2e To 1n-t Conversion

March 18, 2003

It is decided, I am gona start on searching on a 2nd hand engine and all the required parts for an engine change.

Currently the car has the 2E (with oval cyclnders - worn out, on 170,000+km (and malta is all up and down hills)).

I want to put one of the 1.5 Turbo Diesel engines that come from japan, at times in the Tercel/Corsa/Corolla II cars.

I was told by someone else on the forum that this is a 1N-T, is this right?

Also if so, what do you guys think of the idea?

Also i was told (localy) by my friend that his friend, got one with an intercooler and increast the pressure of the turbo, and got a devil of a car.

Obviously the car would be slower then when that engine is used in those light tercels, but I was told in my current corolla it would be faster at acceleration then with the current 2E, but prolly suffer a drop in top speed, also what do you guys think of its weight displacment? Also those tend to come with an AT, could i keep my current MT or would i need an equivelant MT?

(I'll keep you guys updated if i get any new info) ;)
