4efte in a corolla....i might go for it guys..help if u can!!!

[lifeisviewtiful]

ok guys i am gonna go for the 4efte in my corolla. here are the million dollar questions

would i need the original engine mounts or would 4efe/efte mounts work fine?

is a hood scoop mandatory with since the inercooler is top mounted?

which axles would i need?

is there any other issues i would have to worry about as far as making this work?

[VooDoo]

it would be much easier if you just get the whole front cut.

otherwise,
1. you need the mounts (rubber isolator and bracket) from the 4EFTE. you need to also do some bit of relocation (left and right mounts)
2. yes. heatsoak
3. the ones that came with the engine

a gze would be better - and more powerful

[canadianae92]

I agree with toyotaspeed90

What motor do you have at the moment??

If its an E series then go 4efte
If its an A series go 4age

IIRC, all USDM Corollas are A engine equipped.

i think the Tercels are the ones with E engines.

I agree with everyone.. unless you got a Tercel, I wouldn't touch that 4EFTE.. even the Tercel guys go with 20V or GZE.

you're right. i drove my cousin's car back in Manila and lacking balls but excellent gas mileage.

ok guys, i WOULD go for the regular 4age swaps. but simple fact is i have a 3 spd auto in my ae101 not a 5 spd(if i had this the swap would have been done already). now i have looked from here(florida) to timbuktu for auto tranny and also auto ecu for the 20v or 4agze. i HAVE NEWER SEEN BOTH OF THOSE AVAILABLE and i don't have much time nor money nor facilities to do much custom work(wiring, programming etc....). there is a performance shop down in miami about 300 miles away that has the 4efte complete(engine, INTACT wiring harness/loom, axles, AUTO tranny, ecu, and mounts) for about 850 and only around 70 bucks frieght shipping(dropped off at my doorstep). this is honestly why i decided to go this route. so realistically i can throw this swap in for about 1100 bucks with a 90 day warranty on the engine. if anyone can find ANY reasons to object to this after reading the above facts. then please comment.


also please help with more info. VooDoo you said i need to do relocation of the mounts. so if i get the mounts that came with the engine it would not drop right in. how much work is contained in "relocating" the mounts???? chime in anyone. i can honestly see this swap done within a months time maybe sooner if this goes down smoothly.
