hmmm first up good to see you got a concise answer from the rta

even better if the motor you have to use is the caldina 3sgte theyve got a bit more powa!! so ive heard

i doubt id bother using the stivo gearbox the close ratio's probably wouldnt be suited to a turbo spose just using the 3sge box would be substantial

IT'S A CLOSE RATIO BOX. I DON'T THINK IT'S WHAT YOU WOULD BE AFTER. CALL NEIL BATES AUTOMOTIVE.

Bah Rob, i've told you many times, Neal Bates Automotive wont help you with road car engine transplants.

The Caldina is a 4WD 3S-GTE as far as I know. I doubt you will be able to modiy the corolla for 4WD and get it engineered.

If you are going for a FWD i'm not sure if the 6 speed will bolt up or not. As for the engine, have you checked it will fit? I know it does, but i'm pretty sure you will need to make custom mounts etc. Seems like a lot of work and a lot of dollars that you could just put into the 2ZZ.

good to see the rta gave u that awesome answer of assurance ...... now to reality ...... i obviously have not done this mod but from memory when measuring it all up i think there was going to need to be some chopping or some crucial pieces which would then mean the car cant be road legal ....... unless the rta can advise on how they got around such matters.

lol!

it all sounds like something that is allowable but for the cash youll be throwing at it for the conversion you could probably get a similar result working with whats already there im sure after screwing about getting it in engineered and everything else youd have to upgrade for it all to be legal bill would still most likely stomp it into the ground

Hehe. Mick told me in the past that if you call them up and even hint about doing a 3SGTE 4x4 conversion to a newer corolla, they just say "NAO!" and hang up.

I imagine a halfcut from a caldina that is newer then your car would be quite expensive. Probably have to do a bit of firewall massaging :D Just get the whole bottom end rebuilt and throw a turbo on it. You can start flooding Xoom's PM box now. Pretty much the fastest zze123 corolla in Oz belongs to Xoom and that things kinda stops me from breathing when I got a chance for a joy ride.

Since when did he say that he say that he was going to turn it into a 4WD corolla??

the engine wont bolt up to the sportivo 6-speed, but you're better off using an E series box from an SW20 turbo with LSD. Grab some linkages from a FWD E series box (AE92, AE101 GTZ or AE95 4wd, V6 camry etc). Your standard shifter and shift cables will work fine with the SW20 E-series box.

Use some AE101 GTZ driveshafts and modify the carrier bracket to suit the 3S block, you'll need 3 of the 4 mounts modified to fit the 3S with E series 5-speed to the ZZE engine bay. The front and rear mounts are pretty straight forward, the timing cover mount is the most involved but still not too hard if you retain the stock ZZE mount from the rail and fabricate a new bracket from the block to the insulator.

I can't remember if the Caldina uses a non-return fuel system, if it is a return-style then convert the ZZE fuel pump assembly to return style with the external regulator and a 6mm or 8mm return line. If the caldina engine uses a non-return style like the Altezza 3S then grab a walbro and slap that into the sportivo fuel pump housing.

You can use the Caldina engine loom and ECU or go with an aftermarket ECU. Caldina loom + ECU is the only way to get it engineered in NSW for a reasonable amount of $$$... I doubt you'll get it engineered legally with an aftermarket ECU.

All the rest of the stuff is fairly straightforward conversion stuff like radiator and heater core hoses, cooler and intake piping.

Bates is renowned for using the GT4 setup on top of a corolla chassis, I was just hinting at that.

check out www.fensport.co.uk

they have a corolla with 3sgte n 4wd 650bhp

only problem is they are in uk

Pretty sure the UK car is a slightly different shape body to the aussie one. Better to check out the Bates one, but its not street legal

Fensport 3SGTE 4WD ZZE122

Looks like a standard ZZE to me, they used the 5-door body shape as opposed to the 3-door T-Sport that we didn't get here.

If you want a fast Corolla I suggest the Xoom-style option. You will have plenty of headaches but I suspect not as many as you would with the 3SGTE conversion.

at least all that bill found during the turbo convo will steer you in the right direction

      Faulty speedo

      Remove dash instrument cluster, remove speedo, and check the inner spindle drive is not dragging against the magnetic drum that moves the speedo needle to show your speed. While you're at it withdraw the INNER cable from the speedo cable using a pointy pair of pliers and coat it with vasaline and reinstall. if it still plays up the speedo drive is stuffed

      2012 Hilux 3.0 D4D starts, runs for 30 seconds then stops

      Also, I have pulled an injector and fuel is coming out of it...so whilst i am not sure how much pressure is there, diesel is being fed up to the injectors...so the problem i think is electronic in that the injectors are not pulsing. Now i know that the injector pulse controller is working because the car has been started and ran for up to 30 seconds on a number of occasions I have disconnected the MAFS, cleaned out the MAF but it doesnt make any difference. It appears to me that the computer is disabling the injection system for some reason.

      2012 Hilux 3.0 D4D starts, runs for 30 seconds then stops

      hi guys, my son drowned his Hilux in 4 feet of water a week ago. (note car has a snorkel) I stripped out the alternator, starter motor, PCM and Turbo Wastegate controller, drained oil, removed filter and replaced, as well as went around the lower part of the engine disconnecting and learning electrical connectors. I went through both fuse boxes (one under hood, second fuse box underneath steering wheel, and also disconnected cleaned and reconnected plugs all around the inside of the cab. We charged up the battery, gave the engine a 720 degree hand crank with a socket on the harmonic balancer to ensure it wasn't hydro locked pulled the exhaust immediately after the turbo to check no water had come up the bum and into the turbo removed and checked airbox and flexible turbo intake piping checked there was no water ingress through the intercooler After all of the above, we hit that start key and she fired up immediately. I then immediately shut it off to check a few connectors and see if any error codes were registering still on the ODB port...I cleared them. Thats when all the trouble began... The car wouldn't start after this. We removed battery and put it back on charge and left it for the night. Next day, installed battery, turned the key...she fired up immediately. 30 seconds later it shutdown again...then refused to start. I removed battery, left it for an hour whilst mucking around with a few connectors and cleaning...plugged in battery again and voila....started back up again. Ran for about 30 seconds then shutdown refusing to restart again. Its the exact same thing over and over again. The ODB reader gives at least 2 error codes consistently 1. Barometric pressure in the manifold error 2. Turbo wastgate low voltage (I obtained another turbo wastegate controller however this had made no difference to the turbo error code) I am not convinced that the turbo or the barometric pressure are necessarily what is causing it to shutdown. Is it possible that water has somehow gotten into something related to the factory ignition disable system and is causing this? Ideas?

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      I had better finish off my saga because it definitely didn't end with the installation of the new (2nd hand) pump. I tested the new pump before installation and it worked fine. I installed the pump and reinstalled the tank. Knowing that the sub tank was full and the main tank was near empty, I expected the turning on of the ignition would have got the pump pumping. It didn't. I remove the relay that operates the sub-tank pump and it tested ok. I eventually worked out that there was no earth connection to the relay coil. There was +12V to socket for the other side of the relay coil and +12V at the terminal socket which connects to the pump when the relay closes. I connected a temporary earth to the earth side of the coil (using a fine piece of telephone cable wire which can be slipped into the socket before the relay is reinstalled) and the pump ran. I had previously identified this problem but concluded that the computer must control both the + side and the earth side of the relay coil, although I couldn't see why it would do this. My problem was that the the pump problem didn't always occur. If the gauge got to below a quarter and the fuel light didn't begin flashing, I could assume that the sub tank was near empty. But, sometimes the fuel light would commence flashing once the gauge got to 1/4 full and I knew that I had about 40km to go before empty. So, the new pump was behaving like the old pump and the problem must not be the pump. Fed up, I removed the relay, made up 4 short (4") leads with a spade on one end and a spade socket on the other end and connected the relay remotely. This then allowed me to connect another wire to the earth lead for the relay and take it to earth via a waterproof switch. If and when the fuel light starts flashing again, I will stop and switch on the switch to pump the contents of the sub-tank into the main tank. On reflection, this has probably been my problem all along and there was probably nothing wrong with the original pump (I convinced myself after reading about all the others who had had this problem that the electrical connection in the main tank had become high resistance and melted the fitting). I have not heard of anyone else who has diagnosed this to be the problem. I will post a photo of my fix later.

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      I have a hoist so height wasn't an issue. But, if you run the rear wheels up onto ramps, you shouldn't have a problem. Remember, it is a 2-man job - one to support the tank and the other to connect the various pipes. Take a few photos of the pipe layouts before you remove them.

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Geoff, Are you able to let me know how far / high you had to get your car into the air to successfully drop the tank? I guess my next step will depend on that distance. Hope everything goes well for you when you are tackling it. Thanks

      toyota 700

      Your starting problem could be engine timing .I had a no start problem and found that the engine had been apart and timed wrongly as there are2 marks on the internal gears so be carefull. Oil filters that will fit U10 are R2206P old ones but still available. Brake parts from local suppliers no problem and note that early UP10 had factory problems with the fuel pump not giving up enough fuel when engine under load.
