Gurkha 1 Report post Posted October 21, 2007 Corolla engine is not designed for any kind of supercharging or turbocharging, all these need an engine with enough wall strength which the Corolla engine was not designed with. On top of that, you need special mods like pistons, oil pump, enhanced cooling systems, valves etc as well as fully revised fuel system to accommodate a turbo.

Gurkha 1 Report post Posted November 14, 2007 Except for turbo charging which is verboten on Honda engine, you can basically do anything, point being Honda makes one of the closest tolerance mass production engine to start with, it needs careful and thoughtful tuning, the ports are quite well polished to start with, the internals are light. The best place to acquire exotic parts is from factory or Mugen or HKS. I have a mix of Mugen and HKS on my Accord, my 95 Accord was tested at 278bhp on dyno. Whatever you do, don't murder the sweet Honda engine with the dust factory K&N. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

S'okay for racing, but don't expect stock airbox service intervals. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Charlesp 0 Report post Posted December 19, 2007 Has anyone put ceramic brakes and modified headers. Ceramic brakes work horribly in day-to-day driving; they don't work well until up to operating temperature, and squeak horribly until they do. Be interesting to see the effect on ride quality, though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
