inapickle Posted October 23, 2007 Author Report Posted October 23, 2007 hay guys. sorry it took so long to reply plenty of good sugestions here. where do i start don't want a holden engine. nothing wrong with it just don't want one hilux engine. Will look into it Wouldnt mind keeping it toyota had thought about the mazda turbo v6. just don't no much about them how strong r they. how strong r the gearbox had my heart set on a nissan v6. will find out how big they r and if will fit as for what i want for, I want it so that i can gear it to cruse at bugger all revs ( so need low down grunt) be able to go to a drag strip and pull a receptable time and have fun at the track. so i don't want much! lol Quote
irokin Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 Is it possible for you to take the effort to put an A and an E around your Rs? Thanks... Quote
LittleRedSpirit Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 if you want the thing to turn a corner, I wouldnt even bother with a V6, unless you're prepared to cut the firewall back and mount the engine further back like a sports sedan, to help redistribute the weight. Put a solid 2L turbo motor in it and it will go just as hard, and handle like it should... maybe 3SGTE?? keep it Toyota!!!!! Seriously? Have you thought about it? Instead of an inline four with one cylinder in front of the front axle, it would have a full 6 cylinders behind the axle. Seems awesome to me. Interesting tasteful conversions are thin on the ground. Go hard I say. Matt Quote
Jordan Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 (edited) The quad cam toyota Tron block V6's (VZ's) that came in the early/mid 90's camry's had an "S" series bellhousing, as the manual gearbox's are very sort after for use in MR2's. Point being that find and SA63 celica belhousing ($70) and then a W57/8 box and the conversion is looking very possible. Not sure if the later model Alloy block motors kept the same bellhousing bolt pattern. The inlet manifld would need attention, but nothing a pair of Porche tripple down draft weber carburetors wouldn't fix :) enjoy Jordan This thread has got me thinking, there might be something to this camery V6 idea :D Edited October 23, 2007 by Jordan Quote
ae174agze Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 i surpose it all depends on how mutch you are willing to give to your corolla but i did see a ke70 on ebay a wile back with a commodore 3.8 in it Quote

Go hard I say. Matt No doubt it would be awesome...I suppose anything is acceptable if your budget allows it... it would most likely be a front runner in the sports sedan class, or you may be able to register it as an Individually Constructed Vehicle with the proper engineering applied.. I'm getting all wet just contemplating this haha Quote
VHR32 Posted October 24, 2007 Report Posted October 24, 2007 A Prado 5VZ-FE would be good........ 3.4L V6 EFI Quote
raff_gsr Posted October 24, 2007 Report Posted October 24, 2007 ultimately, the aurion v6 with the 6 speed auto would be the best but thats fwd only right? and bloody expensive too id bet! Quote
wanadrft Posted January 3, 2008 Report Posted January 3, 2008 I'm planning on putting the Vq30de into my 86, now living in Brisbane but was in NZ where we put a VQ30det into my brothers S14. Sat back further compared to the sr and didn't weigh to much difference (weight was further back). Only thing to watch is the water pipe that comes from the back of the motor can fowl on the Brake booster, We ended up using a starlet brake booster on the s14 as it was a lot smaller and no more problems. Exhaust manifolds can be fun. Would not even bother with a VG variant, to big and heavy. Will use a front wheel drive variant for mine and the spare box from the S14. other then the 350z box $1500+ there are no bolt up options. Rear wheel models are available just a little harder to find. I am a nissan fan but can't get past the look of the 86 so decided to combine them both Quote
machg Posted January 3, 2008 Report Posted January 3, 2008 (edited) W a y out of left field, probably cost too much, but one of those VW 15 degree V6's would definitely fit, R32 engines give standard WRXs a scare. Would need custom bellhousing as is FWD only. Edited January 3, 2008 by machg Quote
machg Posted January 3, 2008 Report Posted January 3, 2008 ...also world's easiest V6 Turbo conversion (common intake and exhaust) Quote
ae174agze Posted January 3, 2008 Report Posted January 3, 2008 i reccon a mazda 3 2.3L turbo engine would make a nice RWD engine Quote
Jordan Posted January 3, 2008 Report Posted January 3, 2008 Camery V6 either the iron block 3VZ-FE or it's alloy sister the 1MZ-FE. Both are 3.0L 60degree V6's that bolt up to S-Series bellhousings as found in the SA63 celica, (so you can attach a W55/7/8 gearbox.) Cheers Jordan Quote
