How To Turbo Charge An Automatic 2006 Toyota Corolla

2006 Corolla Supercharger?

If I remember correctly, that should be the same 1.8l that is in the 2000 to 2005 celica GT. There are many kits for that car, but since they are different under-hood configurations, a kit made for a celica is not a direct swap into a corolla. i.e. you will need to custom fit whatever you buy, but finding a kit made for the right engine will be a great start.

Depending on where you live, you might be able to do an engine swap. Even though it would be an older engine (which wouldnt fly in California) dropping a 1.8l VVTLI engine would be a pretty decent power boost and might be a better platform to start enhancing from there. In fact, there are corollas from 2005 and 2006 (model trim is XRS) which had the Celica VVTLI engines from the factory. The only issue you would run into is if your car is an automatic, as the VVTLI came with a 6 speed manual. A supercharged 1.8l VVTi can push around 190hp when properly tuned. A stock 1.8l VVTLI from a celica is rated at 180hp, and then a supercharger on that will bump it up to around 270hp or more.

What it comes down to is $$$. How much do you want to spend, and how quick do you wanna be? The easiest and cheapest bang for your buck is the VVTLI swap. This will require the least amount tuning and will provide the best reliability.

those 4 cylinders dont accelerate great and usually run flat around 100 over a long period of acceleration you might get it to 115 but it could burn out the cylinder rings which they are known to do. but even though it is not the fastest. i think it is one of the best cars to drift with if you adjust it right

Need a reliable battery for Toyota Corolla. CCA?

When you had your battery problem did you check the alternator output? Toyota's are famous for sliding in alternators that grossly overcharge any brand battery. They charge so high costumers constantly have to add water. Which battery did you buy? A one, two or three year full warranty? How many cold cranking amps did your two failed batteries have? Do you live in all hot weather or a combination of hot and sub 0 temperatures.

The way to select a good battery is the cold cranking amps at 0 degrees, not 32.

Give me a Walmart yellow colored Maxx Battery any-day which is made by the Deka Company in Lyon Station Pa. over an Already Died battery from Sears made in Mexico. Check with Consumers Reports how they compare! Most OEM batteries in Toyota's are made by Thompson Controls who makes Auto Zone and Interstate batteries.

Is the starter on my Corolla bad?

Here's the deal about testing your battery. #1. The dash lights and radio requires very little amperage from the battery. #2. The Starter on the other-hand uses more battery amperage than any other electrical circuit on the car. #3. Even a fully charged battery might not start a car. #4. Test your battery with an inexpensive volt meter by touching the battery terminals. Now ask someone to try to start the car. If the voltage drops back to zero as it is being started the battery should be replaced. #5. Charge the battery with an automatic self leveling battery charger from Sears or any auto parts store @ 2 amps till the green charger light comes on. If the car refuses to start take the battery to an auto parts store, Walmart automotive center or your Toyota dealer and ask them to do a *load test. You will instantly see what the reserve amperage capacity is in the battery.

To cut a long story very short, batteries that are installed in new cars do not have as much cold cranking power at zero degrees as your better replacement batteries. The AC-Delco Professional Battery has the longest free replacement warranty.

It's not at all unusual for a five year old battery that came in the car to bite the dust. Another quick home battery test is by turning the head-lights on high beam and watch them as someone else tries to start the car. If the headlights go out or get very dim, the battery is shot!

Is Chevron ATF MD-3 compatable to Toyota ATF T-IV?

Toyota only permits the usage of their OEM transmission fluids. In this case it is Toyota Type T-IV.

That being said The Vibe is the same as the Matrix. They share MANY similar parts, systems, components etc. Right down to the oil filter specifications.

HOWEVER, you are under warranty. If you go by fluid specifications and find a compatibility where there exists some you will void your warranty as far as Toyota is concerned. Toyota Type T-IV is more expensive but not horrendously so.

Some people say you can use a multipurpose additive such as Platinum, but this additive has been linked to some issues with specific individual vehicle applications within certain import models. Some Honda's can use it; some Toyota etc, but others cannot. It's not worth the risk. Stick to the OEM when the manufacture specifies you have no options even if they are being less than truthful your warranty is worth protecting.

Note: Any quick-lube, auto shop, mechanic worth anything will stock Toyota Type T-IV in sufficient volume, and not charge Synthetic prices, only OEM prices.
