2jz gte into a 80 corolla wagon

[mainerolla80]

i have a 19080 corolla wagon and i am thinking about putting a 2jz gte motor in it and i just want some feed back on how hard this really could be.thanks

If you have to ask its too hard.

[Rookie_One]

ask yourself : you have a frame made for a 4 cylinder, you want to swap it for a 6 cylinder, will it be easy?

[REN69]

No, it won't be easy.. It can be done, but not easy. Here's a sample of a similar but probably even more difficult swap; 1UZFE V8 into a 1980 TE72 Corolla.

You have to remember, now you have to custom fit everything; from the motor mounts to the transmission mounts, you'll probably need the Supra rear end or at least one that will take the power that the 2JZ can give; on top of this now you need suspension work and probably upgrade your wheels and tires.

It can be done, but its not cheap.

Get a 2RZ out of a 95-04 taco, turbo it, and fly. if you dont knwo what i'm talkin about go to www.paradiseracing.com and see for yourself.

toyota 1UZ-FE is an easier swap because the V8 is alot shorter than the I-6 of the supra.

mmmhmmmm



theres one in a ae86...have fun.

and how much money do you have? do you realize how much a 2jz, with the getrag go for?

[Flashmn]

I didnt say it was impossible, nothing is...

[micro214_kp61]

FYI.. that AE86 has more room than a normal TEXXs. see how the rad support had to be cut and move the rad and intercooler further to the front. well that gap you have between rad and bumper doesn't exist in a 1980 Corolla. so there you go, unless you wanna move the dashboard then it'll be tough. the 1UZ will be easier coz it's wider not longer.

that being said.. why not just stick with your 3T and boost it?

lol dont worry bro i wasnt arguing with you, i put that up to show how cramped that bay is.

For streetability, I would rather do a 3SGE/GTE swap into the AE86.. just ask Mike how much fun a 3SGTE is.

i dunno what a 3SGTE powered AE86 feels like.. the damn car is too heavy for us anyways, hahaha.

here's our theory... 1500lbs car + 2.0L boosted motor = HELLA FUN

btw, the final outcome is FUN.. but getting there wasn't, if you know what i mean.


goodluck finding the proper parts for the RWD 3SGTE swap.
