Hello and welcome. Please can you not use text speak as its hard to read especially for those who don't have English as a first language.

If its a sprinter trueno an sr20 conversion is possible but it requires fabrication.

couldnt upload a pic of mine but is very similiar. mine is black 1.3. the bigger the bhp the better not bothered about mpg as will rarely be driven(on weekends). if i do put in a bigger bhp engine i will be upgrading the brakes also but would i have to change the rear axle(1 with disc brakes not drums).

Ok its the fwd corolla layout. You'll need confirm the mounts and various linkages but they did come with a 4-ag in oz.

Do not underestimate how much work is involved. Electrics and stuff not fitting exactly may cost you time and patience
