Rhysw88 Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Just picked up a 1982 xt130 corona and doing an engine change to a 4cyl turbo of some sort, can anyone help with a few pointers on what engine would be the go? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATOYOTA Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Try one of Toyota's R engines. 18R/22R seem pretty popular, although overshadowed by the likes of SR's and 4A's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiro Protagonist Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 What engine is in yours? XT130 would imply the 1X/Holden Start-a-fire, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 XT130 would imply the 1X/Holden Start-a-fire, no? Yes, but I wanted to double check. I would keep the starfire in it and throw some boost on. Starfire rods are meant to be the strongest rods compared to the 186 etc. if it blows then move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhysw88 Posted July 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Sorry guys my internet has been playing up, yea its a dirty old starfire that barely runs, i know pretty much any engine i go with will be ALOT of modifying (engine, gearbox mounts etc) but I'm willing to give it a go just to be different, also chasing a drv side guard and bonnet if anyone has any Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
