Hi,

I have a ee90 corolla that I converted to a 4e-fte starlet turbo, I used origonal 2e gearbox which hasn't lasted long, it already had done 300,000 before conversion, its noisy az, and oil is leaking from the bottom.

I have been thinking of converting the wagon to four wheel drive with the running gear from a import toyota carib wagon, as far as I can tell this should bolt straight into an ee90 wagon, I will change the fuel tank to fit the driveshaft, but can the bellhousing from my origonal ee90 2e gearbox fit onto the 4wd gearbox? and what clutch would be best to use? the engine has the 2e flywheel on it.

cheers

feedback appreciated

yea bro what he said.

remeber that the old caribs had the engine mounted in a RWD position, so thats gonna cause some shit.

maybe just use all that carib stuff and use a RWD box(t series/ w series)
and go RWD, better gains than FWD or 4WD.

food for thought

Errr.. only the early to mid 80s model Caribs used the North/South engine layout dude. The AE95 (I think?) Carib uses transverse mounted East/West engine layout with A series engine.

Ae95 is correct, with a mighty 4a-f :lol:

Sweet as maybe I stick to frontwheel, anyone know what the strongest box clutch combo would be, its getting some new toys soon eg. tdo4, external waste gate, and upgraded fueling.

Cheers ya'll

You need a C52 from a Ep82 or EP91 Starlet.

Yeah drive shaft will fit for 4wd model, cos has tunnel there, just needs fuel tank from 4wd model to accomodate driveshaft

oh ok, meh, do it then.....

You could get a C50F box and transfer case off a EP85 or EP95. This would allow you to keep the 4E-FTE engine yet setup a 4WD transmission.
