1UZFE in KE30

[Toby40]

Hi guys

i am about to commence doing an engine swap into a KE30 corolla.

The 1UZFE non vvti.

i am trying to create a list of the hardware required to carry this out and so far i have a feeling i am missing some things.

i am wanting to do an entire suspension upgrade to coilovers and changing the rear drum brakes to disc brakes.

 

so far i know i will require the following:

 

• engine (busy trying to source a suitable candidate)
• gearbox (planning on installing the 21R gearbox with the adaptor plate
• management
• clutch kit for the 21R gearbox
• M75 LSD diff (bit hard to source where i am)
• strut brace for stability

 

i assume i will need a different steering rack in order to work as well as the correct driveshaft, i have no clue what steering rack or driveshaft to utilise.

the struts i will need to change accordingly as well because i would prefer to buy a suitable set of coilovers as opposed to mixing and matching this.

any input in this will be welcomed

oh, i am based in South Africa so parts needs to be available here if possible.

thanks

[oh what a nissan feeling!]

It won't need a rack conversion with the right sump.

 Missing a gt42 on the parts list, if you gonna have a v8 corolla it may as well be fast.
