1994 Corolla Twin-Charged 4AGZE
Brandon has been working on his '94 Corolla for several years
now. He started a 4AGZE swap about a year and 1/2 before meeting me.
His car sat in a shop for quite some time while they tried and were
unable to get it running. After bringing the car to Phoenix Tuning, we
got his car up and running in a few days. First, we have a couple
pictures of the swap right after initial completion. The 4AGZE is a 1.6
liter supercharged engine that makes 170hp in stock form. Then, about a
year
later, he decided to have the engine twin-charged: stock supercharger
AND a turbo! 4AGZE swap up and running: The turbo was so large that it wouldn't fit
between the manifold and the radiator support. I built a
stainless-steel up-pipe to move the turbo over towards the
transmission. The TIAL wastegate was also added into the up-pipe.
You'll notice the transmission is missing. We're also swapping in the
E58 transmission which comes with a stock limited slip differential.
A large drain is ran from the turbo to the
oil pan. A stainless tig-welded downpipe is built,
and the inlet and outlet of the radiator is altered for better fitment.
Due to reduced space, a high-powered fan is
installed in front of the radiator and condenser core. This is a
3000cfm fan (not a typo).
A massive high-density Garrett core
intercooler guarantees that the twin-charged air will remain within
acceptable temperature levels:

There it is! A few finishing touches need
to be made but it's up and running, and does the boost ever come on
quickly!
