Hey guys, I got a '09 Corolla Xrs, same motor as a tC1. Not too many people with this on my Forum, so I thought I'd post here for feedback, tips, etc.

Some pictures of my ride:





I was running bolt-ons for about a year, a local was parting out his turbo setup in his Corolla so I jumped on it. Got the package for a great deal.

-Aem fic pnp harness from a 08-10 scion xb
-Precision 57 trim turbo

Wanted to see what numbers I have before I boost.

Running Weapon-R 4-2-1 Header for the tC1, Injen CAI, and a N1 Axleback.

JMS Racing known tuning shop in SA.

DynoJet


Gettin' her strapped down :D



Results? - 166whp & 164tq

Mods - WeaponR 4-2-1 Header, Injen CAI, & Custom N1 Axleback


Oh and here's the chart



ATI tC Gauge Pod





Here's the trim for it, fake CF look. Will probably painting this silver to match the trim.


Fitment isn't too bad, they said they'll try and heat it and go with the contours of the dash. Pretty descent since its for a tC.



And it begins


And the Latest Pics I received!

 

Nice! Looking forward to seeing what kind of #'s you put out. How much boost you running?

 

Confusing because that is not a Garrett turbo it's a precision turbo. there is a difference.

 

Nice jms is awesome! Good people!
U local to sa then?

 

Marcial's old kit again....lol

Iv installed that kit more times than I can count

 

Plan on running 6-8 for the mean time. But I know I'll probably want to up boost later on

Ah, yes its a precision. My bad.

Yes! I'm actually 2 minutes away from JMS lol.

Are you in SA as well?

Whaaat? How many times has this kit been installed? I just bought it from a guy from Houston that had it in his Corolla.

 

Been a minute since I've seen that kit...

 

your the 4th owner of the manifold but the third owner of all the rest of the parts except for the batt tie down (thats if you got that part with the kit). The batt tie down I made myself.
Marcial paid for a v2.1kit from TurboToyotas but he got stiffed on the manifold, turbo, and injectors. Turbotoyotas soon went under. So Marcial bought a used version one Turbotoyotas manifold, turbo, and injectors from a member on here. After a few years he sold the kit to Junius. and now you have it.

Turbochargers.com did the install on Marcials car then I took it off his car to fix a few leaks they left behind and reinstalled. Marcial got his engine built and I had to uninstall and reinstall the kit. I replaced his head gasket so of course the turbo kit had to come off yet again and reinstalled. After a while he wanted to sell the kit so I ended up taking it back of. He sold the kit to junius and he came to me to install the kit and for some slight fab work.

here is a few pics of the kit when I installed it. (ps that mani looks sexy polished)

Junius car

 

olahalo from vegas the orig owner haha! curious how good they can do on the 2az.. theyre mostly evo, Zs, supras.. my buddy just got his built evo8 assembled and tuned by them, Jorge is an awesome guy.

 

^^^^

Ah nice, well they tuned a tC, I believe it was pushing ~250 with the setup the guy had, but I don't really remember. I'll try and look for it on their FB page.

 

Hehe just found it, if you go on FB and look up JMS Racing, its under places. Check out their 'JMS Customers' album and it'll be in the 4th row.

They got it to 275whp on 8psi and 93 octane

 

That's about what Junius made

 

Good, wonderin' how I'm gonna do against my buddy's speed3 2ndGen.

Looking forward to that lol

 

sweet setup. look forward on seeing some numbers

 

Looks like they got the gauge pod to fit a lot better

Before:



After:

 

way better. i was thinking of saying something about the fitment but didnt want to be a dick.

 

What are they going to do about the batt? Or are they going to fab up a new turbo intake pipe?

 

Haha no prob. I knew it wasn't gonna fit right at first, but they said they heated it and shaped it.

I believe they're gonna relocate it similar to Junius' setup, but not so sure yet.

 

Still working on fitment for the gauge pod

 

Looking good, nice setup!
