I may have found it for you. http://www.corolland.com/forum...19189 Forum with a reply from Toyota that says you may be right. Thank you for contacting Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.We appreciate the opportunity to address your inquiry regarding your 2002 Toyota Corolla.Your vehicle has an interfe...

Everything that I've read over the years have called it non-interference. I can find lots of those on message boards like your reference but didn't think they proved anything. There's also motors on that list that use belts and are also not listed as interference. As a replacement, which is what the...

Valves definitely aren't strong rnough to bend a ...

goodvibe

I sure don't know how it happened but a noninterference motor shouldn't eat valves without float. Maybe the bent crank got a piston high enough but why did the crank get bent. Wierd failure. Glad you're rollin again.

Quote, originally posted by prathman Â»I was under the impression that the Corolla/Vibe/Matrix engines were interference type in which case it isn't that surprising.

Valves should be fine if the pulley slipping was the only problem. I believe that these are non-interference motors and the only way to bang the valves is by overrevving and making them float. The cam not spinning with the crank is not good as there's a chain connecting them. Maybe the pulley slippe...

Quote, originally posted by 21Rouge Â»Wouldn't this be so difficult to get this covered by warranty. Is this any different in the eyes of the dealer of trying to have an unusually worn (misused) clutch looked after by warranty? So, how's the change working? Which Amsoil were you using.

goodvibe

What fluid are you using(have used)? It's all about getting the right Visc. and friction with the synchros. you could be too slick. If you're changing that often, Synth has no added value other than maybe shifting better in extreme cold until warmed up. A fluid change could fix this, or at least imp...

goodvibe

Sounds like you're fine but you definetly should have changed it sooner. People only have problems from changing fluid late when they left the initial fluid in too long. The new fluid cleans out the sludge from seals etc. and you can get leaks or expoe problems with internal seals. Did you use type ...

I thought 04s had the air pump. That would create a CAI issue. Exhaust should be fine.

10w30 is fine where you're at.

goodvibe

It can be an issue on GTs but doesn't appear to be on a 1zz.

goodvibe

Torque is all you need but it applies to all RPM and the graph should go out to 8k as they do for the torque curves. Hp equals Torque x RPM divided by 5252. You can always calculate the HP from torque and is actually what dynos do.

goodvibe

He did fine by tuning for B. The difference in the 2 maps is only advance. There's only one shared fuel map so you can't really tune for both. Mao A is basically in case you have knock or timing retard. May come in handy if B is at the edge and you've got the air on with the car at near max load.

goodvibe

All the runs were with the Chip, correct? This is stock chip vs custom tune. Looks like Lift should hit much harder.

goodvibe

I'm sorry to rain on the pulley parade but it does more for revving when not in gear than anything else. The few ounces of rotational mass difference is negligible when you've got heavy tranny, diff, axles, CV, ,rotors, hubs, wheels and tires all being driven in parallel with the pulley. Under drive...

goodvibe

Throw our bearings can do that but it's a lot more likely to chirp, chirp, chirp. Usually more of problem when not in gear.

goodvibe

I read that BMW did some studies on fuel efficiency and driving style with a manual. Their recommendation was to get up to speed briskly as in use the pedal more than you'd expect in the highest appropriate gear. Shift into the top appropriate gear asap. I think they found that getting to high gear ...

goodvibe

When I had it, I thought map B was so worth it but Map A didn't do enough. Might as well get something cheaper if you don't want to use premium.

goodvibe

http://www.newcelica.org/forum...t=jet Not too good.

goodvibe

I tried it in the past and it starts out great but the shifting got worse before 10k mi. I'd look elsewhere for this app. Torco and the dealer fluid worked better. I've heard good things about Amsoil MTG. The tranny needs the right amount of friction for the synchros to work properly. Less isn't nec...

goodvibe

It would probably run cooler, with less power and more emissions. Octane is resistance to knock so that you can use higher compession or FA. It's actually less easy to combust so you may get a less complete burn and there's not more inherent energy there to begin with. No benefit of higher than 93.

goodvibe

goodvibe

You've gat a GT and it opens to let more air into the motor at higher RPM s. Closed allows for better throttle response and a bit more torque down low and open for more HP up high. I don't think it opens until you're closer to 4k to keep things quiter for normal driving.

goodvibe

Wow! I just looked at some of the stuff you've tried, Proton. If you've lost mileage, it's probably not the ecu. I'd look for a leak in the intake after the MAF or something that may not have been put back 100% from one of your tests. Hose from PVC or something like that.

goodvibe

I'd clean the MAF again. The drop ins can lose oil very easily after a cleaning. Real easy to over oil and their proximity can compound the issue.

goodvibe

Mods? If you've got an intake and/or exhaust, it could be running lean until the ECU adjusts. Better mileage but less performance for 100 miles or so. If not clean your MAF especially if you've gat an oiled filter. Other than that I don't have a clue.

goodvibe

Lowest RPM you can use without lugging the motor should be good.

goodvibe

This is probably a stupid question but did you clean the air filter? I'm sure you checked it but I had to ask with those dusty conditions.

goodvibe

The wear won't be linear any more. Once they're obviously slipping, they go fast because of added friction and heat. Just do it.

goodvibe

It's probably fine but I think synth is kind of waste. The fluid gets so dirty from pad wear etc. that changing it while a standard fluid is still in good shape is fine. Might be better, might not. As long as it meets spec, your fine.

goodvibe

It depends on how it's done. What you did is great but you only changed less than 1/2 the fluid. you should do that every 10k or so(maybe once more now if that fluid was old to get a good start on things) or 3 consecutive drain and fills with a drive in between every 20k if you beat on it. Check lev...

goodvibe

Change the oil after a few hundred miles. You don't know how long the motor's been sitting. The guy before you may have neglected oil changes on the original motor etc. It's hard to break em that early with an auto. I'd be more worried about the tranny with that type of use. Make sure that you chang...

Quote, originally posted by BlueCrush Â»Like they said, the AWD has a more restrictive exhaust so the HP/TQ to the Crank is rated at 7hp less.

goodvibe

I think that it's that they were concerned about the amount of power that the 4WD system could handle and a more restrictive exhaust.

goodvibe

Wear on those parts wont cause shifting problems with the clutch in. Your clutch wasn't fully releasing which is why I mentioned the brake fluid level. Throw out bearing may also have been shot. I'm sure you needed all that work done anyway so no biggy. Glad it's working.

Check your brake fluid. Low could stop the hydrolic clutch from fully releasing. Though it's unlikely, it wouldn't hurt to check.

goodvibe

The base and GT clutches are not the same and they seem to last longer in the lighter and effectively lower geared Celica.(smaller tires) I think the got caught out by the extra loat of the Vibe/Matrix and people trying to catch lift when shifting.

goodvibe

I honestly think the stock intake is clearly the best for a daily driver. All the after market intakes make less power below 3.5k rpm in a GT. You may get 10 hp more at redline but for what the car really needs, it's a poor trade off unless you race.

goodvibe

I'd stay with the thicker oil on a Turbo. It runs hotter and the oil is already going to be effectively thinner than in a stock vehicle. I'd probably keep a 30w for a 2zz also if you use the revs. The 20 weight gains most of its mileage during warm up which takes a lot longer than the coolant to get...

It probably wasn't the filter but something else you cleaned if it ran that bad. Take Bluecrush's advice. Maybe that performance mod will actually become just that.
