Has anyone heard of a toyota levin?

[Franko]

I have a friend who swapped out the engine in his early 90's corolla and put in a supercharged toyota levin engine.
He claims that the engine makes 185 hp and 202 ft/lb torque.. I am inclined not to believe this. I looked up all the specs I could find on it and all I could see is that the only toyota levin engine that is supercharged is a 1.6l making 170 hp and 145 ft/lbs torque.. I had to convert the torque from newtons to ft/lbs.. before it was 202nm or something. Anyway, I think he is full of crap.. someone said that they would go get a gtech pro and measure his quarter mile time but he didnt want to do it, he just kinda changed the subject. I will not accept going to the track and getting bet by a 4 door corolla. If his numbers are what he says they are it looks like I am going to 14 psi next year. :p

he's wrong.

Heh, I got a friend kinda like that, and he drives a corolla too. He doesn't lie about his corolla, but his 240SX instead (he doesn't even have one yet). Says he's gonna drop a domestic small block in that little Nissan. Full o' crap. I told him to look into the GTR engine, but he's like, "Nah, I've been thinking about the Skyline engine you were talking about...if I don't go with the Chevy engine instead."
wtf?? I tried so hard not to laugh in his face

[mitmaks]

does he have super charger on it? if he does thats how much hp/tq id produces, also called toyota "hochiroku" (sp) great drifting car

He is going to walk you. Those corollas weigh nothing and are RWD. Even with the 178hp and 148ft/lbs of torque he will be quick. Goodluck and let us know how the race turns out.

Hes only got the fwd though... I am gonna get him to weigh his car and see what comes up.. It will be intresting..

early 90's corolla are FWD. 88 was the last year of the RWD corolla, I think. The levin is like the sohc to the trueno dohc, ae85 and ae86, respectively. The ae86 is the toyota trueno, in america it was a corolla GTX. Yes that engine has punch, but not what he's saying. Whoop him down any chance you get!

a lil confusion here, early corolla levins (pre 87) were RWD, since then levin/truenos have all been FWD, i don't know what the difference between a levin and a trueno is, but early 90's MR2's and Levin/Truenos came with the 4AGZE supercharged engine, which is a bolt on replacement for standard 4AGE-engined Corollas, hopefully this helps, i'm certainly no expert on corollas though!
185bhp sounds a lil high though, maybe 170-175

A friend of mine got a 85 (I think) and it has about 190bhp.
Oh, and Levin/Trueno is the car that Takumi runs in Initial D.

I`ll find some clips of it
