Celica GT4 Engine into '90 Corolla

[Mk1Dub]

Would the engine from a GT4 go into a '90 Corolla easily (just the engine) with the standard mount's or will these have to be moved?

Has it been done before?

(not to bothered about the 4wd by the way)

Also, is there a 2wd gearbox that will fit the GT4 engine or can the standard 'box be capped in some way or form?

Many Thanks.

It's been done. Check CorollaCustomz for his contact info. 3SGTERolla or something like that.

yeah, its been done like aaron said.. expect to pay more than $10,000 though.. (about 5,000 pounds)

Cheers Aaron.

Why so much ?

Also, could you tell me what the model code and engine code is for a 1.6 16v Corolla '90?

Cheers again.

before u buy one, please be able to name that engine rather than point fingers at what car it came out of.....:p

[4Aaron GE]

Which 1.6 are you referring to? In the North American market, the 1990 AE92 came with the 4A-FE and the 4A-GE, both 1.6L 16V twincam engines.

All i've got to go on is what my mates trying to find out, it's a UK spec 1.6 16v 1990 Toyota Corolla FWD, that's all i've got to go on :p .

And the fact that he want's to know if you can put the 3S-GTE (1990-'93) engine into it and what need's changing in the bay itself and what accesories you would need to make it work.

Not sure if those would be the same codes as used in the UK or not, but thanks anyway.

Is there a 2WD 'box that will fit onto the 3S-GTE engine?

Or would there be a better turbocharged 2.0l to use from the Toyota stable thats kind on the cash front?

[4Aaron GE]

Well, I'm told the 3S will bolt up to the AE92 frame with minimal mount modifications(??!!), but you'd have to ask him exactly what was done. As far as a tranny goes, look for a 5speed 4cyl Camry, or a celica of the previous 3 generations with a S series engine (non ST models).

Oh, and does his current engine look like any of the pics in the first thread in this forum? (4AG engine pics)

good job it can be put in the car but will require major modification. the 3sgte from sw20 can be used since the sw20 is mr(engine layout same as ff)....only thing is that every damned wire that goes to the ecu will need to be extended.

[Mk1Dub]

What kind of major modification's would be needed to fit the 3S-GTE into the car in question?

Is the sw20 an MR2 engine?

SW20 is the chassis code for a Gen2 MR2 Turbo (It has the 3S-GTE engine)
