Has anyone either done this or heard anything of this being done?

I know in the US one can buy a kit to put a 351 (5.8L V8 for the younger ones) into a Focus (and make it RWD at the same time). Wondering if there was anything like this for the Corolla.

I dunno about a kit cause engine wouldn't fit .. mm have to be mounted sideways ...

I seen a 3.8ltr V6 in a 1978 corolla ... next time i saw the car was a picture wrapped around a pole :(

but engine fitted under bonnet with strut towers modded .. engine / radiator went almost to front bar ..

Looked neat inder there ... 5 speed celica gearbox and running gear ( will try to find pics)

was a rocket .. but no longer :( but as new corolla think it would be no good...

I did find one website in USA they had retrofitted a 2jZE engine from supra into 2003 corolla sedan(us model)

remember to enigineer the car would cost $$$$$ most US states laws are VERY flexable not like in Australia..

to put a 351 in an XF falcon will cost you $1200 to get it certified in Vic

I reckon and 2ltr AWD corolla supercharged its ***** off would be perfect !!

in japan they have dropped the aurion v6 engine into the aurus (corolla) its a 3.5L with stupid torque and power however i doubt we would see it here in aus. As for doing this sort of a conversion ..... as any workshop will tell you .... anything is possible .... it only takes time and money ....

there is an article posted on the forum somewhere if i find it ill post it up again.

I can't see any reason why you can't put the Camry or Aurion V6s into the Corolla. They are both mounted the right way anyway, would just have to make sure the engine fits and that engine mounts can me moved to suit.

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
