Corolla Engine replacement question...

[GTCRSHR]

4AGTE (or 4AFTE ? ) too comon for my liking now

[Mr Revhead]

the s/c for the 2zzge is a lotus item
i can probably get it.
but it wont be cheap.

go have a look at a 2zzge.
the exhaust is at the back and intake in the front

[Bazda]

damn, you must have lots of money if your going to build a 2zzge with a supercharger
and the 3sgte 4wd

did u win lotto lately?

[Mr Revhead]

[Jebus]

Sick, 2ZZGE Would be my pick, definately different, and would be awesome. FWD 3SGTE is old news.

my brother is 95% done doing the 3sgte in the ae101 it is doable but lots of fiddle little shite and any work you need to do is pretty much an engine out job still will be interesting to see how it runs

[narlystarly]

After seeing barrys 7agte haze it up trying to get some power down, def 7agte FTW, even though im 4agte hard.....

Do the 3sgte with 4wd conversion, its an awsome idea. Something id love to do to my ae101 fxgt one day when im not a student anymore.

Go on, do it you know you want to!

& if you or someone else does it first then my girlfriend will stop threatening to kill me everytime i bring up the idea of doing the conversion/build.

Any pics of the latest progress on it? or is it still secret squirrel?

KFC he's got a silvertop in it at the moment...

Who you calling KFC
?

what are the main problems / weakness's with the 2zz and by adding the supercharger kit what problems does this introduce (where is the engine most likely to fail)

Their high comp is the first issue you have to contend with if turbo/SC'ing it.

If NA, they are fine barring a bit of a tendency towards mis-shifts causing blown oil pumps.

If doing a bit of ~1G cornering, a baffled sump is suggested.


Half cut 2zzge is ~$6k as of about 6 months ago when they got one for my car.


if you want some more info on parts, try my site, dave.net.nz/old_site and check out the car pages.

[soopachargen]

has the 6-speed got a factory lsd??

[barryogen]

nope, I think it was an option for them though, so some may have them... If you want a TRD one ~$1200 from Mr Revhead last time I asked, Quaife one is ~USD$4k from c2 power I think(might have been hass).

All plus fitting which is about 4-5 hrs as engine has to be lifted out or suspension assembly removed from memory(read it online so not certain of it).

[Grotty]

go 3sgte 4wd! very fun car to drive..

[bOi]

any progress on the engine transplant yet??? Im interested but only diff is in a ae111 and as far as i know, fensport uk is the only people that has done a corolla 3sgte 4wd, and some fwd 3sgte corolla's
