Engine 3sgte

I know a guy who did his swap for around $8,000. Although it was on a Celica, it still had an "A" series engine which Corollas carried. I'm pretty sure 98 Corollas still had "A" series engines. Here's a pic of the estimate he got for the work:

3S-GTE in a 98 Corolla?
yes, it has been done before and i've seen it in person,
500hp 98 Corolla build by EL Prototypes, here is the picture.

oh.. also, 98 corolla has 1ZZ-FE engine, so it's not A series.

Crap...one moment i hear 98 Corollas had 1ZZ engines, then theres a debate stating that they didn't come with 1ZZ, and now you're telling me that they came with it. Oy!

Anywho, since it's a ZZ engine series. Look at it to be around 10K. It's been done on a 1ZZ-FE Celica who's pushing more than 500HP on the 3S-GTE.

Edit: Oh and if you do end up getting it, traction issues and torque steer are included free of charge.

yea.. it's 1ZZ-FE for sure... i know because i own a 98 corolla before i bought my 04 Corolla.. the only different is 98-99 Corolla does not have VVTi and the 00+ has..

3sgte

I have a 98 Corolla as you all know and what would I need to make a 3SGTE fit on my car??????

bout 10k

at least that's what toysport charges. A 3sgte would be pretty tough because not only is it a 2.0L, but also, it's a completely differnt family, meaning lots and lots of fabrication. I don't know much about this, hopefully someone else can answer this for you, otherwise check out www.toyotanation.com/forum

yea some ppl have told me that I could have a 3SGTE engine in there but that it would take a lot of money and shit........I was gonna do a 2ZZGTE swap or just keep the 1ZZ-FE but they won't hold much boost or not at least as much as I'd like lol but thanks for the info man

I thought all 1ZZ-FE's came with VVT-i. Oh well, learned something new.

in the US the 98+ all have ZZ motors.... across seas in other lands, this isn't true... some came with A series motors, some came with ZZ, and some even came with E series engines

that being said.... from what i remember reading on corolla-racing.com about someone who was doing it in a post 97 corolla.... there's only 1 mount that needs to be fabricated....

DAAAAMN NICE!!!!! That's the kind of power I want to get out of my Rolla shit now we are talking, well I'm looking to spend around like 20 G's in the Corolla so I hope that's more than enough to make it run fast............I wonder how much did it cost them to do that though..

like 02rsx said..about 10k

yea I know that but I meant with like all the internals done and all that mumbo jumbo? I heard that the axles have to be reforced too so I'm wondering how much it would be FOR EVERYTHIN and I mean EVERYTHING to have this Corolla running right

damn tight, so with like 17 G's it would be more than great lookin and fast as a motherfrick, shit that's all I wanted to hear. I'm going to e-mail them and see what they say and if they can do it then I'll roll down there to have it done. Thanks for the help guys appreciate it big time

yeah, i'm pretty sure that includes axles and all. e-mail them about it if u're serious, i mean might as well start shopping around now

i believe you want to use a celica 5sfe FWD tranny and the camry v6 axles....

and $10k..... someone's never been to a pull-a-part

well I won't do much Lekz, I'll just put basics on so it at least looks good lol and maybe throw in some extra custom sound/video stuff.

ELP corolla looks ghetto. Looks like the radiator is barely hanging in there. Just, the setup doesn't look right. Also someone posted "ELP" was mad at corolla owners. Well due to lack of advertisement and doing things right, that is there own damn fault.

hmmmm u have not one but 2 supra TT's and the very sexy 1000cc R1 yet u want to fix up your rolla?

oh, i'm not saying that u can't do it cheaper, i'm just saying that that's what toysport would charge.

omg, the blind leading the blind..

this thread is useless

hahaha, so true

well I guess it is useless meh fuck it I guess I'll just save myself money and just build the Corolla for show purposes lol

actually, joel... as i said above someone on corolla-racing.com did it and left a pretty distinct explaination of what's got to be done.....

uh huh..

and was that you?

have you done the swap?


hehe.. didn't think so..

the blind leading the blind..

which would end up being even more expensive...

here you go...... don't be an ass, joel... lol, i have a decent memory of what i read:

http://www.corolla-racing.com/scrip...379003;sta rt=

wasnt' trying to be an ass.. my point was.. we here at vvti.net have NO DIRECT experience installing the 3SGTE in a ZZ corolla..

the blind leading the blind.

that's why i have no advice for anyone on this thread. because i have no idea what this swap entails.. i could tell you what OTHER people have told me, who also haven't done the swap, but have heard of other people who know someone who TRIED to do the swap...

you get what i'm saying?

Save yourself the frustration and buy the 3sgte already installed in a car..:
