Mine is the 1ZZ-FE engine, 140bhp.
Holy christ, are you serious, I could potentially get 350-400bhp out of it??? I'm assuming that's maximum turbo efficiency? I was actually going to grab the TRD supercharger for my model off ebay a year ago (used, of course) as they are so rare, I lost out on it. I figure though that grabbing a brand new bolt-on turbo kit is probably a better idea if I want to boost my engine. This is what I had in mind:

Scroll down to 'Turbo Kit for 03 - 08 Corolla S 1ZZ-FE', the $2695 one.

Adding a supercharger or turbo is great stuff. You will love it if you do it!

Did I miss something? What kind of car are we talking here?

I run my Ford Taurus 15,000+ Mobil 1 syn. You are wasting money if you change your oil at 5k and use Synthetic. (non-performance car) If you do that just use regular oil. As far as turbo's for your car....You can't turn a hooker into a housewife. Meaning your car is not built (designed) for a turbo and would be a waste of money in part's.
If you want a turbo car buy a Toyota Supra. They have built bottom ends and can handle 900+ horsepower.

It's been like a 8 year project so I'd imagine nudging 50k or more as it has had a lot of body changes over the years.
Exactly, look at all the high porsche turbos out there, I'm sure a good chunk of the owners out there will buy them and not even know what the turbo is or how it works only that the car is fast etc.
Yeh, the car has been changed body wise quite a few times, this is the nicest of them all.
I wouldn't nessecarily agree with what you said above re adding a forced induction to an N/A car. The B series Honda engines and even now the K series engines are known for taking bigish boost without having any major work done only really fueling and cooling mods. The car above is nudging on the 340bhp which is 200 up on standard and using only a smallish amount of boost also.

Or you boost a LSx and push damn near 1k(not stock though).
I blown up more cars than most people have owned. There is just so much available now for just about any car. When I started building cars, we used to make out own exhaust turbo manifolds. Now, shit buy which ever one you like.
Anything is doable now. I see Hondas all day that keep up with my z28, back in the day that would just not happen.
The only real gripe I have is why do all this to a FWD car? It's just not the same kind of fun.

I suppose it is different courses for different horses. I know what you mean, you can get any power out of any engine really, look at the ECV by Lancia, a Super and Turbo charged 1.8 engine with a crazy head set up with to inlet manifolds on it and it makes in and around the region of 700-800bhp in a tiny engine dating back to the late 80's

I built my integral up. Didn't keep stock engine, had a Laskey Racing longblock dropped in and boosted it. Was making over 500whp on e85. That thing rode the f*** out. Drive a stock e46 m3 now. Id like to turbo it once I pay it off and get another daily driver

To be fair when modding the Yanks are up there with the best in extracting a lot of power out of engines that were never intended to be turbo, such as Gallardos, 430's. I drove a Z06 Vette over here and it would wipe the floor with my buddies GTR Skyline in a straight line and keep it decent round bends also.
It's just their run of the mill stuff that has feck all power.
