K24 swap Corolla - Running an open source Standalone

[Hassan1991]

For inside i used 1.5x1.5 2mm wall thickness square tubes. ( I'm still not happy with them. I might upgrade to thicker sidewalls).
There are tubes that connects the middle frame with the fronts and rear struts.

After that i went for the front.
So this is the weakest chassis of corolla. I love the looks of this car but i still say that bluntly. Front wheel will start opening up if you don't put some sort of tie bar in it. And making it worse i installed 195/45R16 on this thing. Even though the fun looking tie bar was always been there but it was never enough.
The marked areas you see were cracked. Steering position use to change while accelerating and decelerating.

Don't mind the brake and clutch lines.

Denter ruined the bolt hole where control arm sits. I had to redo it.

You might have seen me sharing this picture before. That's the 4 point tie bar i made. 1.25 inch 2.4mm wall thickness tube.

The bars you seen going under the steering rack where later modified.

After all that its time to check the body flex.
I did put one more wheel and painted the underneath.

Transmission was bought before the engine. Bought it for 75k from ISB with clutch fork and shifting cable bracket. A very good friend of mine bought it and shipped it to me.
AST5 from Honda accord CL9 6 fwd. Non LSD.
Gear ratio of this transmission.
1st - 3.533
2nd - 1.880
3rd - 1.354
4th - 1.027
5th - 0.825
6th - 0.659
Final drive 4.388
Reverse 3.583

Engine was bought after 5 months of transmission. The time was give to the understanding, learning and parts arrangement of standalone.
It's a k24A3. Many people here don't know the differences in K24 engines. I will make a detailed thread on it. To begin with this engine has Oil Cooler and not from Japan. Bought for 78k without AC compressor and Ecu.

Cylinder 3 valve seals were weak. Recently confirmed that. Although i already planned to replace them all before buying the engine.

Oil pan had a dent. Took it out.

sir @Hassan1991 it is your DIY I will respectfully follow

Honda into Toyota is like watching my persian pedigreed double coat round face cat mating with a stray ginger pointer face male with respect

Apologies ...
But sir atleast it rotates in right direction.

[dani_kk]

Haha sir apkay alfaaz cheer dete hain andar se. Cross brand pe baat aye jab. But for hasan I think we should be motivating him for this as its a very interesting project.

After that i made this stand for the engine. Keeping in mind the center of gravity of engine and engine bay spacing.

[Hassan1991]

Then lets cut the front.
Don't worry after i'm done with it. Exterior will look bone stock will look like an ordinary ae80. I don't like messing with the exterior and oem looks.
Measurements were done before cutting. Also my friend got ee80 corolla which we swapped with 1nzfe. He lives near my house, i have taken every measurement of his car as well.

[Hassan1991]

Time to slide the engine in first time. My favourite part to do. Makes it easy. I have taken it out several times.
Also found the first issue, Transmission hits the steering rack.

[Hassan1991]

Made this front bar.
Now this is the thickest metal used on this car. That's 2x2 square tube with 3mm wall thickness.
Have to make it straight. So spend some good time before finalizing. Reference point was steering rack and strut towers.

[Hassan1991]

Bought toyota 2C motor mounts brand new. I wanted to use something that is readily available in market. Also talked with sir Xulfiqar about it.
Torque of 2c and K24 are very similar so they should work but i will replace rubber with polyurethane .
Yes one of them was EE100 mount. The transmission one.
All are local made.

[Hassan1991]

Slide the engine back in with some wooden axles.
Though the idea works really well.

You can see where transmission sits.

[Hassan1991]

Took the engine out again to make chassis brackets.
They were placed so that oem mounting locations of engine can be used.
Otherwise you might not get the right center of gravity and torque steer as well for wrong torque mounts.
If you're wondering why i have given a triangular shape to rear mount cross member, that's for the headers.

Hasan please consider the chassis reinforcement at front.
Aur steering aur lower arm Wala point lazmi reinforce Karna it's bit weak at those ee80s .

Aur center say bhi chassis lazmi reinforce Karna.
And at the back end for weight do make aluminum plates attached for weight balance
