"too anal" :laff: :laff: so funny I do what u say every 2 month, just last week I even fully disassemble the carb, clean it & flush it & everything else by my self, but it doesn't have any effect. in my country that use that car is also have the same fuel consumption as me.. today, I go to ask some expert. about this engine swapping, they say they don't recommend to use the 2L engine, because the quality is rubbish!!!!!!!!!!! so many have a case, that they have some crack on the engine block, luckily I saw one of the "victim" that has that problem. but I forgot to take some picture of it. they also say to use 7K engine is more harder than to use 5K engine, first 7K engine is bigger even is not really big, need more modification. they say if I want to use a 5K with 7K EFI kit, they say I need a universal ECU due to different stroke. so now, just waiting for someone that I know want to sell his uni ECU.

that merc is a sick crazy car, it has a scania truck turbo, I ever watch it once... the reason why I like diesel is about the fuel efficiency, and also I like the sound it might be perfect for an old car, I like it when it has a straight pipe.

I just know the 4K had a EFI version so maybe I thought the 5K will have one. tuned properly?? is it use a stock ECU or an universal one??? how about the sensor & everything?? doesn't need modification?? hmm, I think that is because it is a land cruiser, build for offroad stuff, noone offroad car is good in fuel efficiency. maybe if it is a hilux use a same engine, different gearbox I thought it will be more economical. from what I know, every car that have a diesel engine version, the diesel runs better in fuel efficiency. like a merc C-class, the toyota hilux, etc.

yes indeed, because I want to find a car that runs better in fuel efficiency then my ninth generation corolla (AE120), it gives me 9L/100km for crazy traffic, 7L/100km when it was not very crowded. I bought a daihatsu mira, 850cc, not good, very low power & the fuel consumption its still same with my AE120. so I sold it Toyota Yaris & Honda Jazz, yes they had a better fuel consumption but the difference is not much, really close, the draw back is I musn't drive it fast, and the power absolutely below my 1.8L AE120. In my AE120 I can drive it faster & still can get 7L/100km. Again I sold it both. I think, nothing will have an extreme good fuel consumption even its smaller then 1L engine. (don't compare it to hybrid or hydrogen or something like that) so I think about to have an old car, with a new engine technology so it will runs economically (I tought, due to its light weight). because I love my AE120 very much, I don't want to use it daily. My family always bought a corolla since 1973. That's why I really interested to buy a KE20 (my family first corolla), and I gonna make it to be a daily use car, classic & special. unfortunately none of my friends have KE20, what I got is KE30.

thx for the reply.. the K doesn't have a diesel version, what I am going to use is the 2L diesel engine.. hilux use that engine, some say the 3K, 5K, 7K, 7K-E and the 2L (I forgot it's 2L-T or something maybe) are all have a same mounting. When I see from wikipedia the Toyota Revo(India) / Toyota Kijang(Indonesia) use that all engine, same body & chassis but from generation to generation they use the K engine going bigger & bigger. is it possible to get an EFI 5K??? it is not a bad idea but I think we can't do that. It was design for 1.8l not 1.5l, I think it will become oversupply. out of topic, is this a mirror for KE30??

sorry for double posting.. my father just said, that if I want to use a FF engine in a FR chassis, it might become not as good as (in fuel consumption) where it was properly installed. I mean the 4EFE engine was design for FF, when attached to a FR car it must facing the axle, diff. and that kind of stuff, sorry I don't know how to explain it well in english but the point is, mostly (not all) the FF engine is have a higher compression ratio than the FR engine, most of the FR layout need a bigger torque not a bigger horsepower. to get a bigger torque needs a higher RPM which means more fuel will be used. so if the FR engine has a little bit more thristy than the FF engine that just I want to use, better use the FR, because its like a gamble. just like you put a Lamborghini Aventador engine inside the big Scania truck. that's my father said... he said I better get a 7K/7K-EFI engine.. again, is it possible to get a diesel engine?? :laff: I love that heavy sound.. sorry bad english

hmm... really thanks for the explanation.. that guy's corolla was absolutely beautiful.. I got it, too make it simple to install the best way is having K engine instead of the other engine.. but if I want an efficient engine it could be more difficult to do & more expensive, right is it?? but is it possible to use a diesel engine?? because I know a person that sell the engine.. and also diesel engine for the old corolla maybe perfect, it will sound like muscle car with a custom mufler..

thx for the reply yes I knew it, A series is for performance, that's why I don't like it much.. it's useless for me because its an old car and I use it not for something like racing, I like it not so fast & efficient, I like it to be special, so I prefer the FE engine. my friends also told me to use 4K or 7K engine, but I already have a car that use that both the engine, all of them are really bad in fuel consumption. they run at 13L/100km and the best I get is 12L/100km, even the both car that use the engine is not a sedan, but from the characteristic its seems to be a thristy engine. yes, some of my friends use a 4K & 5K engine, but like I thought, they run in a bad fuel efficiency. I am start to thinking about using a 7K-E engine, the Electronic Fuel Injection one, but it has some problem for the gearbox, some say that it needs a major modification to fit in. And I also think about to use an 1RZ-E engine, but its 2L engine,but its too much for the little corolla. I also think about to use a diesel engine, it runs very good on fuel efficiency, but almost all the system must be changed. the fuel tank, electricity and mountings.. :( thx all for the reply, any thoughts?? :) is it possible to use 2L diesel engine from Toyota Crown????

hello, I am going to buy my friend's KE30. it is 4 door. I am planning to replace the engine & gearbox (the original only have 4speed). the question is: 1. is it possible to get a 5AFE engine?? 2. what is the easiest & the simplest injection engine to attached?? 3. are there any kind of gearbox that can be use without any customization?? my friends said that the best engine to be attached is 4AGE, but for me it is too expensive & for my opinion it is a thristy engine. I like a so so engine, that have a bigger power than the old one but not much and I like the injection one. sorry for bad english thx Rolla Club
