ok so the car that I'm starting out with is a 1978 toyota corona wagon, FACTORY 5-speed. The car is pretty sick as it is now but i want to drift it this year and there is no way the 20R could handle that kind of abuse.
I originally wanted to put a 1jz into it, I wanted something turbo and with a huge front mount peaking out the bottom of my grill haha. But I've driven kyles 1uz corolla more than enough to realize that a 1uz was the way to go. They take a beating like no other, the stock internals hold up 600+ hp, they have a ton of reliable power stock, they're cheaper than a 1jz, and they're a lot easier to find.
well here is what I've got, enjoy
the stock 1uz wiring has 6 plugs, after you pull all the unnecessary stuff out you end up with 3 plugs and 1 wire
everything we pulled out
the motor came from a SC400 so it has a rear oils sump, the corona needs a front sump
front sump installed
had to get a new ECU plug the one I had was crushed. Here I am de-pinning the new plug
de-pinning the crushed plug, I left the rubber piece on so I didn't lose track of where the wires came from
checking to makes sure everything went where it had to
all the wires are back where they should be and everything together
haven't started on mine yet but here are a few pic's of the 8.8 rear end we're putting in my friends 1uz powered AE86. The corona is getting the same thing.
UPDATE
sorry about the crap Iphone pic's lol
pulled the dash and the front chassis harness so I can work on them and fix a few this
the dash wiring was hacked up pretty bad
this is after I fixed a few thimg and got everything back where is was originally
pulled the 20R now I'm going t take care of the few rust spots in the engine bay,start fabin up the motor mounts, and maybe fill in all the bolt hold
