- Awesome survivor-spec eighties sporty Toyota with over 245,000 kms on the clock, but the real story of this car is its engine. It's the DOHC 3T-GTE and it features hemi-chambered, 8 valve head, twin spark plugs, a CT20 turbo, and was the first turbocharged, twin cam engine built in Japan.

I own one of these GT-T coronas with a 3tgte. Definitely a good sleeper to the unknown. Fun car to drive.
Anybody else notices Wasabicars videos virtually gets never a thumbs down??? Thank you, Dan!
Great content shouldn't get them, but there out there, just dont say it to loud 🤔😯😂🤝🇦🇺
Ha! I do strive to not be thumb-down worthy. Happens every time though. ;-)
A very unique engine. 4 cylinder, Turbo charged, 8 valves (two per cylinder), 8 spark plugs (two per cylinder), twin cam (each cam has one lobe per cylinder). I would love to hear such a unique thing running.
Also, it took me a bit to realize how Daniel pronounced Celica. In the U.S. we pronounce it "Cell-ick-ah", but then we pronounce a lot of things wrong/different.
Alfa Romeo has been doing it for over a century, but it's uncommon on any Japanese cars.
In NZ we pronounce it sil-lee-kah
Thanks for the shout-out Daniel! And you're right: the Aussie AE86 waa sold as the Corolla Sprinter.
The reason for the Carina front end is because the Carina and Corona share the front doors. I believe the taxi only came with the quad round headlight that was also found on the Corona and Carina van. In principle you could swap the front ends around, just like people did with the Silvia and 180sx S13s. The Corona and Carina wagons also share the entire car except for the front end.
About the engine: it's a masterpiece by Toyota (or actually Yamaha) and it replaced the aging 18R-G. The engine was indeed over engineered as Toyota developed the 4T-GTEU out of it to feature in the Celica TA64 really and homologation cars. Unfortunately you can't get many parts to tune the 2T-GTEU.
I was hopeful for seeing an upmarket Corona with parking sensors, but alas the original owner didn't tick that box when he or she purchased it. 😞
Close but no about the taxis...the taxis came with the quad and dual rectangular lights....the dual light arrangement was for a brief time period and was also available in Singapore and Hong Kong as well. It could have very well been that Toyota wanted to finish up some left over stock and just stuck it on there (as they are known to do and call it some special edition with a wierd name comprising of random english words).
@@irajdesilva maybe these were the later ones? I have an late Corona taxi brochure somewhere which features the round headlights. I do remember seeing the Carina quad headlight ones featured on a taxi somewhere in an old Showa era video
@@banpeinet well according to a catalog page and write up the dual lights were there in the DX Super Deluxe grade whilst the STD (I can never stop chuckling over that..neer gets old) got the quad lights. No idea if there was a point in time where it was just one type. ALthough there is a catalog out there that just has the dual light front and just says NEW Corona Taxi. But this small body variant (the one on Daniel's video) did not come out till 1986...before that it was the big body standard Corona with the van front end. I have no idea if the NEW Corona Taxi refers to the change from the big body to the small body or change from a quad to a dual headlight. ***I posted links to images which seem to have deleted my post...so...I suppose links to external pages are not allowed ? Sorry about that...
So awesome. I had a Toyota beige ‘83 Corona S. 4-speed manual. Bought from a little old lady. Put some 14” SSR meshies from Japan with 155 stretched GoodYears. Loved that car.
I have 2 2LT engines here. 2.4 liter turbo diesel. Cheers from holland.
Ha! Well, there you go. Nice. Thanks for watching :)
I put a 3tgte into a xt130 station wagon complete with Venetian blinds ,sleeper shopping trolley ,ran mid 11s
Ooofft! Nice. Thanks, Steve
Thank you, Daniel, for sharing your great video with us.
Thanks, Frederick :)
Can’t get enough Corona!!
Hahaha! It's sweeping the world ;-)
An absolute unicorn 🏆🏆🏆🏆
That, it is. Thanks for watching :)
LOVE THE METAL HUB CAPS ON THE CAB
I love those vans
She's a sweet car. I don't go crazy over Toyotas, but that engine is AWESOME!
Great video as always, Dan. Take care.
Thanks, Joe :)
3T-GTE pretty cool!
Not bad, eh? Also, I recently bought a 3T-GTE cam cover for the man cave. I can't have the car, so the reminder on the wall will have to do
Just sold the Australia version CS Corona to a young kid who loved it great to see the younger generation likes them it was stock and one owner he died and I bought it for $100 sold it for $1100 sold it during Corona lockdown Wasabi Cars is awesome Yeeeeeew
That car would sell for 3-4 k now 12 months on .
Hey Daniel we got those Corona taxis back in the 90's here in Costa Rica with the 4 round headlights and the late models with the square ones all diesel's.
I had two Coronas before.
One was a 1.8L 3T engine, 4 Speed Automatic from 1984.
The other one was a 2.0L 2S Engine 5 Speed Manual Transmission from 1988.
Nice cars.
Thanks, Augusto
Man I always want it that engine Back in the day to swap it into my 82 Corolla te72 but you know how it works Japan always keep the good stuff for them self lol I was Ok with my 3TC engine .40 0ver bigger valves ported head Noris Cam 310 with 45mm mikuni dual side carbs set up, w58 Celica trans was lots of fun and braking every other week lol good old days.
they where also produced model ta64 which had 1962cc twin cam 8 spark limited production for group A owned a corolla t18 with this engine in quick car in its day
The silver Celica at 2:46 I had one the same in NZ with a 3T-GTE in it all factory.
Nice
You'll make it my guy
Perhaps. If I've managed to make a thousand videos already, I'm too much of a goose to stop. Lol
Great vid Dan . Go the mighty 3tgte
Thank you
The GT-T is a wonderful car, but I am just as interested in seeing a taxi spec Corona.
I'm afraid all of the footage I have of the taxi was shown in this video. It's a rare rare car. I hope I get to see it again
Let's hope a taxi comes up for auction at USS Fukuoka 😉
(The youngest ones are more 23 years old, so probably not... 😞)
damn, now I want a corona
Don't say that out loud. People might misunderstand ;-)
How can you not love that boxi-ness !
I must apologise for getting unnecessarily angry last week. It's a bit of a dream to be a CZcamsr with an audience, but it does come at a cost. Not something I really talk about, because it's kinda depressing. As for the showing of older and/or newer cars, of course the preference is for older cars. I am a slave to my inspiration though, which means I'll show any car that gets me excited. For me to sit at my desk Saturday morning to night editing a video, the car has to be interesting to me. I get that not everyone likes the exact cars I like, so I get that not everyone even in my core audience is gonna bother watching every video. I'm kinda rambling, hey. Anyway, I'm truly sorry, and I'm so glad that you're still watching my vids. It means a lot
@@wasabicars No worries Daniel ! I should keep my opinions to myself sometimes too !
Sure you can make the 100.000.
💪
the ronas are never talked about enough. ive got a st141. absolute love the thing but seeing this beaut, the 141 just does not compare. might give me some inspo to build the engine up. rn its only got the 2sc with a 5 speed borgy
These Japanese cars were way ahead in technology for there time. They are great looking, appreciating to see.,👍❤️😃
Thanks for watching, John
ジェームズ・ボンドが愛したトヨタの実力車
My dad had something similar to this car. Same front & back but different wheels, side mirrors at the doors and it was a 1.6L.
Ah, the ol' garden variety Corona. That's all we had back in Australia. What country are you in?
Corona is corona in Australia, just no extented bumpers and GT-T.
Yeah, Loved seeing these in Australia back in the day
Cool they made a turbo model also there is a person that is still Daly driving one of those in red that is faded but it is still going now I see it in the morning when I catch the bus for school but haven’t seen it in a wile bc Melbourne is in lockdown🙁
Great video again! Old Toyotas are my thing (and your videos).
Thanks :)
Funny you are looking for 80s cars and I’m watching 80s music
That would be one nice corona to have and I bet it revs real nice with that twin cam engine
Good one dan 👍👍👍
The 80's were so good. Not that I recall thinking so at the time ;-)
It's in incredible shape! Seeing this era of cars is always bittersweet for me, because always had the most boring versions in Australia that were just so cheap and nasty and had no style. It's like we insisted on getting the worst versions of everything. Like going into McDonalds and getting a Big Mac but actually can I get no sauce no lettuce and oh yeah leave it sitting on the counter for a few hours. Then we all judged these Japanese cars based off what we got.
as an owner of a Corona i approve
Very interesting engine that! Never knew Toyota made a twin spark cylinder head. Thought it was just Alfa Romeo and Abarth? Thanx for the video Daniel!
Was a really weird engine, Toyota came from the 2TG, a pushrod 1.6 converted to DOHC 8V dual side draft carbureted to a 1.8 16V, dual spark, EFI turbo maintaining the same block but on 1.8 (3T)
Certainly is an interesting beast. Thanks, Neville.
The 3T-GTEU was developed into the 4T-GTEU which was then used for rallying the Celica TA64. Even though the output was over 460hp in the end, it only won a couple of rallys in Africa. The 4wd Audis we're outclassing the RWD competitors
Thanks man, you the boss :D
Beautifull car
Yep, certainly is
Daniel, keep the videos coming on cars like this Corona and you'll get 100,000 subs!
Thanks, mate. Am just in a rut. I'll snap out of it, I'm sure
@@wasabicars Great stuff as always- everyone appreciates your efforts. Be well!
A lot of those engines came into Oz in the late 90's to be fitted to early celicas (same engine mounts) and alike. I never new what the donor car looked like!
I had a 3T-GTE in a TA23 celica. Fun times. Like the car, the engines are getting hard to come by.
Wow. Interesting to hear of their life after Japan. Yeah, lol. The humble Corona ;-)
The 3T-GTE came in both the TA63 Celica and TA63 Carina. From this generation onwards the Carina and Corona shared the platform (although the model codes did not mirror each other until the 150 series). The Carina/Corona platform had underpinnings of the A60 Celica platform...so yes, engine mounts, etc..would line up between the Celica and the Carina/Corona.
Beautiful, my Partner and I own an ST140 ( Same shape as this but factory 1SU Automatic and Solid rear end not IRS like this model)
Very cool, ex wife had 1 of these many years back now, but it wasn't a turbo till now thanks Dan, didn't even know about a turbo one, nice stuff as always cheers KC Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🤝🇦🇺🇦🇺🤝🇯🇵🇯🇵😎🙂👍
Cool unique car. That would've been awesome to swap into the 83 Corolla lift back I had back in the 90s when I blew up the 1.8l. It let go about 70mph on the interstate and sounded like something was going to come through the firewall, lol.
You'll get there mate. I want 10k...so hard to get there.
"Just make a viral video!" Lol :/
2:50 The people carrier van was known as the Model F in Germany. Other markets knew it as the Space Cruiser.
Back to the Corona: 160hp? 😲 Holy crap, that's a lot of hp for such a small car, the european 2,8 litre Celica Supra had 170hp.
Nice find!
Edit: Corona isn't small at 4,5m. Just kind of looks it 😉
"Model F", sound so... strange to my ears. Well, eyes in this case. ;-)
I put a 3tgte into my T18 in the 90s
Oh! Corolla base. Nice
Those 3t love the boost just need some oil pump spring up grade and your taxi is a Porsche ✌
Good one Dan, cheers mate.
ahhhh best thing ever.... forget about curves !!!
Rulers gonna rule ;-)
Nice finds
Thanks, Amit
@@wasabicars you're welcome sir.
That is a good looking sedan! And to think back then it was just a regular sedan with buffed engine?
Ha! Yeah, these in Australia were very underwhelming. As said in the video, I've always liked the styling though.
cool :). my bluebird with ca20e also haz twin plugs. tbh not very sure whats even the point of it, but it certainly makes the maintanance kinda weird given to the acces to the rear row of the plugs. basically the front row of the plugs took me like 5 minutes to do, and the rear took me like an hour or so lol
Amazing car wow and I bet that engine could take some fun.
I wish I could get one and find out for myself! :)
Yes
You like? So good :)
in our country Toyota Corona silver edition 12r 4 speed
I see. I recently heard about a special edition in Australia called an SR. Maybe it's similar.
I need the twincam turbo decal for my tt142 gt-t
You will get there Dan, just this virus created truck loads more channels, your content is great, so I know you'll get there soon, congrats and good luck always
My dream car bruz
Might you have requested a video on this car some time ago? I recall someone had...
@@wasabicars it was most likely me
@@wasabicars Whats one of these going for?
Sorry, I don't follow prices of even cars that are common. Auction houses also keeping sold prices to themselves.
Too many T's lol. Great video and agreed. Good looking car.
Can you do a video on the Nissan Bluebird TRX circa 1988?
I'm guessing locally, they'd be known as U11 Bluebird SSS. Mega mega rare. Even after 20 years in Japan. I have about 2 to 3 minutes of footage of that generation. Japan threw them away
100.000 yeah you will make it
Thanks for the encouragement. Hey, a question. Are you actually subbed? I know myself that CZcams recommends videos from channels I regularly watch, but aren't subbed. Doesn't even matter I suppose ;-)
@@wasabicars yes I'm subscriber, I just changed my handle a bit, and so far notifications are working...
Regarding suggested channels from CZcams I tend to avoid or disregard them, I just search for content I like and usually the interaction of the creator on they're content is what guests me to follow them or not, I'm a bit picky, wen it comes to content I like to view
Let’s hear it
Hey, Azim. I wish I could. At the auction yard, you have to be registered to get access to car keys. I don't know how much the annual fee is, but it's crazy high from what I recall.
@@wasabicarsHi Daniel, completely agreed, must sound heavy juicy.. Outside more fun. Stay safe
Nice one
Thanks, Jason
Cheeky RX-8 in there. Never wasa fan of the box Corona but I did own a Tarago with twin moon roof and red velour interior, called mittens. No idea how that name came about but it had a cracked block and a fair dose of stop leak fixed that for a quick sale.... Dang.....
My mates wife did have a GT4 Celica with the pop ups but a fox wrote that off or so she says hashtag vegan.... No, she really is.... Not sure if the brush with the guard rail instigated that but at her 40th she paid homage to me and my impeccable 1988 MX6 turbo computer controlled AWS I sadly miss.... Not nearly as much as my FD before the incessant oil leaks post track day FFS..... I should start a go fund me page but even if I got a few hundred K it wouldn't buy enough apex seals to do another 50,000kms let alone a 20B NA and DCT
Damn. Doesn't seem like car-enthusiast life can be so rewarding. :/
Spicy ❤️
Wasabi ;-)
My corona tt141 had this engine..got problem when weather cold at night it wont start..just cranking..but when at day afternoon it start as normal..anybody know what seem be the problem?
Sorry, I have no idea. I'd suggest you go to Facebook and find some old-school Toyota groups. I'm sure someone there can offer advice.
well, I want to have one too, please
Sorry. Out of stock ;-)
Corona...😁
VERY popular in the world right now :)

👍👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯❤️
Thank you :)
Hola tengo uno de esos lo vendo
3t gte what tha
Yep. A special engine
@@wasabicars clearly
4 cylinder v8 engine. What?
It's got two spark plugs per cylinder, so 8 leads to the distributor cap, like a V8
The Carina with the same engines are better
Over engineered engine, well at least one engineer though that would be a good thing in case that someone wants to increase the boost👍.
Amazing foresight back when boost was new
