Revving Legacy: Goleby's 1JZ-Powered KE36 Corolla

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

1000cc injectors

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.
