hi guys im thinking of performing the darkest of engine conversions, that being any kind of toyota engine.
im just checking if anybody on here has put a toyota 4age 20valve blacktop engine in their 1200.
when i do im going turbocharged(it will be street registered), so does anybody know if clearance is an issue?
thanks for that, kurt
p.s. i know im evil for even thinking of this

Pretty sure theres info in the WIKI on this it has been done. Have you got all the motor etc to do it ? we may have a complete corolla for sale with all the motor and wring etc Soon.

yeah ive got a mate with a 4age 16v bottom end (which is the same) and a coupe with no engine, so one weekend when i get bored ill get round to trying to figure it all out. but no i dont have an engine, but i would have to make my own loom, because converting from dissy to crank angle sensor so that i dont have to hack into the firewall to fit it.
what type of corolla and how much anyway?

Mate we would have to blow the dust off it and get it running again its been sitting for a month or so. Its a Twin cam hatch back 1.6 from memory. As far as cash goes would be more like make an offer its a complete car man. could just put tyres on it and give it a detail for rego. pretty sure it dosent need anything else. PM ME if ya serious. Dizzy to Crank angle sensor Mate you still have a dizzy with crank angle sensor. To my knowledge Never seen a car with just a crank angle sensor and no dizzy

yeah my mate has one of those its the 16valve version a ae82 fwd by the sound of it. im interested in the 20 valve version (jap import only in the ae111 a blacktop version), sorry im in lala land tonight i ment cam angle sensor not crank angle, sorry

Oh dont get me wrong im no mechanic or GURU especially on these newer type setups. With ya on LA LA Land i think i was born there.

most cars with crank angle sensors dont have dizzys, alot of cars however have cam angle sensors inside there dizzys
CAs RBs and VGs have just a cam angle sensor no dizzy, same with SRs

What about Tyrie? He's got one.

VL's have a dizzy and Crank angle sensor

yeah ive already pmed tyrie, he was most helpful. and the engine im talking about has a completly diferent head to the one on tyries car, 5 valves per cylinder, on the engine i want to put in versus 4 valves per cylinder on tyries, plus 4 thorttle bodies against single efi manifold. so bigger head and more induction size.
