Ok i have another little swap i recently got ahold of a 86 corrolla. this little car is a lot of fun. It doesnt have power really but its still fun to drift downhill. But as this is going to be a daily driver i need a little more get up and go i mean its a nice motor but 120 or so horses jus wont cut it for me i like speed too much. so my ? is how hard would it be to put a sr20 in the 86? i want a s13 blacktop (although i dont know what the difference is between the red and black) i was told one was newer than the otrher or something to that effect. But is this a possible swap if it would get too difficult i think i am going to jus but a 87 mazda rx7 motor in it. I love rotarys so what would be the better option? or the least difficult

It's been done. Search on google and you'll find stuff.

Howevr, it's not straightforward. You're putting a Nissan motor in an older Toyota chassis. Electronics will be different as will fitment. If you're a mechanics noob, I'd stick with easier projects.
