Re: Engine Swap options
4AGE, no thanks.... The 4AGE is not a 3AC by looks, HP, TORQUE, etc... I can squeeze HP out of the 3AC. I don't want the Tercel to be a rice racer that has a 4AGE yet. If the 3AC doesn't work out, Ill sell it and get a 7A-GTE, even better than a 4AGE....

Re: Engine Swap options
You can spend all that work and effort on the 3a engine, and you still have done nothing to improve the 3a head's reliability. You will end up regularly replacing head gaskets, and sooner or later suck an exhaust valve and trash the whole engine (I have seen it happen even on stock 3a engines). The 3a head is the single biggest impediment to generating more power in the 3a engine.
The best way to make more power and get reliability out of the 3a engine is to put a 4age head on it (you would have a 3age). With the replacement of one assembly you gain power AND reliability, at less cost and effort than all the go fast improvements you might do to the 8-valve head. And if you really missed the carburetor you can get a weber manifold for the 4age head. You will also move the power curve down the rpm range with the 3a short block since the bore is smaller relative to the stroke as compared to the 4a short block.
Or for even less effort and expense, just drop in a whole 4age engine.
BTW, I am going to go see an early 4age from a Corolla GTS (he is parting out a wrecked one). According to the owner it has a six bolt crank at the flywheel, so I can put on my lightened 3a flywheel without modification. This will have the RWD intake manifold I want for the Tercel. If it is complete I want to get it. Hopefully he as all the EFI stuff for it too.
He also has the GTS rear axle assembly with the disk brake set-up. If it will fit, i am going to get that too so I can have a 4-wheel vented disk brake Tercel 4wd.
He also has a limited slip differential to go in it, does anyone know anything about putting a LSD in the rear of the Tercel? I have heard it will harm the fuel economy in a daily driver, but I have not seen that for myself. Also I know of no available LSD for the front diff on the Tercel, would there be any issues putting an LSD in the rear without one in the front?

Re: Engine Swap options
Remember who we are talking to.....
LSD will create some resistance cornering or with uneven tire pressures. In a straight line it should behave normally. So for town driving, yes it might take it down a bit.
He have a clutch style or gear style? The gear style is SOOO much better. Less efficiency loss as well. Go Torsen/TruTrac!
Having one out back and not in front might give you some strange cornering characteristics in snow and ice. Then again, all LSD's have strange characteristics in snow and ice.
I just had an opportunity to pick up a running GTS AE86 that needed a tranny for $800... That'd be worth the engine and axle alone, let alone the sweet seats and such it had in it... If only I had the money lol.
If I remember, the GTS axle takes minimal mods to fit. Remember, the diff is a half inch larger diameter as well, which adds a LOT of strength. But a 7" would be even more sweet. Let alone a MKIV Supra independant 8".... drool....
sorry. lol
The front brakes aren't vented... Did you do the MR2 conversion?
Just remember, you'll need a set of dual-lug 4x100/4x114.3 rims. Or whatever the Corolla and first and 2nd gen Supras and Cressidas have.
Lol. Silvers rotors are dark purple. Larger and vented would have been nice. Stopping from 112mph (or was it 113....) going downhill is rough on the Tercs brakes. lol. Never shook and rumbled like my Camry's do though.

Re: Engine Swap options
Guess i will skip the LSD for the Tercel.
I am planning on converting the front brakes to vented disks soon, I was going to install the Echo disks and calipers which i understand is a straight bolt-up conversion. Are the MR2 front brakes better? Those are common enough if it is an easy switch. After the front vented disks are installed, and I can score a rear axle that uses the disks, than I will have the ultimate brake set-up for the Tercel. With the 4-wheel disks, better seats and the 4age engine, I guess I would then have a Tercel GTS 4wd!
The stock front disk are really pathetic, one long stop coming down a hill warped mine. they used the same flimsy brakes on these heavier 4wd wagons as they did on the sedans and hatch backs. They should have known better, even my daughter,s 2-seat '86 CRX, which is 600 lbs lighter, has vented front disks, better than these 5-seat 4wd wagons.

Re: Engine Swap options
hey what about one of these:
http://www.fnfmotors.ca/JDM-Engine-4E-F ... oyota8.htm
It is a out of a JDM tercel dont really know to much about the 4E-FTE other that it is turboed. But it is small 1.3L so it may work.
Any ways just a thought.

Re: Engine Swap options
ok more info
[edit] 4E-FTE
The 1st generation 4E-FE was the basis of the 4E-FTE, appearing in 1989, which was a turbocharged engine producing 135 hp at 6400 rpm with 116 ft·lbf (157 N·m) of torque at 4800 rpm. The 4E-FTE was the most powerful of the E series engines ever produced. It was produced exclusively for the Toyota Starlet GT Turbo (Japan Only) and its replacement, the Toyota Glanza V (Japan only). However the 4E-FTE was a very popular conversion engine by enthusiasts for many small Toyota cars such as the Corolla and Tercel, which it fitted into with standard Toyota parts. The 4E-FTE differed internally from the 4E-FE only by its stronger connecting rods, lower compression pistons and different head gasket. It also features a harmonic damper instead of a normal crankshaft pulley. The turbocharger fitted to the 4E-FTE was Toyota's own CT9 which featured an internal waste gate and had 2 modes; low (0.4 bar/40 kPa) and high (0.65 bar/65 kPa) boost. The low boost mode was electronically controlled by a solenoid valve and the ecu and the overall or high boost was controlled by the actuator connected to the turbocharger. The 4E-FTE also had a "Top mounted", air cooled, intercooler. The 4E-FTE was mated to the Toyota C150 transmission or the optional C151 transmission which featured an LSD. Although aftermarket parts could substantially increase the power output of the engine, the major limitation is the fuel injection system, which tends to run too lean, even when the fuel cut-off is disabled (as one urban legend suggests).
Specs:
74 mm Bore
77.4 mm Stroke
8.2:1 Compression Ratio
So A little more power than I thought. however there is a the:
4E
The 4E is a 1.3 L (1331 cc) DOHC version. Bore was 74 mm and stroke 77.4 mm. Output ranged from 81 hp (60 kW) at 6400 rpm to 99 hp (74 kW) at 6600 rpm with 81 ft·lbf (110 N·m) of torque at 3600 rpm to 6 ft·lbf (8.1 N·m) of torque at 5200 rpm. It appeared in 1989, and was discontinued after 1998. The 4E engines appeared in fuel-injected applications
Applications:
Toyota Starlet EP81, EP82, EP85, EP91, EP95
Toyota Tercel
Toyota Corolla
[edit] 1st Gen 4E-FE
The first generation of 4E engines found in the Starlet GI and Soleil models were produced from 1989 until 1996 the engine found in these two models obtained power figures of 99 bhp (74 kW) @ 6600 rpm and 86 ft·lbf (117 N·m) @ 5200 rpm. this engine had more in common with the 4efte sharing the same throttle body, and slightly larger injectors.
Specs:
74 mm Bore
77.4 mm Stroke
9.6:1 Compression Ratio
and the:
2nd Gen 4E-FE
The 2nd Generation of the 4E-FE was introduced in 1996 producing less peak power: 85 bhp (63 kW) @ 5500 rpm, but with a slight increase in peak torque 87 ft·lbf (118 N·m) at 4400 rpm. The 2nd generation of the 4E-FE was essentially the same engine as the 1st but the inlet and exhaust manifolds were changed along with a slight alteration of the ecu in order to try and reduce emissions.
Specs:
74.3 mm Bore
77.4 mm Stroke

A 4"E"FE is an "E" family. No easy mount-up.

Re: Engine Swap options
well so I guess my dreams of putting a 2AD-FHV in a 94 corolla wagon is doomed. Oh well Yea I was looking at on of the little 1.4L 1N something would be great for the tercel. However at some point mounting is just too rough, not to mention trying to find one.
Re: Engine Swap options
Heh. You could always try to make an early pickup diesel engine fit. Mounting adapter and a spacer perhaps?

Re: Engine Swap options
yea the 2.2 L would work, I think that is just too much torque. Do you have any idea what this series on engine is from:
1984 - C Third gen. - SOHC
1984-1992 - 1.8 L (1839 cc) 1C
1984-2000 - 2.0 L (1974 cc) 2C
1994-2002 - 2.2 L (2184 cc) 3C
If they are out of a truck then yea the 1.8l 1c might do it.

Re: Engine Swap options
The 1C was a transverse Corolla engine in the 80's. Not sure otherwise. Try Wikipedia-ing Toyota C engine
The "L" 2.2 (1L)
62HP, 93ft/lb torque.
So that'd result in essentially a similar speed Tercel, just with better crawl and acceleration. Maybe better economy as well. Could always go 2L and get 72HP, 115ft/lb. 2.4L
Or, if it would fit,
1VD-FTV..... BWA-HAHA! 4.5L DOHC V-8 twin-turbo diesel. Rawr. 465PS@3400RPM and 480ft/lb@1200RPM.
Again, I say RAWR.
lol
The "L" 2.2 (1L)
62HP, 93ft/lb torque.
So that'd result in essentially a similar speed Tercel, just with better crawl and acceleration. Maybe better economy as well. Could always go 2L and get 72HP, 115ft/lb. 2.4L

Re: Engine Swap options
yea the 2L sounds good
Did Toyota ever produce factory diesel trucks for North America?
Yes. Toyota introduced diesel trucks for North America in 1981. The 1981-1983 models were available with the 2.2L "L" (or "1L") normally aspirated engine. In 1984, this was replaced by the 2.4L "2L" engine. For 1985 and 1986, both the 2L and a turbo charged 2L-T engine were available. Toyota dropped all diesel options for USA after the 1986 model year, but they continued as options for Canadian trucks through 1988.
also alot of engine importers get the 2LII's and 2LII-T's out of corollas that have different mounts and oil pans. Alot of the guys swaping 2L in toyota trucks run in to issues with this. anyways yea
