Engine Anyone seen a 1mz swap into an 8th gen rolla?

Cant seem to find much, im just bored outa my mind since im sick and cant sleep.

Im still waiting for this to happen.....never seen one

Well, I don't have a 8th gen but I have a 95 Corolla with a 3mzfe 3.3L V6 swap in progress.

Yeah it's possible I'm sure. I was going to do it but I decided to put a 1mz into my mr2

Someone in Puerto Rico did a 2gr V6 swap in a Yaris but there's also an 8th gen on the background with the same engine . They hide things from us, lol!

Yeah. PR is the home of people who actually do swaps they say they are going to do.

Not like here in the US. Nothin but dreamers here

I'm making mine real, still waiting for my MR2 turbo axle shaft/stub and ST185 Alltrac half shafts before I do a test fit and make a passenger side mount. I'm using an E153 from a Solara for my engine application. It'll be a beast!

Why not just cut you corolla shaft in half and and connect it to the 3mz engine side by welding a sleeve over the 2?

Cause the parts I mentioned above works and bolt on to the car. The stock Corolla shafts cannot handle the amount of torque the engine will produce. The 3mzfe engine from the Sienna I bought is is rated with 230hp/242tq.

Pretty sure theres boosted corollas pushing more torque than that on stock shafts, but the way i suggested is also the cheap way to do it.Your way is better and more reliable.

That's true, I did see boosted Corollas with factory axles. Why don't you try a 1mzfe swap on yours? It'd be awesome on a stock looking 8th gen. You get a donor Solara V6 5 speed of the same year and make it work and take some emissions equipment if necessary to make it street legal. Just saying

I'd love to but im broke and dont have a good welder, im looking to goto college first so i can get a job that pays good so i can build toys like this.

That is the ONLY way to do it.

Exactly, for now with this peasant job i'll have to settle for the excitement of regular maintenance, replacing all 4 struts and maybe doing the rings and updating drilling more oil holes in my pistons.

Hella Ouch. Like papercut Ouch

I made some progress and still similar to a 1MZ. Some OBX headers to go with my build ;-)

Those must be a new version of the OBX headers. I have OBX headers too and they don't look like that
