I get the distinct feeling it's missing something...

Oh I know, a turbo to fill up all that extra space going to waste

spray it down with simple green, spray it off with high pressure water, then put a hefty amount of armor all on it. other than that looks good, but you definately need to fill it up with some boost

yeah thats what i hear too... the mr2 has the same engine, and ive seen upwards of 12-14 psi on it...crazy considering its like a 10.5:1 compression 13 psi puts it at about 253 to the wheels if im not too badly mistaken 253 hp=hella fast corolla

yea...i was joking around about putting a turbo on my girlfriends corolla @ a local speedshop, and they said there was a tercel (step down engine-wise) that they have seen running like 12lbs boost and beating lexus gs400's on the street. that's rediculous.

there is only 2 swaps i would consider and i dont know if i could do one. i would swap a 2zz-ge from the celica or call up el prototypes and get them to do the 3s-gte swap. ive all ready priced the swap...i just need 6700 dollars. not too shabby for 500+hp
