Engine rebuilt or other options

ok so i was talking it over with my mom and a fix is prob gonna cost to much my neighbor said it would cost a lot to fix. she wants to forget the fix but im still on it now i found this site who sells a kit to i guess rebuild the 1zzfe motor the whole like 800 w/shipping
Parts included in these master engine rebuild kits are: Pistons, rings, main and rod bearings, thrust washers (if applicable), jack shaft bearings (if applicable), cam bearings (if applicable), camshaft(s), lifters (if applicable), freeze plugs, gasket set, complete timing kit, and oil pump. http://www.rpmrons.com/Toykits.html

now i realize this is a lot becuase one i need to remove the motor first and then strip it and install all the new parts idk how much this would cost to do i wish i could do this myself but the problem is i need my car and i dont have the time or resources to do this which sux need some thoughts. my mom said we might look into another car but want some opinions on what i should do

Listen to your mom. Get a new car. Engine rebuilds aren't fast or cheap. Labor is going to rape you. It's just not worth it. It would be cheaper to buy a new 1ZZFE and drop it in.

Unless you do everything by yourself, otherwise the it will cost your at least $2000 to rebuild the engine.

just use that money and put a down payment on a new corolla if u like the corolla so much .. if not choose a different car .

so little update as much as i will miss my corolla im gonna have to part with it were prob gonna shift the cars. im gonna get my dads xb my dad is gonna get my moms sienna and my mom may get a new car. if it stays like that ive got a lot of supping up of the xb to do and ripping out of my audio system in my rolla, thats gonna be fun. so i guess well see what happens, were looking at a new highlander for my mom but maybe not it will ultimately up to my dad

I love the xB. It's so roomy for such a small car. It also has a lot of potential. I would gladly trade my car for one. You wanna trade?

Do It Bro, Trade It!!!!!

My friend has one and I love it. First thing to do would be to swap in a 1ZZFE and get the CarverCharger for it.

Downgrade from a rolla to a xb is not fun.

makes me sad ... downgrading is never good .. =\ .. but look on the bright side .. basically a new car ..

yah i know its sad i do like the xb but i miss the power my rolla had o well have to spend some money to get that power back in my hands. prob gonna get an injen cold air/short ram intake and do some suspension work. then in a little while maybe upgrade to a supercharger from greddy for 2500 which will put it up there with the 2zz motor around 165-170hp woot should be cool but not everything is final yet and ill have to figure out what were gonna do sooner than later.

I would rather have a Toyota Yaris 2 door (Vitz) rather than an xB. more parts available for the yaris and with the manual gear box, that thing is really fun to drive..

lol you're so into the carvercharger lately.

That's because it's the first real bolt on modification for the Corolla! LOL And it took only what?... 10 years? HAHAHHA

so that supercharger is really goina happen?

lol yeah but i'd rather get a turbo tho but thats just me.

as much as i would love to have ur car its very nice its not mine its my dads and he doent even want me to do anything to it cause he thinks thats what fucked up my car which isnt ture.

yea my dad alway say the same thing when something goes wrong with the car.

But back to the subject, i dont see why cant you just drop another low milage 1ZZ engine in. These engines can be had for way less than a thousand.

It's going to be ultimately up to you to decide whether or not it's worth the investment of installing a new motor. Some would think it's worthwhile, while others would call it a waste of money. It's your car.

2x

yah i know my mechanic only gets engines from a few places and the ones in my area arent included so idk what id be able to get around here and idk what kind of condition it will be in. as much as i prob could i dont have the tools, location or time to drop in a new motor which sux ass. i was hoping it wouldn cause a prob and could hold off till the summer but i dont think its gonna happen so well have to see what my mechanic says when he opens it up to see what he can see without ripping the whole thing apart.

where are you located anyways? You could drop a engine with a jack, a cherry picker and a couple of wrenches.

im locted in ct in usa if anyone near there would love an opinion about it and i would love the xrs i would kill to have one but not an option right now maybe when im done with college. or w/e the engine in my rolla blows up knock on wood.

just get a 10th gen xrs

same thing as i was thinking ... Get the 10th gen and put a turbo to it .. prolly be making at least 200hp .. and probably 200 torque ..

go kill the owner of this forum and i'll buy you a new 2009 Corolla XRS!! lol jk

yo id be down with that lol me and my bud would help lol. it would be fun but as much as i wish i could and would love an xrs it would leave to much of a blood trail and i really dont want that right now lol
