Hi All,

 

My brother is looking for a car and just wants some specs on a Toyota Corona. He is looking at the 84-87 models (T142 i believe the model is). Does anyone know what sort of motor they use? I know they mainly had 2.0L motors but some CSI/Avante models had 2.4L's. He wants a corona particularly cos its rear wheel drive and he wants something a bit bigger than a corolla, but still a legendary toyota.

 

Does anyone have any ideas about what motors these cars had, and whether they were carby/efi, powerful or not (kw), good on the fuel etc etc.

 

Cheers

 

oh and i have googled but my search didnt come up all that fruitful.

The later Avante's also had IRS....

there's an ST142 in the current zoom with a CA18DET in it, with 163kw at the wheels. total stock looking sleeper :y:

its ashame ALOT of them were Autos.. apparently the manual box's are f_r_e_k_i_n strong.. for what they are.

 

The auto's make them slugs.. well, autos make any car a slug.

those W40s and W50s are the steel case toyota box all the drag car rotor buys use. they handle 300+kw no problems

Toyota did make a 8v 4cyl Turbo Corona, however finding one alive now days is liking finding the Yeti :y:

good old TT1** - had a 3TGTEU engine, came in coupe form.

 

there was also sedans and wagons with the 3T-C engine.

:y:

cheers fellas

gee i love rollaclub

Just out of interest, there is an Avante at Kelly's in BNE at the moment, however, it's missing the mags... :jamie:

i know the guy who has them tho :jamie:

ST142 came with the 2S-C which is a 2 litre Carby Engine.

 

RT14x (Avante models) came with the 22R-C or 22R-E

does anyone know the power/torque specs for either of these motors?

Do a search on Google, I suspect the Helene and Matti page will probably have it.

a 22R has 103hp and 193 somethings of torque, search for hilux pages in america, these are popular 4x4 engines
