20v bt swamp into 83 corolla
I am seriously considering of swamping my tired 4ac for the 20v bt is it that difficult to do this operation is it bolt in or do I have to cut things to fit ?and wiring issues with installing an ecu can I use the t50 gearbox that's already in the car? Just weighting pros and cons on this thanks

Anyone ?

Not too sure about the T50 trans...
As for the wiring, you need an efi wiring harness. (83 corollas are carbed?)
You are better off carbing a 16v 4ag. no ecu necessary, you can probably modify your existing harness

I'm not running a 20V... but I am running a fuel injected 4AG in my 1983 AE71......
The T50 is fine as long as you treat it gently.... OR you can swap in an Altezza 6 speed if you purchase a LEEN adapter. Another transmission option would be the Supra W58 (it requires a custom adapter, or bell housing).
Here are my build threads.....

Have you thought of a smallport swap or building up a LP with high comp pistons and cams? Similar level of performance for a similar cost and less work than converting a 20v to FR.
Unless you are dead set on ITBs like most people around here lol. In which case you might as well just go 20v.

Sounds like I would be better off with the 16v carbed

I would go EFI personally but if you are overwhelmed then carbs is an option. Just not as good an option.

Re: 20v bt swamp into 83 corolla
zakae71... a few things to remember....
1) the AE71 is about 100 kilos lighter then an AE86...
2) a tired 4AC puts down 50- 60 whp, a less tired one - 70 whp. A tired 4AG should plant 70whp, while one less tired might be above 90 whp. You don't have to build it a lot to feel a totally different car.
2a) - a stock or near stock 4AG, you should have no problems with a good T50... it is only as you build a 4AG to make more power does the T50 become less, and less adequate
3) The AE71 and the AE86 share quite a bit... MOST of the AE86 aftermarket can be utilized to rebuild, and update your AE71
