Re: Want to put a SR20DE into RT142 Corona	Sat, 30 August 2003 11:51

I put a 1GGTE into an ST141 (carby version of the RT142). If I had my time again I would have chosen a different engine - either the SR20DET or a 13B turbo. You can fit the 1G but it's just that little bit too long for a nice fit. It will upset the handling as a lot of the weight will be right up the front of the engine bay, and you will probably also run into some cooling/overheating issues if you are not careful/lucky. Definitely go for a smaller motor, and don't listen to anyone who tells you it's a shit idea. HOWEVER I think it's a shit idea to put an SR20DE in. If you're going to the trouble fit the turbo motor. I know numerous people who have done atmo conversions and they all end up kicking themselves and wishing they'd spent that little bit extra to end up with a really cool car. RA65 celica brakes will be fine. Oh, and watch who you take advice from. Particularly people who don't even know what model of car a 1G came from (GA70 not a GA71... which didn't even exist). Also, you'd be an idiot to pay more than $2,000 for a complete 1G half cut. If you want information on the 1G swap, send me a PM... but I still recommend an SR20DET or a 13B.
