SW20 3S-GTE motor swap into an AE110 corolla

HI guys, this is the parts I've acquired so far...

SW20 MR2 3S-GTE motor with:

ACL pistons
ACL rings
balanced inners
button clutch
lightened flywheel
Head was done
Racing gaskets
Garret T3/T4 turbo
Custom exhaust manifold
Dictator fuel management
Fuel regulator
Turbo car LSD gearbox
Side shafts
Wheel hubs
Harness of the turbo car
Petrol pump


What I'd like to know, is there a certain company that manufactures engine mountings for this kind of swap? Or must they be custom made?

This is a pic of my car...





These corollas were also sold in malaysia. And the guys there do these swaps as well, I live in South Africa and looking for the mountings. please help!!

Might be able to adapt mounts for the existing 3SGTE engine into the Corolla, but given your application - you'll probably end up saving time and money fabricating custom mounts.

You're pretty much on your own in this swap, theres generally no kits for installations for non native engines.

I am well aware of where he is. Corolla tuners are always having to ship stuff from far away with great expense. Us in NA are always getting shit from hong-kong and japan, etc. That 3S-GTE probably cost a good amount so I figured he had some money to spend for shipping. Also, ever heard of Email? It works all around the world for free It's a long shot you could even buy mounts from them but a free email to check can't hurt. Me= trying to help. You = hating Noob j/k no biggie
