KE35 Corolla Conversion 1GGTE or 4AGTE?

[Brad-KE35]

G'day all,

I've been planning a 1G conversion in my car for quite some time now, I have Hilux diff, hydro clutch etc, and am keen to do a engine conversion, now I had my sights set on a 1G after being in my brothers 1G corolla he bought off Josh. But in terms of fitting the motor with ease the 1G looks like a really tight fit, and boy does it get hot under the engine bay of a 1G corolla! So what do you all reckon I should go? 1G or 4A? I am at least after 200+ kw. How hard would this be to achieve in a 4A?

Any thoughts or questions would be appreciated.

1 vote 4AG.

[Brad-KE35]

And what are your reasonings Shin?

[NeoNasty]

Vote 1 1G.

Already turbo. 2 liter 6 cylinder. Less fab work required, able to use the standard ECU.

Why do you want 200kW? Thats a lot for a little Ke35. You'll need good brakes, and suspension if your to use all that power.

*vote 1jz.

[Bananaman]

I vote 4A. Its taken you 8 years just to make the mounts for that, so changing to a 1G will just set progress back by another 15

[Brad-KE35]

Yeha I dunno why I picked 200Kw, just a number I had in my head, and don't worry I have brakes and suspension sorted! Thanks for your opinions Neo!

And Bananaman, what are you talking about lol? I'm confused!

[adamaw11]

Is it still gonna be a daily?

I vote 4A
still only 4 cyl rego
light enough car that lag shouldn't be that much of a problem if you want 200rwkw.
shouldn't upset the balance of the car front-end-weight wise.

Start with a 4agze so you don't have to go strenthening internals.

To be different, consider 3RZFE
-already a north-south engine
-still only 4 cyls
-2.7Ls to play with.

[Cuzzo]

is the 3rz legal?

I have the 4agte. Its a decent power maker without filling the whole bay up and being a PIA to work on the engine with it still in the bay.

You want a stack of power and want a FMIC sticking out there? Plenty of fabrication but atleast a w5* will bolt up, then go the 1GGTE.

[Brad-KE35]

Ah thanks guys! You have a W5x in your KE30 Cuzzo?

Cheers guys,

Brad

[Cuzzo]

yeah i do.

needed a nitespart bellhousing. exy but worth it.

[Brad-KE35]

Ah cool! Thanks man!

Hey Mr Bananaman, are you thinking of the wrong Brad?



Another vote for 4ag here.

[SillyCarS]

i vote the 3rzfe, i regret not doing it in my ra23 and i have a 1g

[Brad-KE35]

Yeah they seem like a good strong motor to turbo, have to look further down that path.

Thanks guys.

[dfunkt]

curly/rod has put a 3rz turbo into a ke38 wagon quite recently. pretty sure there's a thread in the members rides

Check with an engineer before going ahead with the 3rz, that is if you want it legal. I believe the biggest na engine you can legally put in a KE3x in NSW is 2.6L and with forced induction it's 2L.
3rz is 2.7L, correct?

[Cuzzo]

yep thats correct 3rz is a 2.7.

My 4agte is plenty quick enough for a ke30 street car. Ask bananaman.

But of corse if you want stacks of power go the 1g.

[Brad-KE35]

Yeah true, it's just after I drove Emp's Corolla you get hooked on the 1G powah! but it's a lil too powerful for my liking! So 4A will be more than enough!

I might pick your brains out Cuzzo about your 4AGTE! hehe.

[oldcorollas]

well, an NA 3RZ will have the (potential) torque and powahz of a 4A with 10-12psi of boost..... or a 1G/3S with 5psi boost..
you can also fit ITB and have wonderful NA sound


if you want boost, and you want 2L, a 3S seems hard to go by... 2L same as the 1G, smaller, easier to fit in bay, better weight distribution, still 4cyl, not that hard to convert to RWD, plenty of versions to choose from with up to about 195(?)kw and 325Nm torque from stock engine. add a few more pounds and 200kw at wheels is easy.

200kw from 4A is doable, but then it becomes a whole lot less drivable and more likely to break

[love ke70]

i love the 1g, but in all realities, 4a is the logical choice.

but if you use logic wouldnt you just buy something faster to begin with?

so really, do what floats your boat, theres not too much more work one to the other, so i would go with what you want.

handling will suffer with the 1g however, i never really had a drama with mine in the ke70
