i wouldnt get it without ecu, as an ecu is expensive. I also wouldnt get it if you want a powerful Naturally Aspirated engine, as you can get a good early 18RG with 9.7:1 compression for cheaper than that. even though they have carbs, they are still good for an extra 16 neddies before modification. Another engine to watch out for is the impotent 18RGU, which has a mild 9.1:1 compression, and problematic carbs. This has about the same power output as the 18RGEU but without the efi. Also a note on the milage, early toyotas had a 100,000km clock, which means you can never tell if its 20000, 120000, 220000, 320000 etc, you get my drift. also, the 18RGU/EU had shitty mild cams... not the sort you want for a performance engine.
as well as the throttle linkages and fuel lines, the exhaust manifold is different too. As for the radiator outlets... you can use your standard radiator, just you need to use the thermostat housing upper casting from a KE series corolla, Kilkenny Castings part number WO31 available from any supercheap or autobarn store. Then your standard 18RC upper hose fits when you rotate it.
anyways, thats my 2c. if your going to turbocharge it, get the 18RGEU, pay for some new cams to be made and dont make it produce any more than 300hp without internal mods.
Cheers, Owen
