I've always saw these motors and thought they would make for something cool, no one uses them here even the factory turbo Z's pop up in the junker Damn, so stock motor with injectors and a very efficient turbo. Very nice.
@mydogzty Thanks for the feedback. The engine was $60, "unopened" means the engine still retains 100% factory internals. Ball bearing as opposed to an older thrust bearing turbo.
yo ik its been like 10 years or something lol but if yall still kept up or remember, which engine was it? the 30e, 30de or 30dett? Knowing this is stock internals got me looking at my car lol
1985 i blew the engine in Mom`s 1979 corolla.. Found a crashed Corona wagon and installed the 20R (2,189 cc) engine for that tiny 1156 cc thing it had. Shattered the corolla`s rear end 20 feet out of the driveway and luckily the Corona wagons was a direct swap but much beefier.. Long story short i went thru a few junkyard engines because of cooling problems but once fixed Mom`s lil Corolla didn't have the 155-85-13`s anymore and looked pretty cool with the 235-60-14`'s smoking thru 1st and part of 2nd. Stock engine in the lighter car and if you had a 5.0 Mustang you didn't like me much! Yes it would smoke a 5.0 with the stock 20r and still got near great gas mileage. Only thing i did the the 20r was used a plastic zip-tie to get the 2barrel to actually open. Worked perfect and never broke thru 4 engines. Stock 4-speed from a 1979 celica was geared alittle better and is what i used. I was young, didn't have a clue how to weld but had to learn quick getting this to work lol..
Up till 90mph yes i beat many.. its a 20r celica/corona engine and in this very light corolla i could pull both front wheels launching. After i blew 3 engines because of cooling probs the final engine was a 1979 celica 20R which rated as 118 H/P and maybe 2000#'s with me in it and the lil car was a rocket thru an 1/8 for a 4 banger that was totally stock I tore atleast 6 transmissions up until i braved a tear down and found the whole problem was a 50cent rollpin. The main shifting fork that Toyota used was garbage but they offered a 1piece upgrade for about 60$ back in the mid 80's. The only mod (sorta) to the engine was a plastic zip-tie on the carbs secondary linkage to Force the 2 barrel to open with pedal movement instead of slow vacuum action. thru an 1/8 it ran low 10's, and mid-high 9's on a good pass back in 1985. Was a fun little car which got about 40mpg and ran on the cheapo stuff. One nite at the strip a fox body showed up with the window sticker still in it and ran back to back for 6 hours or so (street/play days so you could run all day for 20$), this 5.0 trunk mustang was spraying nitrous and before he left he was smoking and much slower! I was there that nite in my 3/4ton 67 GMC big block and lost a few to him but a 4800# 3/4 drive long wheel base camper special 14 bolt corp. rear end running high 10.0`s wasn't to shabby...
A 1979 Corolla had a curb weight of about 2000 lbs. The highest rated 20r motor had about 96 horse power and around 120 ft lbs of torque. A 1985 (because you said still had the window sticker) notch back fox body had a curb weight of around 2700 lbs with a hp rating of 210 and torque was at 270 ft lbs. Numbers dont lie, that corolla would have been smoked unless the Mustang driver was clueless...
Kawasakiforlife7 1979 toyota Corolla with the smaller engine option shows 1808-Curb weight. Drop some for the butchering job i done making it fit at 18 years old, no spare tire or jack, no rear seat cause i'm 6'5" and had moved the LF seat back in the floor about 10" then add alittle for the 20r and it "May" have weighed 2000! I owned 4 of these cars and Only 1 had the 1.6 hemi engine. The others were the 1156 or 1166 cc engine(1 of the 2), i also have owned atleast 6 RWD celicas, and the 4cylinder with the most power was the 1985 22re, but thats a fuel injected engine and back when i was 18 i new dung about electronic`s. Had just learned to weld with a stick welder and the yoda has some nasty cake welding where i took a cross support out that connected the front strut rods! 1st hard brake hit and my rf wheelbase was 6 inches shorter lol.. Some bedrail angle iron and a couple hours of my dad showing me it was possible to use a big arc welder to weld on thin jap metal was possible and no more problems.. The corona wagon rearend couldn't have weighed more then 20#`s more then the corolla, the 4speed celica trans was maybe 20-30#'s heavier then the 5speed behind the baby engine and you can believe what u want. I know it was fast, i know i smoked several 5.0`s as well as Chevy`s and many other car`s with it.. The worst problem i had was the clutch. The corolla was a cable clutch so i rigged the celica stuff up as a cable setup. Couple months later lost the pedal. Tore the dash out and found that i had broke the plastic half-moon shaped guides that turned the cable towards the right side and back out the firewall on the right side. Wound up making some new ones after breaking them about 2x. Made the new ones from flat washer`s and never had problems again until i found a nice celica needing an engine for 50$ and took the basket case down and scrapped it. The celica i put back together i wound up selling to a friend about a year later (who was out of work and her Yugo finally blew up) and 6 months or so afterwards her drunk hubby hit a semi head on in Spring City Tn. she actually still owed me some on the car and i went to the junkyard to see what was left. Wrecker driver said the engine was still running and he reached in and shut it off before loading it but as far as i could see there was Nothing left and how the engine still ran after going thru 3 cars and near 300k miles was beyond me. Small lite a@@ car with enough power to side step a clutch at 6k rpm and lift the front . Car came with 155-80-13`s, i ran 225-60-14`s on the back to keep traction. "Said the only mode Sorta" was a zip-tie to force the carb to react faster, i did change the head gasket and had Fugate machine cut .030 off the head and used a factory type thinner gasket rather then using a Felpro which was thicker causing a drop in compression. I did Not run the electronic ignition the celica had, i used a Point type and a mallory coil high voltage coil we had laying around and i always index my plugs and do some cutting and bending to change how the end of the plug is exposed to create more spark. But the engine block assembly was stock with well over 100k miles. That fox body car wasted his engine on nitrous. Did you not catch that? He went thru atleast 6 bottle`s i seen him change out that day and where he was fast earlier in the day he was slower then stock after while smoking(burning oil). whatiscurbweight D0T C0M 1982 ford Mustang GT 3270
Homerhey I'm not reading all that, but I skimmed. 82 was heavier than 85. I gave you the weight for an 85 notch. You did say it was a notch and not a hatch because you said "5.0 trunk mustang"
Is that a GasReaserch Carb?...I'm running one on my Supercharged Chev S10. I like the way you have the 2 LPG regulators run in series - I didn't know they would work like that.
Nice idea with giving adding to the opening with that music. Thanks for putting the background story of this car in the description. So was the car $60, or was the engine $60 then added a ball baring turbo from Garret and what does "ball bearing" and "unopened" mean? Im also going to send you a personal message thanking you for uploading these awsome videos and asking some other questions about cars and some advice about cars. Thanks Fullboost!
OMG! Are u sure the chassis can handle this stress long term? Engine mount points to be specific. These old corollas originally had what, 80 something Hp? Love these old school toyotas though.
i want that motor setup in a little toyota pickup modify the axel and suspension make it an even more stealth sleeper it would be cool to take the awd drive train fom a celica gt4 for even more traction. ive wanted to do somthing like that for a while
@gabbermaikel yeah gas is high octane, im thinking of running 4 gas rings on my old corona, setup right it would go quiet well and be cheaper to run :D
@fullboostcomau Thanks for the reply :) $60 for a complete engine is a bargain! Now Im wondering whats a Nissan engine doing in a Corolla? Would the fella have to pay for engineering costs to keep that car street legal because he did a engine swap? And about that personal message I'll get around to it soon. It'll be very long and packed full of questions and whatever I have to say about your addictive channel.
I believe you ha e the wrong idea about sleepers. They are quiet, clean (as far as body mods) and most of the time the only mods on a sleeper are engine, tranny, and maybe wheels and tires. They were originally called sleepers because they were all so quiet until you slam the gas. You don't have to believe me, all you have to do is read about it yourself.
Yes, I adjusting the idle speed screw at the back of the IACV and adjusting the throttle body. It still idles between 1300-1400 rpm. On occasion, it will drop down to 1100 rpm. 1100rpm is the closest I get get it to normal idle (850 rpm).
That made no sense at all. You just repeated what I said and said toyotas have weak engines then give me an example of a good TOYOTA engine. And what is it with 4 cynlinders? If I drove a sedan it would have to be a v6.
I've always saw these motors and thought they would make for something cool, no one uses them here even the factory turbo Z's pop up in the junker
Damn, so stock motor with injectors and a very efficient turbo. Very nice.
its good to see a uploader answering qs without additude. we are all in it for the love of it, sharing info is what it is all about chur!
I mean this with no sarcasm at all, but seriously, thank you so much for not ruining this video with bogus music.
I have never seen a car in MORE need of a new differential than this car! Scary fast!
Love it..! And I'm telling you all "Aussies don't fuck around" when it comes to racing and creativity....greetings from Puerto Rico brothers..!
thats what im talking about! visible torque all the way down the track. fuck yeah.
The car is twisting like mad. Time for body strengthening.
That is an awesome conversion. Very inconspicuous sleeper. AWESOME!
Brilliant video. Great hokey music leading to the unexpected beast. 0.46s side drift is money!!
That's amazing, love the twist from all the torque

nice to see other people using lpg 2, most poeple think its stupid, but they don't know the high octane number lpg has.
Yes it's running a GRA carb and twin B2 LPG converters (twin lines).
A tribute to Nissan/Datsun quality control. My vg30e NA has 280,000 plus miles and still pumping the standard 165 HP...

DAM you can see the power
Aussies don't fuck around! Sweet jesus thats one fast VGE30!
That VG30 sounds MEAN!!!
love the classy music.
oh and the cool engine conversion lol
VG POWER!!!!!
Is that a GasReaserch Carb?...I'm running one on my Supercharged Chev S10. I like the way you have the 2 LPG regulators run in series - I didn't know they would work like that.
Brilliant it looks as though the chassis is about to corkscrew.
Dude! Dont leave us hanging we want videos!
@00:45 Awesome burnout dude!
That's a good'un Scotty. It looks great in the ZOOM magazine too. A great story eh??
Whats with the rh lean? Wicked sleeper mate, way to show the big-headed V8's that size doesn't mean shit. And love the rear window sticker!!!
COOL RIDE.
VG THE WORLD!!
VG30ET FTW
sleepers, are the trolers of cars
i like this car
Twin lines? I only see the one main vapor line running into the carb...
Nice idea with giving adding to the opening with that music.
Thanks for putting the background story of this car in the description.
So was the car $60, or was the engine $60 then added a ball baring turbo from Garret and what does "ball bearing" and "unopened" mean?
Im also going to send you a personal message thanking you for uploading these awsome videos and asking some other questions about cars and some advice about cars. Thanks Fullboost!
OMG! Are u sure the chassis can handle this stress long term? Engine mount points to be specific. These old corollas originally had what, 80 something Hp? Love these old school toyotas though.
VERY INTERESTING ADD LPG ON TURBO CARS???I LOVE TO KNOW MORE..!!!
i want that motor setup in a little toyota pickup modify the axel and suspension make it an even more stealth sleeper it would be cool to take the awd drive train fom a celica gt4 for even more traction. ive wanted to do somthing like that for a while
That engine is carbureted and not fuel injected? I dont see the carb..
What year is the Corolla? Didn't see it mentioned anywhere.
so it start its life as a NA VG? or was it from a Z31?
I wish I had my own 1978 corolla.
Where did you get those wheels?
11.8 on lpg not bad at all
So you went to a boneyard, and got a complete engine for 60 bucks this day and age? What junkyard you shopping at?
is this car powered by one wheel ?
it is me or is the car leaning to the right when under acceleration?
Awesome
very cool
is it hard to put the R180 diff in this chassis? or is it plug and play?
check out the rear wheel wobble.
With some stiffer suspension, that car could go much faster. Very nicely done though
Very impressive!
What's the spec' on the drivetrain, i.e. engine, gearbox, rear end?
serious suspension work that car would be soooooooo much fastser
Sweet
VERY NICE I HAD THE TWO DOOR 79
How many kms has it done? And is it still running?
There's an electric 1972 Datsun 1200 in Portland, Oregon doing 10.2 in the quarter mile...on batteries!.
What brake booster does it have ?
haha wow, that's bysicly a 90s 300zx in a 79 corolla body. Amyzing how it's even faster than a real deal 300zx.
ChuddleBuggy Nah dude thats a vg30et. from an 89. the 91 had a vg30dett
@gabbermaikel yeah gas is high octane, im thinking of running 4 gas rings on my old corona, setup right it would go quiet well and be cheaper to run :D
Nasty.
60 dollars for a vg
why dont i find deals like that hahaha
This was 4 years ago
But the VG still goes for cheap.
you can turbo any vg30e so there are a million cars they came in front and rear drive.
@fullboostcomau Thanks for the reply :)
$60 for a complete engine is a bargain! Now Im wondering whats a Nissan engine doing in a Corolla? Would the fella have to pay for engineering costs to keep that car street legal because he did a engine swap?
And about that personal message I'll get around to it soon. It'll be very long and packed full of questions and whatever I have to say about your addictive channel.
What boost?
its a sleeper until it roars
so whats the song at the start anybody?
No, it's not balanced.. not is it correctly identified.. It's a TOYOTA!! NOT a Datsun.... still... a fun ride :)
well grandma wont be late for bingo again
COOL
Why not .
How the hell can you call that a sleeper? Sleepers are quiet.
A sleeper looks like an ordinary car, the way it sounds does not matter.
I believe you ha e the wrong idea about sleepers. They are quiet, clean (as far as body mods) and most of the time the only mods on a sleeper are engine, tranny, and maybe wheels and tires. They were originally called sleepers because they were all so quiet until you slam the gas. You don't have to believe me, all you have to do is read about it yourself.
It's not a sleeper if it sounds like a fucking drag car.
Mi Key You just kind of don't get it. They're meant to look stock, or slow. To look stock you get quiet. To look slow you sound quiet.
Is the exhaust system stock or just the muffler?
+Daniel Pearce The muffler dumps underneath not through the stock tip.
Ohhhh, that's deceitful. :)
What are you using for idle control? The IACV on my 84 needs to be replaced, but the part is NLA. Without it, the car idles too high.
Just adjust the throttle stop.
Yes, I adjusting the idle speed screw at the back of the IACV and adjusting the throttle body. It still idles between 1300-1400 rpm. On occasion, it will drop down to 1100 rpm. 1100rpm is the closest I get get it to normal idle (850 rpm).
All the torque at 1:00..
2 lines from the tank.
Bye Bye chassis
yours looks exactly like mine, except mines stock lol
gaaaahhhh gotta love that sticker...
🚗🚘
Look at hat chassis flex
Fucking. Awesome.
Search TH-cam for "White Zombie electric car" and you'll find videos of the car.
That can't be a stock rearend.
You'd shit yourself if you came up against this at the lights.
Looks like a 1978 corolla
Nissan engine in a toyota? Why?
CHANGE SUSPENSION IMMEDIATELY !!!
keep it away from the twisties
That made no sense at all. You just repeated what I said and said toyotas have weak engines then give me an example of a good TOYOTA engine. And what is it with 4 cynlinders? If I drove a sedan it would have to be a v6.
Not really an amazing feat. If you take the engine from a heavy car and put it in a light car, then it's going to go faster. It's that simple.
Nice and fast car but VG30's sound horrible imo.
really nice car...
but your suspension is for the ****
Bad. Ass.
lotsssss of wheel hop lol
define "sleeper"

Nissan = good engine, not so good car (I know I wrecked one.) Toyota = Good car, weak engine (I know, I wrecked one.)
