Goleby's Parts purchased this Ke36 Panelvan back in around 2012 with the intention of using it as a parts delivery Van for the business, The car was purchased for $500 running and driving with a 5k engine and 5 speed gearbox.
First Build,
The first build of our corolla was a turbocharged 4k engine, the engine internals were all standard except for a set of upgraded Valve springs and using a single Ct12A turbocharger blowing through a 32/36 weber carburetor we made 160rwhp. This build then upgraded to Efi with the help of a Microtech ecu, custom intake manifold and injector setup with the end result being 180rwhp with e85 and 24psi of boost. At this stage we had a Trimatic auto gearbox and standard diff still fitted and managed a best 1/4 mile of 13.8 seconds (logged via the GPS Microtech dash).
Around 5000kms driven on this setup.
Second Build,
One Friday afternoon we thought about the great idea of building a reliable 10 second daily whilst not breaking the bank, so we set ourselves a budget of around $10k to see what we could achieve. Out came the grinder and the stock internal 1JZ engine was mounted in the engine bay by the end of the weekend.
The basic run down of this setup was as follows,
Standard internal 1JZGTE non Vvti engine
Precision 5858 Journal bearing turbo
Turbosmart 45mm wastegate
Custom 2-1 exhaust manifold
Microtech lt15c ecu
Bosch 044 Fuel pump
Standard A340 gearbox with upgraded valve body and convertor
PWR trans cooler
Stock RN10 hilux diff with hilux LSD
Stock Xt130 corona front struts and brakes
450 x 300 x 76 mm intercooler
3" exhaust
All this turned into 500RWHP at 33psi and 10.3 Quarter mile times, and continued this way for a year or so. Around 10000kms travelled on this setup.
Third Build,
This is where we got more serious and added some HP with the following parts,
282 Camtech Cams
Supertech valve springs and retainers
Built A340 gearbox
Plazmaman 600x300x76 intercooler
Haltech PS2000
Precision 6870 Turbocharger
Twin 044 Bosch fuel pumps
Bosch 1600cc injectors
Plazmaman intake manifold
Goleby's Parts Yaris coil kit
With these upgrades power jumped to 730RWHP and got us into 8 seconds over the 1/4 mile at 154mph. Around 20000kms travelled on this setup.
After this is when the final and current build took place with a more detailed list below,
Precision 7275 Turbocharger
Plazmaman 1JZ-GTE Black Billet Intake Manifold
GRT (Gilroy's Race Transmissions) Built A340
Haltech Elite 2500T + Custom Terminated Harness
Bosch Motorsport Australia 1650cc Injectors
Toyota 1JZ-GTE VVT-I
14" Toyota Corona steel rims,
2 x Velo Bucket Seats
Currently around 10000kms Travelled on this setup (2022)
