i know this is an old thread but i would like to apologize to punter mainly, but also to all the others 99corolla110 did not know what he was doing those days. hes learned the error of his ways and has began opening his eyes to reality(i.e. he was a dumb ass but know hes a smarter dumb ass) so on behalf of 99corolla110 i do apologize to his rude and inconsiderate words.
OMG pointless. Just drop the topic now. If you want an AWD vehicle with power, get a car with that already. By the time you spend all that money converting it, you could've boughten a car that was built for AWD and with more power... STOCK!

wasnt there an XRS version of the Matrix with the 2ZZ and an AWD i know i have seen one, so it is possible but it will cost a bunch of money and you might as well go buy a WRX or an EVO and drop cash into those and have much more fun and SAFETY
A 3SGt-E or even the 3SG-e Beams motor with dual vvt-i will fit nicely into the 1993-2002 corollas, even newer ones also. the Celica GT4 drive train is similar in size to a corolla but the celica is a few inches wider so you would have to compensate with some wider fenders (oh bummer). but the suspension is identical design and shares some parts so you can use the Celica rear hub and bearings and run the rear disk brakes, and use the celica porportioning valve. the celica is 5x100 lug pattern in the rear of the car so to get 5x100 in the front use the 2003+ hubs and rotor, cause the rest of the brakes are the same as the 93-02 (once again, oh bummer you had to do a 5 lug conversion.)
all that time and effort (and $$$$) just buy a All-TRAC celica, a EVO, or a STI. hell even a Talon Tsi. end of story.
the evo and sti ant awd talon are not sleepers. noone expects a corolla to roast all 4 tires leaving the line. most dont expect a corolla to roast 1 tire.
the corolla is the perfect sleeper.
It is, but that's the project you're describing is still a ridiculous amount of money to spend on an inferior platform performance wise. Even after the swap it still won't have the handling ability of those cars nor the will it be comparable traction-wise due to the already front-heavy weight bias. However, this does have the potential to be a good drag setup.

It all comes down to choice; maybe some people don't like EVO's and STI's because you see them everywhere. Everyone jumps on the bandwagon and wants to get the same stuff. I'd rather do a custom project like this instead of buying the same car as everyone else.

Hope you have deep pockets.
It will cost more than buying and then modifying an EVO or STi in the end.
And Corollas are way more common than both those cars so there's nothing unique about it at all.

Here's the main thing in doing this, don't let this guys talk you out of it. Get a goal and find out how to get it done, then do it.
Second of all if your gonna do any custom swap like you are talking about, the only you can get it done with minimal spending, is to do things yourself or if you know someone who can do it.
Third if you want to do this kind of swap, you need to get a whole engine/transmission combo. As some have already said the 3sgte and AWD tranmission form the Celica all trac is the best way to go. The 3 sgte is very capable of slmost the same numbers as the 2jz.
To get an idea, search ebay for 3sgte engines. Also you have to think about custom hose, wiring harness, mounts, ect. to fit the Corolla, and those could get very expensive.
But, I've driven a 7th gen with a stock Black top 4age with just headers and a hi-flow cat to a stock muffler. But man from 3 to 7 grand there is just no end of power. So that with the lightness of the Corolla is an awesome combo.

this statement dumbfounds me, there is no 3SGTE that even fully built will compete with an even slightly modded 2jzgte

I said LIKE this. And if the kid wants to do it, I think he should get the help he needs, instead of being discouraged. You probably never hear from some of the people again because they get blasted for their idea. But then again, people can't help it, because some questions are pretty funny lol

Every corolla you see is usually stock. I wouldn't be expecting to get smoked by an 8th gen, and if I heard a nice one drive by, I wouldn't be able to tell right away what it is without looking (like people can with STI's and EVO's). Toyota always had (and they still do) a lot of potential, and the smarter people tend to work on Toyotas.

Did you not read my reply two posts up?
Anyways, I'm locking this because as with threads that ask these types of questions always turn sour quickly.
