.. turbo setups have more than just one pipe running from the intake into the wheel well

 

Since when?



That's only the intake piping. The hot side piping is on the other side of the block along with the exhaust manifold, turbo and the rest of the exhaust, just like hahn's lsj turbo. The intercooler piping likely goes under the block or around the side.

 

Touche my friend..

I have never seen a setup that didnt show at least two pipes so thats my bad.. I wasnt trying to call bullshit on him like i said earlier.. I was just going off what I have seen before

 

welcome and nice car bro, thats the second turbo'd corolla ive ever seen, real sharp

 

A girl around here has a G5 GT in that purple color. It actually looks pretty good.
