Mr Hardware Posted August 8, 2005 Report Posted August 8, 2005 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.

Super Jamie Posted August 8, 2005 Report Posted August 8, 2005 there's an ST142 in the current zoom with a CA18DET in it, with 163kw at the wheels. total stock looking sleeper :y: Quote
Teddy Posted August 8, 2005 Report Posted August 8, 2005 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. Quote
Super Jamie Posted August 8, 2005 Report Posted August 8, 2005 those W40s and W50s are the steel case toyota box all the drag car rotor buys use. they handle 300+kw no problems Quote
TOMsGPTurbo Posted August 8, 2005 Report Posted August 8, 2005 Toyota did make a 8v 4cyl Turbo Corona, however finding one alive now days is liking finding the Yeti :y: Quote

Redwarf Posted August 10, 2005 Report Posted August 10, 2005 Just out of interest, there is an Avante at Kelly's in BNE at the moment, however, it's missing the mags... :jamie: Quote
Super Jamie Posted August 10, 2005 Report Posted August 10, 2005 i know the guy who has them tho :jamie: Quote
Mr Hardware Posted August 11, 2005 Author Report Posted August 11, 2005 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? Quote
demuire Posted August 11, 2005 Report Posted August 11, 2005 Do a search on Google, I suspect the Helene and Matti page will probably have it. Quote
Super Jamie Posted August 11, 2005 Report Posted August 11, 2005 (edited) a 22R has 103hp and 193 somethings of torque, search for hilux pages in america, these are popular 4x4 engines Edited August 11, 2005 by Super Jamie Quote
