Stuffing a 7MGTE in a Corolla

[Poodles]

1G isn't really any lighter...

i didnt see the car, but i once heard of a 7m-gte corolla that ran down the 1/4 mile, and when he came back, he was on 3 wheels, becasue the torque twisted the frame. I never saw i with my own eyes, thats just what i heard

1g-gte 2.0 L6 twin turbo + ae86 = SEX

no fitment issues either =)
also cures weight issue.

I thought of that one too but where can I find a 1g-gte?

http://www.aeu86.org/viewtopic/ae86/t/4636/postdays=0/postorder=asc/start=0 i am thinkin of the same swap as i have an extra motor.........

i dug up some forum info

yeah i read that already. Im still trying to figure out why he rewelded the motor mounts. because as far as i know i thought that the 7m would drop right in as far as motor mounts are concerned.

he also is using the 5m oil pump and pan, does anyone know if that will create problems in the long term for the 7m? someone told me i might starve the 7m of oil.

anyone?

look up the statistics on 5m vs 7m on the oil pumps.
