A J32A2 Vtec Motor

The perfect engine swap for any fitted Toyota Corolla would be a J32A2. You can find this motor from an 2nd Gen Acura TL-S, 2nd Gen CL-S, or a 3rd Gen Honda Inspire. The J32A was a 3.2 oversquared (3210cc) SOHC VTEC design. It was an all-aluminum piston motor, from Honda’s J Series power train. Surprisingly, there were three updated versions of the J32A with a more fitted design. These engines were made available from 1998-2008. The J32A had a bore of 89.0 mm with a stroke of 86.0 mm. The J32A2 itself, had an output between 260hp-270hp with up to 252ft•lbs of torque at a given rpm. More power depended on that particular J Series motor. The J32A Series had compassion ratios of 9.8.1-11.1:1. The J Series were designed to improve performance and fuel efficiency. There were JDM versions of this motor with many having different appearances.

Aftermarket for the J32A Series is very popular and is running strong for modifications. The J32A Series can be retrofitted with other J parts(other high preformance NA mods) can be had for a whooping of 290PS. A customed forced inducted J32A, can be rebuilt to make big power.

A K24A2 iVtec Motor

A K24A2 swap is possible for any fitted Toyota Corolla. The perfect engine swap can be found from a Acura TSX or "Honda Accord".

A K24A iVtec Motor 

The K Series are kings when it comes to aftermarket. K20A/K24 parts are exchangeable with other K Series motors. A modified force inducted K20A is known to make serious power. Like the legendary 2JZ-GTE, a built K Series can make well over 1000+hp. A tuned K20A or K24A can still produce an extra 80PS overstock. Daily mid-built K Series are known to make well over 400hp with a decent customed/blot on turbo, supercharger kit, or NA build. Rotrex has a C Series of supercharger kits that can work well with a K Series motor. The K Series is known to make ridiculous power for cars like the Civic and RSX. Monkey Wrench Racing sells quality conversion parts for the 1ZZ-FE powered vehicles.

#D16Y8 #D16Y8Turbo #D16y8Supercharged

A D16Y8 Vtec Motor

The perfect engine swap for any fitted Corolla would be a D16Y8 from a 1996–1997 Honda Del Sol Si, 1996–2000 Honda Civic EX, 1996-1998 Honda Civic Coupe, 1996–2000 Honda Civic Si, 1997-2000 or the Acura EL. The D16Y8 was a 1.6L (1,590cc) all-aluminum piston motor from Honda’s D Series. Surprisingly, there were many updated versions of this motor with a fitted SOHC VTEC design. The engine was made available from 1996-2000. The engine had a bore of 75.0 mm with a stroke of 90.0 mm. The D16Y8 had an output of 127hp with up to 107ft•lbs of torque at a given rpm. More power depended on the engine itself. The D16Y8 had a compassion ratio of 9.6:1. The D Series were designed to improve fuel efficiency. This version of the D Series had many appearances.

A D16Y8 Block

Aftermarket for the D16Y8 is very popular and is running strong for mods. The D16Y8 can be retrofitted with other D series engines to produce decent gains. A modified force inducted D16Y8, can be rebuilt to make big power. Like  many D Series motors, a tuned D16Y8 can still produce up to 170PS on the stock internals. A built D16Y8, will make well over 250hp with a decent customed turbo or supercharger kit.

Aftermarket for these engines is quite large. Turbo or supercharged applications may require upgraded injectors, upgraded ECU, a blot on or customed built manfold, fuel pump, and boost controller.

A honda swap is not a direct fit. All the electronics/ECU are different and they are more of a challenge. All the proper equipment from the donated car including a suitable or modified transmission is needed for a successful swap. These swaps requires a lot of customization including hood clearance in some swaps, customed motor mounts, suspension, custumed high proformance axles, shifter, fuel system, cooling system, A/C/power steering, intake/exhaust, suspension/brakes, and tires.

The engine swaps were done to the MR2, Honda Civic, other Acura models, Toyota Celicas, and Corollas. There are custom fitted parts for these motors at importperformanceparts, CT Engineering Supercharger, car-part, ptuning, maxpeedrods, Magnum, driveshaftshop, gatorracingaxles, turbokits.com, or kmodperformance. Rotrex and Eaton has a Series of superchargers that can work on these motors. Every motor and transmission has a weakness. It is very important to address your motor and transmission for weaknesses before modifying them.
