July 18, 200620 yr Author comment_129188 well if its 4.8litres n/a then ill be alright. Ill make a few enquirys this week. Report
July 19, 200620 yr comment_129401 id be more worried about the sacrifice in handling myself...the v6 being alot heavier than a 4k, it would be quite hard to get it to handle right.On the other hand, even the stock motor will be bloody quick! i have thought of doing this myself actually, go for it, it will be very different, keep us updated on the progress! It handles just fine, this one has standard KE55 brakes, it stops fine, it doesn't drive much different to any other corolla I have driven, with one exception....it strangely goes around in circles when the accelerator is mashed into the floor :hammer: Report
July 20, 200620 yr comment_129484 Theres an orange ke30ish two door I keep seeing at Calder Park. I havent seen it race but it does bloody well in the burnouts! It gets driven there and they throw some 13inch stockies on it and have a ball, then they drive it home. Report
July 20, 200620 yr comment_129502 i think the vn v6 only made 121kw, the vs made something around the 140kw mark, the vy only makes 170, the vs was a different engine than the vn (not huge amounts but small improvements) the vs to vy engines are basicly the same Report
July 20, 200620 yr Author comment_129535 yeah the VS ecotec has undersized pistons compared to the VN. Thats why I'm staying away from that one just encase i wanna slap a charger on in the future. Report
July 22, 200620 yr comment_129814 go for it mate,ive dropped in a 308 in mine...and id say all the losers that put it down are still dreaming at the keybourd!!!!!! it makes me laugh to read all the wannabes put down and take piss out of someone willing to drop in a v6 into a corolla,give it a go and let us know how you went..

July 22, 200620 yr comment_129879 Give the conversion a shot. In reality its only a Corolla and its only a Commonwhore engine... What have you got to lose. Do it, if you don't like it, palm it off. Simple... Like what madtoy said, just do it. Watch the keyboard warriors stop talking shit and prove them wrong... it might be all good to put a SR20det or 4agze into a Corolla, but sometimes thats out of the budget for some people... In other words, go for it mate :hammer: go for gold Report
July 23, 200620 yr Author comment_129931 honestly i really appreciate the positive feedback from u guys. Report
July 23, 200620 yr comment_129992 Since my friends car already has one in it...if you need to know anything...ask away Report
July 23, 200620 yr comment_129998 How did your friend go with fitting the V6 engine and gearbox in; was it a bit of a tight squeeze. Have any photos of it? Report
July 23, 200620 yr comment_130006 He didn't put it in, but yes it's a stupidly tight fit....and I have heaps of pics. I have already posted some on this site, but will post more when I can be bothered :P Report
