Toyota originally built this 1981 Corona XT130 with a 1.9 L Holden 1X inline-four however the current owner @luke_no_names_left<\/a> had other plans. The engine bay now holds a turbocharged 1JZ inline-six built by Goleby’s Parts<\/a> in Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia. The engine produces 702 horsepower on E85 fuel thanks to 282 camshafts, 6Boost exhaust manifold, Plazmaman intercooler, Precision 6766 turbocharger, and just enough nitrous to help with boost. A Powerglide two-speed automatic transmission sends power through a custom chromoly driveshaft with a Sonax yoke to a Toyota Hilux differential. The suspension features an adjustable 4-link rear with Hilux 4-piston front brakes and Wilwood 4-piston rear brakes. <\/p>\n
