2001 Corolla Turbo Part 2 - Custom Turbo
System!
Ready for part 2 yet? Jerry brought his Corolla back to use a
few months after finishing his auto/manual conversion, mandrel-bent
exhaust, and custom cold air intake, among other things. Now it's time
to break out the big guns! A top-quality custom turbo system is in the
works and you get front-row seats! The custom turbo manifold and custom
downpipe are built out of stainless steel using the best possible
quality tig welding. Credit goes to "AngryMike" Mike Young of AlphaTuning. Mike is an expert
fabricator that worked with me under SCC for a while. The turbo I chose
is the GT2860RS, for it's great efficiency, fast spool, and perfect
sizing for this size engine and our power goals. A V-Band connection attaches the downpipe
to the rest of the exhaust. Custom tig-welded aluminum intercooler
piping and intake:
SCC put a full system in the car while it
was getting the turbo system done: And here's the dyno sheet! If you remember,
after phase 1 we made 109whp in 4th gear. Now after the turbo system,
we made 222whp in 4th gear, more than DOUBLE the power output! This was
running 10psi. Jerry later told me that he bought it to another tuner
who increased the boost to 12psi, retuned it, and made 250whp!
