hey guys and gurls has anybody ever put a 2tg or 18rgeu into a ae71 before???

 

how hard would it be???

The AE71 came from the factory in Japan with a 2T in it, Its called the TE71.

so i could just modify the celica engine mounts and the corolla ones and drive it away to a degree??

You have to use a T series bellhousing too.

I have done it and currently have it in my ae71.

 

 

T-18 cross member t18 gear box and clutch solid line. ke70 tailshaft. need to wire up the coil on other side of engine bay.

 

pretty easy conversion, but you'll either need to weld steering rack mounts on the t18 crossmember, or modify AE71 mounts to take the T motor.

 

with the T18 cross member, everythng bolted up and there was no clearance problems.

but i can get away with using my ae71 crossmember and just use t 18 engine mounts????

 

does the firewall need any kinda persuading to accept the t50?? beacuse i can easily get everythin i need to both persuade and do conversion

An AE71 (assuming it's manual) will already have a T50, so I fail to see why you'd need to "persuade" the firewall to accept one from a Celica.

 

Oh, and there have been 18Rs put in AE71s too, but it's not common in Aus because there are lighter, smaller and cheaper options. Same goes for the 2T, they're both big heavy engines. 2Ts are more common in older KEs, but when you get to the KE70 and AE71 you've got access to much newer engines that require less work to install (like a 4AGE) which are smaller, lighter and cheaper to get more power out of, and practically drop in.

yeah but this is an auto ae71 so i don't wanna go bashing shit to much to make it fit in

 

oh ok fair enuff well i am already in the process of doin a manual conversion to my rolla anyway and i can't decide on a 4agte or 2tgeu considerin i hav a mate that has like three and 2tg's are cheap ish

There is no difference in size, You just have to make a hole in the firewall for the clutch master cylinder.

yeah i knew about that hole but thats it ok cool cheers for the help ladies and gents if there is any more info please don't be afraid 2 pm me every bit of info is always helpfull
