Might be a stupid question to some but...

 

What corollas have a 5k or 7k engine standard? I know how rare they are and thats why I wanna get my hands on one.

 

Looking for a 7k preferably. There are a few 5k engines floating round on the FS section should I buy on one of them now for when I get a rolla in a while, or do they pop up all the time?

 

Thanks

5K's were in JDM KE70's and Assorted light commercial vans.

 

As far as i know the 7K both in carburetted and injected formats only ever came in the KR42 townace van.

Liteace or Townace.

 

Be aware, 7K into a Corolla is not a 'bolt in' job.

 

Do a search and you will discover many threads on this topic.

5k - KM36 liteace

 

7k - KR42 townace.

 

 

Neither I would really consider rare!! :blush:

The JDM KE70 with the factory 5K was the KE74....

 

I have seen a few in the Brisbane area. Reason I keep an eye out for them is they all had K-T bell housing in them :)

....and FYI the motors were called a 5K-J

If it's your first conversion go a 5k.. Simple as toast. A 7k requires slight modification to fit. Do a search for 7k and you'll find some

project threads. Point your questions in that direction if you want to ask about it!

7shades- I know it wouldn't be 'bolt in' job surely you'd have to modify a few things (haven't researched any of it). But I think it would be easier and a fair bit similar to a 3k or 4k (size wise). Surely it's easier than dropping a 4age in.

 

Taz_Rx-Didn't know they weren't that rare cause only a few people (like yourself) have a 7k. I was kinda refering to how rare the engines are to get your hands on, easily get a townace or lightace but would be too expensive for just the motor, so I am looking for just the motor.

 

Thanks for the info

Well KR townaces aren't exacty rare. I think the main reason why there isn't many around in corollas would just be the price of them!

Do a ring around of some commercial wreckers - Guys who wreck vans and trucks, but not neccessarally cars. You might have a lot more luck that way..... but still be prepared for a $1k+ price tag if you want say a complete 7ke with manifolds etc.

Having seen a properly converted 7K just recently I can tell you its not any easier. It is pretty cool for the WTF factor but if you're looking for the best power for the least effort, 4AGE still kicks the 7Ks arse.
