Decided on two engine options to swap into my Corolla, help me decide...

Either the 3.0 3VZGE from a Lexus:



Or the 3.5 5VZGE from the Hilux:



I'm sorta leaning towards the 3VZGE because I think it will rev happier... plus being that it's already in FF platform (I'm pretty sure) it will simplify some things (such as the intake manifold, using the Hilux manifold the intake piping would have to wrap around the back of the engine...), and it looks nicer too

What are the specs of these two engines.

X2 need a lil more info on them.

^^^
yeah that...

if the 3vzge (inline-right?) is a dohc thats pretty good. but a 4 cam v6 from the hilux is more capable of more higher end power and personally i think its stronger, but its your choice.
The 3vzge if it is an inline will produce more torque take a look at the 2ZGFE i think thats it comes from the new avalon. think about what you want more torque=inline dohc, wide power band and adequate torque= 4 cam v6 not sohc either way take your pick. take an avalon v6 they have more than adequate power and torque and are capable of producing much more.

Oh man, Good luck fitting those into your engine bay! Cannot wait to see the custom hood you have planned for that!

Want help?

damn that's sweet a rolla with a V6? holy mother of Jorge mon! can't wait to see this

i dont know off the top of my head, but i think that first engine is from es300 which is fwd

Doc, what corolla are we talking about? Year, model.

Both of these engines are quad cam V6 engines, the 3.5 from the Hilux is basically a stroked version of the first one. The car will be a totally stock-looking mid-90s Corolla or Geo Prizm (more likely). I'll get the specs on the engines.

Also I may very well be running a standalone on the engines if I can't get the ECU to behave (because it will be looking for an auto tranny).

I have a feeling that we're going to be seeing more of each other shortly...

wanna use my car as a guiney pig?

Sure!

HAHA now my Evil plan will unfold!!!! *thunder crashes* muahahaha, now I'll be able to smoke ricey peeps out here with a V6 ROLLA hehehe .... I bet they weren't expecting that hehe ... eh I'll keep dreamin on that one lol, I'm getting a 94 Corolla DX 5 spd for like 2 g's as a daily driver and as soon as I get that one me and my friend will drive up there and then u can take my car to test on , man and talkin about that now I remember about the 3s-gte swap.... hmmmmm *ponders*

how about mine? it needs a new engine and there is not one in there right now. j/k i will be investing in a new engine later.

You may have a V6 but there is a local guy here that has his 02 prizm fitted with a 350 small block, fuel injected. it hauls major a**. Plus i have seen 1.8 Rollas take out cars much faster than any person can anticipate.

I know I was playin lol IF I would ever fit a V6 motor I'd go with a 1JZ hehehe

I just want my Corolla to hit up around 400 whp and I don't think the current motor will do justice.... I don't THINK so I might be wrong. I talked to Doc hurr about a 3s-gte swap on the car but then it wouldn't be a Corolla it would be an MR2 pretty much just 4 door lol

haha

A V6 swap is much more feasible than a straight 6 (2JZGTE) swap. With a straight 6 you would need to make the car RWD.

.... hehehehehe that's D point Doc

and extend the front end if fitted into a 98-02 gen Rolla

Yeah but I wouldn't even try that, whereas the V6 I actually plan on doing one day

eh I dk which ever motor helps me get to 400+ WHP the fastest works for me

Twin Turbo and NOS Wet Shot, hehe

Nope 0% nitrous.... I intend not to blow myself up and keep my motor for longer lol.... it would be nice though but no Nitrous for me.... FURRR NOW! lol

LOL I had nos on my car when it gave out the second time. Ahh the rush i got from it was awesome even though it was short lived. 4days to be exact.

much respect to dr tweak for actually doing some serious engine work to corollas

stating the obvious lol but i felt the need to say it

X-ACTLY y I do not want to get Nitrous lol

3SGTE, one turbo, no N20

eh I guess 3S-GTE it is and I'll just keep my current motor and just rebuild it

My AW11 says your engine/drivetrain is still on the wrong end of the car.
