Need Help

[comtoy]

hi i was contemplating puttin the 3tgte engine in me ke35 corolla hardtop but engineer said i need to upgrade suspension diff body strength brakes gearbox but having trouble sourcing suitable parts for these things any help would be greatful :D or does anyone know of another powerplant that would be easier swap for engineering purposes :hmm:

If thats all thats needed for the 3T-GTE swap then its all pretty straight foward.

 

Gearbox = W5x (supra)

 

Diff = T series (T18)

 

Suspension = (front) XT130 struts with 86 inserts and higher rate spring. (Rear) New leaf springs with 1or 2 extra leaves, Half rebound leaf and 86 shocks.

 

Brakes = (Front, using the XT130 strut) Corona/Celica/Cressida or Corona/Peugot/Hilux upgrades. (Rear) ST141 disc brake upgrade.

 

You should be able to find all of the above in wreckers, forums, etc.

 

 

Body strength = Seam welding and sub frame connectors.

 

As long as its all done properly, it SHOULD satisfy the engineer.

 

CHEERS

can anyone think of anything else that might need to be done to the car for this engine to fit

[styler]

3tgteu is an old and rare motor both in buying one, oem parts and aftermarket parts...

 

they are a twinspark motor with expensive twinspark dizzy setup and a basic fuel only

computer thats best changed to aftermarket or delco setup. needs a really good tune

to run about 12psi else forgies are required. easy to swap the bigger single wastegate ct26

found on supras but most of them would require a rebuild, better off with a new turbo.

injectors need upgrading and good idea to also get a better turbo manifold. oem parts

are non existant or very expensive, aftermarket are expensive as well.

 

much better idea to run a ca18det in all aspects if you ask me...
