    Maybe, but it would be a tight fit. And you would need a new transmission. The car would also end up being front heavy. hehe. With all that custom work to be done, it's more practical to just buy a tC. lol

    this is a blacktop, dual vvti. it's a little on the dirty side but still hot, redtop is 3rd gen 3s-ge and blacktop is 4th gen 3s-ge.

    depends on your application a 20v blacktop is waaaaaaay cheaper and easier than a 3s-ge blacktop and are way harder to find than a 20v, a 3s-ge will be harder to install than a 20v, and if you decide to go 3s-ge you'll pay more than you did for the car to get it done.

    Unless you swap in another newer or older corolla motor, it can no longer be called a corolla. And what's the point? The corolla chassis wasn't designed to handle that much power. You would need to do so much custom work to it that it's more practical to just buy a different car.

    Good luck to find the BEAM 3SGE. It's really rare (only in Altezza in japan) and really really expensive. 3SGTE is lots cheaper compare to them.
