dun think it will make it over here....

how to fight with Civic which is NA???this corolla sure win mah...

maybe the CTR EP3 can fight....

some more its VVTL-i engine leh...not the normal vvti engine...

but i doubt it can win the Golf GTi....or do u mean Swift Gti????

[Duckduck]

0-100km in 8 over secs, if got good driver can fight golf gti lah. Yah im tokin abt civic type R,ek9 or ep3 osos..

 

actually the ES civic vtis on paper 0-100kmh is 8.7secs.. same ah.. hehehe

[Turbonetics]

EK9 also no fight lah....only 185bhp...

vti-s is 8.7 but this corolla is 6.9 mah...where got same?

if GTi and Corolla same skill driver,the GTi will still win...

[Roadrunner]

With a top speed of 230 km/h u can say bye2 2 civic vti-s

[Duckduck]

toyota too slow 2 respond 2 honda's ep3r man. civic typeR sold like crazy in the UK, now then toyota respond.. too late liao. So if new civic typeR is out later next year, will toyota respond too? Will b fun if they do

[Turbonetics]

i dun think the UK have lotsa CTR EP3 cos these r meant for JDM...

unless afew of them import....

theirs is known as Civic Si or Type S with 197bhp not 215bhp(CTR)....

[Turbonetics]

afterall i think still a different class....NA and FI...

but the corolla being a FI car,it will be more moddable...

some more they can own a few cars if they want...lol...so cheap...

See this link for a large number of typeR owners in UK. http://www.civictype-r.co.uk/reg.htm

 

Also see this link for Uk typeR production info http://www.japanesecarfans.com/news.cfm/ne...05/honda/1.html

Supercharged 1.8-litre VVTL-i engine develops 215bhp (217 DIN hp) and 215Nm of torque

 

 

current altis 1.8 - 1zzfe engine. You should be able to supercharge SG Altis 1.8 legally as this is offered in US too. Similar to local LTA approved on Celica and IS200 TRD supercharged.

The con of supercharging the engine is that it adds lots of weight to it. could be as much as 50kg. I saw TRD selling the off the shelf charger for the 1.8 VVti engine.

 

However I hope toyota will go back to the old days of develop 20v or 24v engines like the 1.6l 4AGE...much ligher compared too supercharging...20v 4AGE is rated at 140bhp while the 24v is rated at 170bhp.....for a 1.6l that is huge!!

[B1ackie]

the trd supercharger is for 1.8 engine aka 1zzfe only. The gain, imo, is not something to cry out loud.

 

 

But do look out for possible boxer engine in toyota in late 2007/ early 2008 (maybe). Subaru USA is designing for Toyota USA a new car. Since Toyota has take up share in subaru recently.

did LTA approved the supercharged of IS200 and Celica???

btw,i think the 1.8 Altis engine is not VVTL-i...

same goes for the Celica SS1...

maybe they approved is the Celica SS2 VVTL-i engine model...

Lexus are using VVTL-i engine...

[Turbonetics]

did TRD make suoercharger for Altis???

i thought is by Blitz???
