some Q's about XT14X coronas

**Johnzoku** · 23-01-2008, 09:44 AM

still having a look around at the moment... havnt come accross an RT142 close enough and ideal enough jsut yet so i was thinking.

apart from the ST version's comming with BW diff's and gear box's (and lamer tail lights) is there anything else that makes them worse off to the RT versions?

would a 1st or 2nd gen 3SGE go in with realative ease? the mounts, sump, bellhousing's already there... capacity isnt changing... just doesnt have EFI.

what would i need to find? clutch and flywheel, RWD conversion parts? maybe even twin side drafts?

the way i see it is there seams to be a heap of ST's around making cheep gearbox's and diffs for just incase they blow up.

As the ST141, RT142, RA60, have the same chassis go with the ST as you will only be upgrading it any way...

As for parts :-
RA60/5 front brakes.
RA60 "T" diff' inc. tail shaft & sway bar as 60's is biger than the 141/2's.
RT142's rear disc's.
RA65 or RT142 EFI fuel tank.
SA63 gear box.

No. Have a good read of one of the many threads dealing with RWD 3S conversions, you'll soon realise it's a big headache and way more effort/expense than you'd think.

well i already have

Z10 front and rear brakes.
Z10 soarer front and rear swaybars... not as large as the ma61's (1 or 2mm smaller in dia.) but im sure there bigger than the st141's and i think ma61's are slightly bigger than ra60 ones anyway?
z10 efi fuel tank.

then i just need
RA60 'T' DIFF
and SA63 gearbox tailshaft.

can i run the std. fly/clutch with the W box or do i need to change that over as well?

norbie... ill have a search thru

ahh fantastic! looks like ill be reciving one this weekend, an RT142 with 22RE and live axle.

im still planing on using what i said in the post above ^^^ but for thoes of you that have fitted other sway bars from supras and soarers, did you have any problems with clearance and fitting? i read mr muiltvalve had to get a custom sump made but im guessing thats because of the 1ggte (which is quite a nice bit of kit to see in person).

does the corona have commone seat rails with any other toyota's? ae86's or more supra/soarers?

and last one, if changing from BW diff to T serise diff do i have to change the rear half of the tail shaft as well?

thanks for info in advance and in apperication heres some pic's of sexy rona's
