no problem bro, understand. it's because i'm in the big sandbox now so i'm quite busy (plus on the other side of the world)

i'll get you some answers, but i've never heard of putting a new one in a older corolla, most head for the japanese version (20V, 3SGTE, 4AGZE) are popular choices, and for how cheap they are i don't blame em. you can get a GZE from a MR2 USDM but not as strong stock. lots of options, if you wanna post em up here i'll do what i can to answer them.

going to be out for a couple of days so bear with me and i'll take care of your information quest!

Damn Torry. At least read the thread. You're slackin, my friend.

i know this isn't a honda forum. But usually in FWD engine swaps what does it take? Should i go to a honda store and just copy the list?

I am going to drop the 1zz into the AE92. The 4age everyone wants and the list i saw was a bunch of part motors(don't want)

Post by **jdmfreak** » Sat Sep 25, 2004 6:40 pm

Oh so you already have the AE92? I thought that you were gonna go and buy it. Anyway good luck with the swap.

Post by **w1ngzer0** » Sat Sep 25, 2004 7:38 pm

i will be buying it if i get the job. If i don't get the job i won't be doing this becuase i don't need a second car for this small town.

Post by **austins240** » Sun Sep 26, 2004 6:53 am

well i don't know about the 1zz and how well it would fit/what mods it needs but on the FF's its ususally MUCH easier to drop the engine from the bottom.

acess to a lift will make your job a lot easier, will have to drop the front end copmletely. pull your front suspension, and unbold your hubs from the axles.

pull the axles (after draining the transmission, my first mistake) and remove all the subframe bolts and front cross member (front motor mount)

this will leave the engine hanging by the two side motor mounts. continue to remove all heater hozes, PS lines (unless you can drop the rack with the subframe, can't remember), AC, ground wires, wiring harness, fuel lines, etc.

once those things are all done, grab a pallate or two and lower the Xmember onto them. once you remove the side mounts the car can be lifted up by the lift (or in my case, with a couple of friends under the frame with the fenders removed and rolled back on two tires, ghetto but works)

this gives you a nice platform to swap on, remove old engine, easy acess to PS lines and rack if modification is needed etc...new engine is bolted to member, when everything lines up the car is then lowered onto the engne "assembly" and see if the side mounts line up.

then it's axles, lines, etc. back together and some interior rewiring.

hope that helps a bit. i know doing swaps because of emissions sucks. i'm glad i have no worries, yet..................

good luck, lemme know if you need more help. i'll be doing my GZE swap on my POS US corolla GTS soon. 1200 for a front clip isn't bad but i have an extra engine harness and ECU too so i can probably get one cheaper if i need to.

1200 for a front clip? where!

Post by **austins240** » Sun Sep 26, 2004 7:02 am

there's one that i found, not sure on quality but about $500 will get you a rebuild kit so it doesn't really matter if you have a bit of time and some basic tools. the 4AG family engine is awesome and easy to work on

Post by **austins240** » Sun Sep 26, 2004 7:09 am

well upon further inspecion of the site, they don't have any in stock.

i did get a quote from some place for an engine and transmission for about $1000 shipped

a little searching and email traffic will do wonders but the japanese versions didn't have the emissions stuff like us, only the charcoal canister.

if you want a GZE, go for the MR2 GZE, they might have had emissions stuff, not sure tho.

Post by **w1ngzer0** » Sun Sep 26, 2004 7:09 am

why do they only carry JDM motors T_T. I guess if i stay out of california it doesn't matter. But if i do thats going to be a problem :P

Post by **austins240** » Sun Sep 26, 2004 7:12 am

this is the email i got from the place (SC motors i think is the name)

"WE HAVE AE101 ENGINE W TRANSIT COMES WITH WIRE HARNESS FROM THE FUSE BOX TO THE ECU, MAPSENSOR, IGNITER, ECU,TOP INTERCOOLER , TRANS, ONE AXLETHE PRICE IS 1200SHIPPING IS 200I WILL SEND YOU PICS "

[email protected] is the email for the guy. not a bad price, you could find axles for sale at Club4AG.com i'm sure. this particular engine had 50,000km on it so should be fine. they are beasts!!!

sorry about that, i prefer to go with engine importers, cut the middle man and get a cheaper engine. the con is that the motors aren't tested usually in the states or at all. if you can rebuild it (good idea with ANY engine swap) then it shouldn't matter. that's the way i see it. the GZE was in the USDM MR2 so pars are available for it.

i want a ready to swap set. Engine rebuild for 500? neato

Post by **w1ngzer0** » Sun Sep 26, 2004 7:53 am

get on aim now

Post by **austins240** » Sun Sep 26, 2004 7:55 am

well i know when i did my head gasket on my GZE it was about $300 with all top end gaskets, timing belt kit, water pump and gaskets, head bolts, cam cap bolts, and cam seals along with new belts. i can't imagine the bottom end costing that much. well, with a new oil pump it might cost a little bit but i would guess around $5-600, depending on where you can source the parts. oh, and all were NEW OEM parts., ah, and intake/exhaust gaskets too. was quite the build.

just mark the cam gears correctly before removal!!haha, i made quite a few mistakes but the engine is very forgiving, along with a high redline and power all the way there with an open exhaust.

sounds like a perfect don't know **** about building a car project .

I know somewhat about cars but not enough due to the fact i have never worked on one that extensive.

Post by **austins240** » Tue Sep 28, 2004 5:21 am

well, if you have a good set of DECENT tools you should be fine. i learned almost all of what i know from tinkering. made my mistakes but turned the stock gze into a smoker after about a year and a half of buying stuff and seeing if it works.

i think if you were to choose an engine swap then it should be something that has been tested before.

you don't like the 4AG? yours is a GTS right? the 4ag can make really decent power for a little bit of money and time. NA isn't always bad, esp on the torque happy 4ag.

good luck, if you need help i can do what i can. honestly, the stuff isn't that hard at all. just takes patience and a will to get greasy to the elbows.
