If you're gonna transplant anything into a Hachi, it should be a 20 valve AE111 engine. There are a lot of things that you don't see too often simply because it is not practical. If you want the greatest amount of success with the least amount of headaches, stick with what you know will work.

i'd be happy with either the 20V engine or the 4A-GZE
although the SR-20 is good because the weight is similiar between that and a 4A-GE

The reason Im asking is because after I get my 85 Corrola sedan I may want to swap out the 2T or 3T engine for a 4A-GE or somthing. Im just wondering how practical, how hard and how expensive it would be to do.

Super Panda The reason Im asking is because after I get my 85 Corrola sedan I may want to swap out the 2T or 3T engine for a 4A-GE or somthing. Im just wondering how practical, how hard and how expensive it would be to do. Shouldn't be too hard... unless you want like a 3SGE conversion, i hear they aren't the easiest, but only the later versions come in RWD so if you get an earlier one transmission might be hard but a 3SGE would be a bit costly so don't focus on that hehe I love my AE86 guide in my Drift Battle Magazine, it tells me all about the different types of engine conversions that are popular among AE86's

If only 86s came out here! crying
And I just heard that the government is trying to protect the auto industry here in South Africa. That would be fine if they didn't charge us South African's R180 000+ for a Toyota RunX and then export the same RunXs built here to Austrailia and charge them the equivilant of R90 000.
Cars here as soo over valued.
What makes things worse is that if you want to import from Japan, you pay somthing stupid like 100% tax on the car. Ironically certain cars, plus spares and shipping and the outragous tax would still be cheaper brought in. What some people do is have a friend in botswana or mozambeque regester it, and then they just drive it here.
...sigh sweatdrop . I wish I lived in a place where cars and parts where cheap

meh, taxes are huge on importing cars from Japan to the USA. A $40 thousand Skyline GT-R from Japan new ends up costing $120,000 in the states, but no worries, we get them in 2007! xd

Woot for 2007 GT-R!!! blaugh
WooT for 1000th post in the guild!!!! blaugh
Moving on, I think my dad is trying to steal my car from me. Lately, he's been buying a lot of parts for me, like coilovers and a stage II turbo kit.... It's kinda poking at my suspicions a lot, but until something really happens, I guess I'll just enjoy all the goodies I'm getting out of it 3nodding

The different stages just indicate the general horsepower capacity of a turbine. The higher the stage number, the more power output the turbine is capable of. As a stage II, my turbo has a maximum cap. of about 500 crank hp, but I don't think I'd run it any higher than about 450 or so because I want to be sure my head gasket doesn't blow (who'd have thought that the 2JZ-GTE's little brother was crappy when it comes to high boost sweatdrop ).

Oh ok, so would a stage one turbo be smaller, and spool up quicker. But not able to deliver as much boost?

Correct. The main thing that you want to consider is what RPM range you're working at. If your car is mainly street or road racing, you want a smaller turbo sothe boost is readily available from the mid and sometimes even the low range RPM's. If you're drag, just make sure your engine revs fast and gat the biggest suckin' turbo you can get to work in your block blaugh

Oh ok, that makes sence. Now since Im looking to get a 85 RWD corolla sedan with the 3T motor, and I want to tackle corners, grip or drift then I should get a stage I turbo that spools quickly. What turbo kit do you suggest. And how can I avoid the turbo spinning to fast that it spins off.
Aparently thats what happened when some one I knew slapped a Fiat Uno Turbo onto his Mini GTS.
