1992 Toyota Paseo J-Spec from North America - Comments

1st Sep 2002, 20:12

"Stick with a J-Spec if, you can afford to have one imported all the way from Japan."

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing whatsoever has gone wrong with the car yet. The dealer was so picky about me getting the car in perfect shape, they ended up spending about $2000 just on the safety which, was all covered under the warranty I bought with the car.

General comments?

After $4000 I put into the engine, it makes around 330 hp which is very, very quick for a 2100 lb car.

I have a 92 Paseo also. I love it, but it lacks in power. Do you have any info on where I could get a J-Spec inline 1.5? Please contact me at asc111@yahoo.com

Thanks.

Hi - I'm getting a 96 Paseo, but I know its slow. 5 spd. and everything. Hit me up on AIM - PearlDrummer1988, Tell me about your mods. I need to at least get 120 + HP out of it to make it pick up 0-60 in like 9 seconds. Thanks, or email me at polarbear288@cs.com.

Hey my name is Gino, I am very curious on how you squeezed that much horsepower out of that little car. I have a 92 Paseo and I tried to put performance parts into my car, but no one has any parts available for my car. Please help me find a good source on parts, and how you have all that power on your paseo. My AIM screen name is sk8ta4lif3 and my email is sk8ta4lif3@hotmail.com.

The first guy probably did a jdm swap which is the turbo version of the 5efe. its pretty cheap to get and has 130 hp stock, he probably built up the motor though.

This guy must of went with a 20valve Black top corolla engine and turbo charged it to make 330 hp.

A stock Black top engine is rated at 170 hp.

Hey I have a 92 Paseo How did you get 330hp and I'm not very well off so I was wondering if anyone knows some simple ways to add hp?

Man a paseo with over 300 hp scary to handle I bet but it may be fun to smoke the front tires off.
