how to put vvt-i engine in 98 corolla

Just out of curiousity.... what components would I need to be able to put a 2000-2002 engine with the vvt-i technology into a 98 corolla (mine). Would it work with the auto tranny I currently have? Would I have to swap out the engine harness?

I couldnt use the intake/exhaust manifold and throttle body from my 98 engine?

Buy engine cover from 00-02 rolla. lol

the engine for one you'll need both have different compression ratios but very minor, that , the sensors, complete wiring harness, yes you can use the intake and exhaust runners, but you need to convert thottle body. most importantly the ecu main and the wiring harness. basically the same just minor differences.

I thought about it.... but MAF get dirty X.x.... and perf go to hell...
and 5 more HP and minimum difference in torque ain't really worth it

unless you NEED a new motor, not worth 5hp

true. i did a motor swap but i went the other way around. took the one off my 98 and threw it into the 01. it did not last but for more than 4 days. i dunno why it just died.

dont you need new cams since the non vvti system just use regular cam. and dont you also need the vvti acutator.

it was still opertational regardless with or without the cams. the check engine light was on and a few of these systems were not connected but it worked fine until it (the car ) just stopped dead in its tracks.

yeah I need a new motor soon.... I know I should probably just get a new car but the body is still in good condition and I would hate to see it go to waste lol... plus putting a new engine in would be fun.. Im just going to get another used 98 engine

thats cool just as long as it receives a new heart. like mine did.
