2JZ in an AE86 possible?

[RiceKiller1109]

Hey guys, i may end up selling my trans am and with the money i wanted to do something different.

I have always liked the AE86's because it is RWD as well. My question is can a 2JZ fit in a corolla? Not sure because I only know about american cars but I know i would need to do some custom work but its not big of a deal. Curious if anyone has heard or done this before.

It has been done before, do a search, I'm too lazy to find the pics.
Is it possible? Yes
Is it practical? Hell No

If you're interested in a more useable engine swap for the AE86, a 20V 4A-GE or 4A-GZE is much much easier.

can these motors be turboed without doing much motor work in it? Again I know nothing about toyota engines and im searching as i speak

[CRASHDRIVE]

thats a lot of fab and too expensive and you cant even use it for autox too heavy in front too much power

^trueno drag car? trueno tail lights is more like it ...maybe it used to be a trueno??? anyways, there is a guy on club4ag, he rarely, if even, visits that board anymore...he has a 2jz-gte in his coupe...u might wanna try a search over there...

Big enough shoe horn? it looks kinda tight? ive always heard the AE-86 has almost 50/50 weight distribution stock i would think a 2JZ whould totally destroy that!

If i was looking for any handling id look at something else like a 4age or 4agze or build the 4agze into a turbo motor or if i got brave a 3sge or a 3sgte....

For straight line maybe a 2jz would be ok but it would be extremely difficult to do

^^^ yeah the AE86 have great handling, my friend just swaped a 7m motor on his AE86 and im telling you its very fast but when we went to willow springs for time attack he often understeer and made less than a SOHC civic, i know its sad thats why hes trying to sell his car and start allover again. if you want poer w/o disturbing the balance of the car get a 4agze here is what i have
