Was there ever an OEM Corolla FXGT with a supercharger?

[Mr Revhead]

The way I recall the wording, the latter as the power increase rule refers to modifications of the stock engine.

[Santa'sBoostinSleigh]

So does it need certing because of the upgrade in power, or simply because the engine type is different?

both, and in addition because you have changed to FI rather than NA

[ALES_AE111]

As above, I think the wording is along the lines of
Any modification or combination of modifications that will cause power to increase more than 20% requries certification. Any change in induction type will also require certification.

LVV not required if

Substitution of engines
when compared with the OE engine, the replacement engine:•
– is of the same or less cubic capacity, and
– has equal or less weight, and
– has the same or less power output, and
– uses the same fuel (petrol, diesel, LPG, CNG), and
– uses the same unmodified attachment points and system (ie bolts-in), and
– uses the same ancillary equipment (accelerator linkages etc), and
– uses the same family of block and cylinder head from the same vehicle manufacturer, and
– is of the same configuration.

or

Minor modifications to OE engine
the modifications result in not more than 20% more power than the OE engine, which • may include the fitting of:
– extractor or free-flow exhaust manifolds, or big bore exhaust systems
– changed intake manifolds
– changed or multiple carburettors
– modified fuel injection systems
– changed ignition systems
– alternative cold air box induction systems.
(See • Note 2).

Note 2 LVV certification is always required for the fitting of a supercharger or turbocharger as a modification, or the upgrading of a supercharger, turbo or wastegate, or the re-chipping of electronic engine control units on turbo cars.

It is odd that they allow for changing carburettors (or fitting multiple) while not allowing re-chipping changing ECU. As if these rules were set by muscle car owners...

[Mr Revhead]

Probably because you can't get 20% more power from changing carbs but you can from chips/ecu's

The chipping only applies to Turbo ECU's.

they ARE set by muscle car owners.

i was under the impression that the GTV was the "JDM" version, the FXGT was the NZ import and the GT the NZ new?

[1I1]

Nah GTi is the NZ new version

[escortman]

yeh my gtv had elec windows, mirrors and sunroof and a/c

[Sick Puppy]

Nah GTi is the NZ new version

And the GTi-16 is the UK version - I did lol at the listing in Identicar about some of them having dual exhausts...

[Prymal]

My FX GT limited has all the fruit as well ..

[FXGTV]

My GTV had a/c but no power windows. I think its the pov spec model of the FXGT's haha.
