Can I change a 96 Toyota Corolla 1.8L over to a 1.6L?

Please help,
Bruce

yes.... but why you want a less powerful engine?

unless he's talking about a 4age...

Will it bolt up to the 1.8 transmission? I bought a 1.6 engine by mistake. It had the crank sensor and 7afe distributor.

Will the 1.6L bolt up to the 1.8 transmission?

What engine are you referring to?

We'll need a code.

4A-FE?

Can I put the cylinder head from my 96 corolla on my 93 corolla wagon? both 1.8L.

getting code...

2T1BA02E9
TC112188
# 808 is stamped on block

try the VIN number on the block, near the bell housing end on the same side as the exhaust manifold.

4alo31342

[Bitter]

thats not a vin....where did you buy the engine from?

[emailmebackatat]

It is Stamped 4A by the bell housing,on the front of the block, and the first set of numbers I sent are the 2 Toyota tags by the bellhousing next to the 4A

It'll be a 4A-FE, they look identical to the 7A-FE except they're not stroked out as much. It will fit right in as they use the same engine mounts etc, but you may have to use a 4A-FE ECU instead. The engine loom might be slightly different too, but I can't say for sure. I'm sure somebody will know what you need to change though.

iirc there may be a difference between the flex plates as well (aka flywheel)

THanks,
The only difference I noticed is the locating pin on the block for when the transmission lines up, and I would have to take the pin out, and then bolt trans on.
I have both flex plates,and the wiring harness, the part on the engine is still there, even though they cut the end by the firewall, you see, I bought the 1.6 thinking it was a 1.8, the distributer said 7AFe, and it had the carnk sensore, so I thought is was a 1.8, didnt know to look at the oil pan, and the 7a or 4 A stamped by the bellhousing, probaly cant take the engine back, so would like to make it work
Thanks
Bruce
