1.8vvti-l Engine, swop Options

[etihad]

hello,

Just wondering, i was over at a garage yesterday getting my spoiler fitted, and was told by the mechanic there that they have 2 T-sport engine's, brand new (iam guessing reconditioned). But the thing is, is it actually poss to drop one off these beasts into any corolla, obviously iam talking 02-06 plate. Would you need to get a whole new gear system or does nothing need changing?

You'll need a 6 speed gearbox.... ECU... poss other items but i'm not 100% sure on those....

Be a definate sleeper car if you did that tho

[jonnnnnnnnnnnno]

I want to do this to my corolla!!!
If you do this let me know know how you get on.
And how much is he selling them for?

I hav a tsport ecu if ur willing to make me a good offer, I'm still deciding if to put the tsport ecu bak into d car bcos d car doesn't feel as quick with the compressor ecu I hav on my car now, even the tuner said if he had a choice of the 2 ecus he wud of left d tsport ecu in

I never actually asked him for the price, becuase i wasn't considering it, but you can get one on ebay, and they will fit it in for you!

if i put the t-sport ecu in a 1.4 corolla, will that make a diff?, and more importantly is it possible?


does anyone know where i can get the corolla compressor back bumper, with the 2 whol's for the exhaust?

thanks.

I highly doubt it because the 1.4 is a different engine. The CTSC is the same 2zz but with a roots supercharger. So they are interchangable, but not so with the 1.4 because it doesn't even have lift. The ECU would be trying to engage cams that don't exist!

lol, thought so....daaaammmeee i want a compressor!!!!, anyone want a 1.4 corolla 06 with 23k miles full service history??? lol

So can you do a full engine swap or not?

sum 1.4 do have lift sooo not really a problem. you would be better with the ecu for a 1.8 swap for the proper performance.. like a 1.4 isnt going to use as much fuel as a 1.8 and could make the car run slightly lean with the 1.4 ecu. am away to do the 1.8 vvti swap into my 1.4 vvti. aparently the looms are the same for the engine and mounts. any engine can go into any car if you really want it to

[etihad]

hmm, iam not really fond with these engine swaps, becuase i would never get over the fact that the engine will run like an actual t-sport that has come out from the factory at toyota, dunno that maybe me :S:S

Eh?!

1.4's DO NOT HAVE LIFT!!

VVT-i Vs VVTL-i

Only the T Sport's have Lift!!

That's exactly what I wanted to say but I know almost nothing of other Toyota engines so I stayed shhtum!

[etihad]

well, on my engine, when i get past 4000RPM i can feel the engine pull more, i wouldn't say it's the lift, but maybe the "VVTI" kicking in?

I got 23000miles on my clock, does anyone know if the engine has still not opened? becuase acouple of times i have taken the rev to 6000rpm, deff have not redlined it!!, so just wondering has this caused it any damage, havn't noticed anything, runs perfect, but just wondering becuase it's still low milage.

That is just a change in the VVT-i timings.... this happens in all VVT-i engines....

Lift is only available in the VVTL-i engines found in the Celica & Corolla T Sport's

yeah thought so
