i hope i spelt it right, its the 1.8 litre turbo out of the jap spec celica. its meant to be a strong engine im told, how hard is it to fit this to the 1983 KE70 corolla??
If anyone has done it could the reply with tips or point me in the right direction. I got the front cut for a steal so i want to make use of it.

it will bolt in.
but im you would want to find out what car it is
i dont think any celicas came with 3tgte's
if it is a celica, ta22? it didnt come with rack and pinion.
so you will need to welf the T series engine mounts onto your K series crossmsmber to retain the rack mounts, or weld rack mounts onto the t crossmsber
that on top of your usual fuel, wireing and exhuast mods you get with engine conversions

I've got some clearance. I'll try to get some photos. It's a 2T-G, and a standard sump I think. If you want one, I've got a couple spare.

First problem.
Changing the crossmember from a t18.
Second problem.
Steering Clearances with the sump.
Third problem.
Diff will die very quick, VERY QUICK
Fourth Problem.
Need to make a new tailshaft up.
Fifth problem.
Brakes will need to be upgraded to be roadworthy and safe, not just for you, but other drivers on the road.
Sixth Problem.
Complete fuel system upgrade reqd.
New Bigger fuel lines, a return line installed.
Surge Tank, or baffled Original Tank.
High and low Pressure fuel pumps.
Seventh Problem.
Convert car to hydraulic Cluth.
Potential Eighth Problem.
Depending on which gearbox it came with, you may need to cut a new shifter hole in your floor.
This gives u a little idea whats involved, if u cant do most of this in your own or a mates garage, then it will be an expensive and probably silly venture.
Im doing the same setup into a KE35 coupe, so i do know what im talking about.
Also Are u sure its a 3tgte and not a 3sgte, cause the 3tgte didnt come out in celicas, Carinas it did.
If it has 8 spark plugs then its a 3tgte.

Concur with phoenix83 on most points. If using a
TE72 T50 the shifter will emerge in the correct location. 3T-GTEU did come out in Celicas; TA6# to be specific.
