The 1G-GTE ceased production nearly 15 years ago, so I somehow doubt you'd be getting your hands on a "brand new" engine.

T18's have a fairly short engine bay so it will be a mission getting a 1G in there. People have done it with AE86's though so there's no reason you couldn't do the same with a TE72.

There are still 7MGTE's floating around brand new, so no reason why a 1G isn't.

Granted, but do you think some random importer is going to sell a brand-spanking-new 1G for $750?

well to be honest this company (i dont know the name of) Builds engines brand spankers, and the only reson i found this out cause my brother was in dubie in the middle east and u find order forms for all kinds of engines that are made in japan, this company has the abilitly to remake any engine they want, and the fact that it was in dubie meaning it was basicaly on the black market but i have see one that have bin built that were in dubie and the were brand new only bin run once for half an hour.(yeh they are alcheapose but they do the same job) so it is still posible

mitsubishi were selling brand new 4G54 {astron 2.6} engines to suit pajero, sigma and magna {circa 197X till 1992} up until as little as 3 years ago, when they ran out of some pointless little bit as to stop production of a complete engine

and they made 6G72's as well.

SR5 was just the yanky name I think.

Australian later model ones had the bumpers like that. Our parts car had those bumpers. Thats the sway bar model.

The T18 and SR5's are pretty different beasties I think. The T18 is a TE72 corolla overseas I think.

Here's a sexy SR5, kinda like a old KE;

http://www.netwiz.net/~tcar/c74sr5.html


Go the 1G conversion mate, they are lot's of em around (the motors I mean), more common than 3TGTEU's and it has definitely been done before.

Still got a chubby over that orange T18 with the 7MGTE Very Happy

This one is a 82 sr5, http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/6/web/498000-498999/498319_39_full.jpg

Looks like a sedan/coupe instead of a liftback like an aussie t18. Pretty similar other than that.

we put a 7m in a te72 corolla. If you leave the firewall untouched, the front pulley will end up about half inch away from the bottom of the front radiator support. If you look at the above photo (yellow car), you can see that 7m was set back thru the firewall, judgeing from how far it sits back from the top of the radiator support. You'll need major tunnel surgery in that case also.

How can it be any less wronger (excuse my english) looking than a T-18 Wink

I dont mind them actually, and they especially look good with wide wheels and that front lip Smile

As for the SR5 im pretty sure its just a trim level for corollas in america, as u can get SR5 ae86's etc

I guess the point I was trying to make is that if buy a ADM T18 I'm not going to call it SR5. I can call it a TE72 corolla. The SR5 link I posted features what is basically a TE series corolla. Although it looks like a KE from over here. The US 'KE's' used T series engines, perhaps that is where the cross over occurs.

As far as the wrongness goes Razz, I'm not going to bother explaining personal taste. I just think that lip with the bumper looks like shit, older rolla's don't deserve to be 'fast and furious'd'.

Now, if it had chrome bumpers and watanabe's... Cool

Yeah t18's are definately no picture of perfection Smile I own one too, but I never bought it for the way it looks. Ours is pretty bloody ugly with its export quality panda job (yeah it was a pisstake). Might give it a respray one day though, needs a lot of body fixing too, my bog work wasnt the best last time around.

this is one i found, i also found they came out as a 1.6DX aswell
like the one on the site

http://www.toyotaownersclub.com/gallery/album02/si lver_n6

but i also found this one aswell this is on my website and the T-18 looking ones are SR-5's

http://users.stpatricks.tas.edu.au/~sroddick/toyot a's.html

and also the yellow one underneath the 2 SR-5's is another SR-5 |

http://users.stpatricks.tas.edu.au/~sroddick/t-18s e's.html

i know they are in T-18's on my page i dunno y i put em there but oh well, i think thats it but i know SR-5's are also many different types of cars aswell but like Turbo_Tim said they is the Yanky name for them, but knowing me i could be wrong about all this

Cheers Sean

Bah! My T18 is beautiful!

TurboTimmy and Sean, you can call em whatever you want to call em Smile , my T18 was made in Australia so I calls it a T18. I guess I'm not wanting to go the way of the sprinter crowd and call a 'seven two'. If I had a SR5 with SR5 badging and compliance plates I'd call it a SR5.

Maybe we could see whose is faster, my T18 or your SR5's Evil or Very Mad. Razz

well mines a T-18 aswell, but im gunna stick with its real name TONY (the toyota) and my other T-18 HARRY the hachback, i dunno if its just me and im really slow but i figured this out in my head and i thought T-18 stood for T(t series engine)18 (1.8L engine) knowing my luck that is actualy wot it stands for but oh well u get that sometimes Confused

But if im right thats even better, cause im really slow with everything Freak

Nah I call mine a t18 too.

Whats so quick about yours bunky?

Ours is the biggest shitter though, I will admit that. Usually rust places e.g. rear windows.


We need a dedicated t18 thread in the lounge like the rest of them Razz

I'd say you are pretty much on the mark mate, makes sense to me.

Yeah! Let's do the dedicated thread thing! I'm a 3T idiot. Got plenty of 3T motors.. .

My T18 is not that great to look at either, It's not too bad though justa little rust in the usual spots. My other bunky brown T18 is a shocker but it's running a pretty tough 3TEU with a wolf fuel computer and extractors.
