My good friend has a 89' Corolla GT-S and from what I remember it doesn't look easy. Why? is my question the 4A-GE in their kicks ***. I am sure however it can be done with money and patience. I wouldn't bother though. Good luck!

They only come with 115hp or so.
Something in the area of 250hp would be nice.
The 20B swap into the AR86 was what inspired me

89 GTS?
they only made them between 85-87. after that the corollas were FWD(blah). i'm not sure if the engine was changed but you sure your friend doesnt have an AE111?

85 - 87 in the US for the Hachiroku GTS 4AGE RWD
88 - 91 for the Kyu-ni GTS 4AGE FWD
93 - 98 are the ones you associate as economy cars with nothing to do with performance. FWD with either a 4AFE or 7AFE.
These are all US spec ones, now the AE101 and 111 in Japan, they get the nice 20 valve version of the 4AGE with individual throttle bodies and higher compression pistons putting out 160hp.

You need custom engine mounts AND a big brake upgrade.  The stock brakes are already bad as it is - you're going to kill yourself running that much power with those stock brakes...

The SR20DET would be MUCH better for a swap into a Hitcharaku (AE86). I've seen it done, but I have not been a witness or done one my self. It's a pretty common swap in japan with the pro drifters. See what you can scrape up on the net!
