Hi,
I own a 1990 Corolla SX with a 16 valve small port 4age engine and to me it feels abit sluggish. Although this is my first car it doesn't go as quick as some people have told me. Are they supposed to be quick as a swift GTi?
It is stock as a rock and has currently just click over to 270,000km but there are no problems with the engine, it runs fine it just doesn’t feel like a 100kw to me especially when I have more then 2 people in the car.
Does it sound like that my compression is gone down?
Is it due for a rebuild?
Should I just change the piston rings, seals and head gasket?
Or should I just be happy with what I got?
What is the ¼ mile time and 0-100 seconds on the AE92 Corolla SX?
Any response will be most appreciated
0-100 in about 8 seconds to 9 seconds
1/4mile 16/17seconds @ 140KMPH
The 100KW is really smooth, it feels slower then the AE82 but they are pretty much neck and neck on a straight drag with the SX a nose infront.
Grab yourself a compression tester and check the results. These engines are only 1.6L so dont expect soo much power. Its all about the conditions and drivers skills
