I have to admit I’ve never really been a huge fan of the trusty wagon and thought there was no point in owning one unless you had family and a mutt to cart around. But this little demon has changed all that.Boyd Whittaker’s 2001 Corolla Z-Aerotourer is hardly what you’d fill with kids and the family tent, though, and you sure as hell wouldn’t load it up with courier boxes. Think more along the lines of a full-on import weapon with a solid 166kW at the front treads and a respectable 1:15 lap time at Pukekohe in full street trim. Impressive figures from what started out as a standard 1800cc twin cam 2ZZ-GE mill, as found in the Celicas of a few years ago. Okay, so some pretty serious work has gone on under the hood to get around 200 flywheel kilowatts, but what’s even more impressive is that the work doesn’t just stop at the engine. It’s what’s under the skin that counts and not a dime has been spared at any stage during this quality build.Pop the hood and you’ll notice two things straight away: where the majority of the new-found horses have come from, and the fact that it’s like a rolling Blitz showroom under there. For starters, a nice, fat, shiny supercharger kit fed by custom polished pipework is what provides that extra motivation from the 2ZZ engine and, with the whole package finished off with blue silicone joiners, it’s a sight for sore eyes. Take a nosey further up front and you’ll also spy a chunky Blitz front-mount intercooler with even more custom pipework, which then weaves its way back to the polished Blitz intake manifold. All pretty trick equipment, right?ВP True, but it doesn’t stop there because the rest of the usual avenues for gaining power have been well-explored, with a Blitz air filter and air flow meter allowing maximum inlet flow and a Blitz Super Sequential dump valve venting the excess pressure straight back out into the atmosphere. Adding to the Blitz-fest is a full ECU upgrade, which works in tandem with a high-flow fuel pump to ensure a plentiful supply of fuel to the engine. Finishing off the Blitz box of tricks is an alloy sump, just to keep the underside looking as good as what you see up top.Getting rid of unwanted gas is not just what you aim for after a heavy night on the Guinness — it’s a necessity if you want to free up those ponies, and that’s exactly what Boyd has opted for with his Aerotourer. The Glenfield exhaust aces at Al’s Mufflers were tasked with the responsibility, and they came up with a custom
