Gday fellas, i have a mate that has a Ke70 corolla.

The car is pretty sucky in stock from, well, its just crap.

Anyway, i saw some cars of the same shape with different versions of 4A-G engines in them... but i think those were KE71's

so is it possible to fit a 4A-GE into a KE70? Or if not, what other engines fit into the engine bay with around the same amount of work.

thanks

The ae71's came with a 4ac which is a crappy single cam relative of the 4age. To swap a 4age into a ke70 you will need the crossmember/gearbox/hydro clutch system out of an ae71 or a sprinter to bolt the 4age in. It's been done quite a few times, probably best to search www.toymods.org.au or www.twincam.org for more detailed info on the swap.

Hope that helps

i am currently puttin a 20v into my KE70. the floor pan of the KE is the same as the sprinter the difference is the body is ugly!! just as course out said find an ae71 and rob it of its subframe, engine mounts, gearbox (weaker than jap spec but cheaper) tailshaft as the ke shaft won't work with ae71 box. Also update to t18 diff as ke diff won't work with ae71 shaft and you can't swap yokes i tried!! i suggest t18 diff as the aus series sprinter diff you can't get lsd's for. also get the pedal box and clutch master cylinder thats all i can think of right now but feel free to pm in future as i am doing the conmversion now and surely will come across other things. http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/wink.gif

my car is sexy! jdm mirrors YO - looks better than a riced up ae86

mine is toyota red with 14x7 0 offset watanbes poking out the guards - l00ks sik!

also with a ke/ae 70/1 - treat it like a sprinter - keep the balance!

well i reckon my mates one would look awesome with 15's and lowered a bit.

the car looks a bit horrid at the moment... but my mate likes it so i guess thats fine. I just was just thinking of some cool ideas for when his engine finally goes bang.

Given me thoughts now... maybe i should get a AE71 and do a bit of local drifting. I always wanted an 86 but couldnt find one (see name)

Yeah, when I bought my ae71 it was going to be different and unusual, but it looks like by the time i get it on the road there will be thousands of the little buggers. Oh well, better than owning an s13 I guess..........

At the moment im installing a 4AGTE into mine, just having some issues with water pumps now. I think the KE70 is a lush car if you have it looking right.
