TURBO COROLLA CONVERSIONS
The far-from-complete list of what goes into what
Following is a table of the engines used in some known turbo conversions for the Corolla, including the model(s) it has been fitted to and, where applicable, some notes. This list is intended to give you some idea of what can be done, but is by no means complete. With enough work, almost any engine can be made to fit!

Notes |
| Toyota 4AGZE 4AGE(16v) 4AGE(20v) |
AE101, AE92, AE82, AE86, AE70, KExx |
Usually referred to as 4A-GTE when converted to turbo, engine is a mostly bolt-in fitment in AE series, modification required for KE series. 4A-GZE most suitable due to strong internals, 20v head flows well and can give good results. |
| Toyota 3S-GTE |
AE82, AE86 |
2.0L turbo from GT4 celica, requires modified 4WD gearbox or Camry g/box to fit AE82. MR2 variant can be made to fit AE86. Lots of torque. |
| Nissan CA18-DET |
AE86, KExx |
Inexpensive engine making good power. Use CA18 gearbox to fit, can use s13 front suspension. |
| Nissan SR20-DET |
AE86, KExx |
Much modification required - crossmember, shifter position, tailshaft, etc. Easily upgradable engine with knowledge and aftermarket parts plentiful. |
| Mazda 13B, 20B |
AE86, KExx |
Again, much modification required - but both have been made to fit. Huge amounts of power available from the triple-rotor 20B. |
| Toyota 3T-GTE |
AE86, KExx |
1.8L 8valve turbo. Strong motor, used widely in early KE series corolla's for drag racing applications. |
