Re: 1990 corolla seca sx conversion
Looking to do alot of the work myself, to be over time project so bugget isnt set nut around $10k willing to spend, just a street car.
Re: 1990 corolla seca sx conversion
so do you want to keep the 4ag? go supercharged or turbo? or something else?
"horse" has a beams 3sge conversion for sale that with a small amount of work would fit into the seca quite well.

$10k will build you a killer 4A, leave change for suspension brakes and wheels, and save you the trouble of doing a conversion at all. Or as T says you'll wedge a BEAMS in with little hassle. If you really want something left-of-centre though, measure up a 2GR V6 from an Aurion, if you can squeeze one of them between the firewall and the grill you'll have a pretty mean little ride.

You could talk to Barry(Bazda) from Manon race Products about building an engine for you. He builds 4ag's to over 300kw.
Re: 1990 corolla seca sx conversion
This all sounds good lol but ultimately I want to do a lot of the work myself so I can learn as much as I can so I was thinking a 20 valve and putting a turbo and inter cooler setup so I'm not going too over my head unless I can find something better with not to much hassle for the install
Re: 1990 corolla seca sx conversion
I've done a little bit of research on the
3 Sge 5th gen and I noticed its a north east configuration and the 4 age is a east west is it hard to convert the engine bay to north west ?
Re: 1990 corolla seca sx conversion
North east will give you a really funny driveshaft angle. Maybe North South will be better. The reason I suggested Bazda is that if you want to do it yourself he can also sell you the parts needed to get the power you want. He has really pushed the limits of 4ag performance. If you go a 20v then get the Black top head and itb's then look at using a 7a block with Bazdas stroker kit to make a 9ag. He has options for naturally aspirated or turbo. Then you also have to consider what gearbox you will need to use and the clutch. Then you will need to upgrade the brakes and suspension to cope.
Converting a 5th gen to east west is a big project. Even just fitting a east west 3sg to a corolla is a massive task. Much better to go the 300+ kw turbo 7age or 9age.

ae92 4agze map base setup - then either upgrade the supercharger, or fit a turbo. pretty easy. superstrut brake setup will do the brakes nicely.
prob is 4agze frontcuts are getting rare and expensive..
fitting a fwd beams 3sge (gen4) into a seca will be pretty easy. I fitted one into an aw11 & it was not too difficult to do at all.
