July 6, 200620 yr comment_127225 Hi, I happen to be reading some where on the net that the old KEXX series corolla was released with a diesel motor in it. I was wondering is this true and if so are they rare to pick up? Also does anyone know if the liteace that used the K series motor ever came with a diesel motor if it did can we place this into our corollas if they didn't have a diesel motor from the factory?

July 7, 200620 yr comment_127325 what was the poitn of that? ive never heard of a old rolla with a diesel in it which likely makes it rare as a woman you can trust and that link you posted says "New diesel corolla 96 engine" cameron, maybe tell us where you heard of the diesel corollas. and, it wouldnt be a KE anyway as a K block couldnt take the compression of a diesel Report
July 7, 200620 yr Author comment_127339 Hi, The main reason is that I would love to make a corolla diesel powered and do it up as something different. As I was initally looking to sell my KE30 and get a gemmini diesel. But then at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Corolla I saw there was a diesel corolla made in the years between 1984-87 with a diesel motor and the motor was a 1C. This was the first generation of rolla to see the diesel motor (it was fifth gen of rolla but) and in the sixth gen it also saw this motor. But this time it was the 1C-III and made 67HP I know a K block could not handle the compression of a diesel but can we get one of the 1C motors and work it into a KEXX corolla? As the 1C motor produced 58HP and was 1.8L in displacement. I would thing for an engine change like this you would need to strengthen the front end of a rolla to handle the added weight of the motor but also the torque created by a diesel. Thanks Cameron Report

I was wondering is this true and if so are they rare to pick up? I saw there was a diesel corolla made in the years between 1984-87 with a diesel motor and the motor was a 1C. This was the first generation of rolla to see the diesel motor seeings as the last KE was made in 84 then i doubt the old KExx had a diesel in it. so u answered your own question Also does anyone know if the liteace that used the K series motor ever came with a diesel motor if it did can we place this into our corollas if they didn't have a diesel motor from the factory? i don't know, but it wont match the mounts coz its not gonna be a K block why are you getting excited about 58 horsepower mate? a 4k makes more than that at the fly when fresh... gonna strenghten it with rivets? :dance: Report

July 7, 200620 yr Author comment_127365 Hi, I know in the photo it isnt a geminni but I was thinking of buying one. I want a diesel mainly for economy and torque not brute power. IF I wanted that I could get my uncels 16L worm V8 diesel motor with twin turbos and a super charger on it to power the rolla as he is selling it right now :dance: So I was mainly looking to know has anyone done an engine change or something like this guy has at that web page in an old style corolla and can they take it? cameron Report
