  1. I just finished my rhd to lhd conversion, looms are original and untouched besides the obvious modifications needed for lhd (mostly dash harness suffered these).
    When engine was going back in to the lhd chassis the original TPS got broken so I ordered a new one, aftermaket but just like the original 3 wire on/off switch type.
    When starting engine it sometimes has a hard time to do so. When it does it idles a little jerky. And when I touch the map sensor, the car dies..I thought bad wires, but its not the case because I tried a diferent map sensor, from a 2jzge (non turbo)...it starts at the turn of the key and I can move the sensor around and it doesn't die. but since its not a turbo map sensor it does not go into boost. Another thing I noticed is with the original map sensor, the boost gauge is always light up to the max and never comes back, unlike the 2jzge sensor.

    After all this reading can somebody give me a hand?

    More info, I'm using a mk1 ECU with a mk2 harness. I know the mk1 and mk2 ecus have slightly different pinouts but I corrected these....should I move them back?

    really puts me out after so much effort on this project

  2. Hello, I'm currently on a conversion progress (right handed ep82 to left handed ep8*) so I can run a turbo starlet on my country...
    Got the engine runnning recently after being stored a few years, runs OK, heats up a bit...but the main problem is I've got the radiator fan running whenever ignition is on and a high idle....don't have the cluster plugged in yet (mk2 loom and mk1 cluster, needs rewire).
    Sounds like idle is at about 1500 -1800 rpm... I know when you remove the A/C you need to bridge some conector to stop, at least, the rad fan, but since I didn't remove it myself, I don't know wich one it is. Can someone help me with this? Some photos maybe?
    If interested, its a mk1 Auto ECU, mk2 loom, turned to manual...removed all extras including P/S and A/C...these parts will be for sale if someone wants them.. They were in working order when the car was stripped 3-4 years ago. <

    Thank you

  3. Hello starlet gods, im here to see if any of you cam find/ take a photo of a mk2 cluster/clocks...i recently got a full mk2 loom to put on my mk1 since mine was all f'ed up. (Many thanks to the member who supplied it!) My main problem now is to join the mk1 cluster (2 plugs, all identified) on the mk2 loom wich has 3 plugs and I cant get any info about wich wires do what...

    Heads up on people attempting mk1/mk2 swaps...a lot of sensors on the engine bay need the apropriate connector plugs, quite a few to replace on looms.

    After finishing this, i can make up a little guide on everything that needs to be done.

    Thank you, keep them starlets alive!

  4. Hello starlet enthusiasts!

    Im from the Azores and I am in a middle of a far too long swap ep80 to ep82 lhd, so I can run it 'legal' Namsayin'!? Hehe

    I just posted on the wanted section that I am in need of an almost complete wiring loom for the mk1 ep82, a messed up loom was in my existing car, maybe some of you experts could handle it, but I don't have the time and patience....

    So, im hoping to post videos and photos of the car soon (that would mean id be driving it :p) its been far too long just looking at it and no vrum vrum.

    In the meantime ive been terrorizing my neighbours with a lightly moded Polo G40, cant wait to run the two together and see wich car wins :)

    I just recently bought an AE101 Marino Sprinter, 20v Silvertop (bwaaaa), the engine will go most probably to an 86 or kp6*...i do have the entire car for parts in case someone wants...it crashed tho..

    Hope all of you are ok and your starlets bulletproof :)

    Ariot!

  5. Hello from Portugal!

    Most accurate from the Azores (the little set of small islands in the atlantic you probably never heard of hehe)

    As the title says, Im in need of a wiring loom for a mk1 EP82 starlet, i need the loom from the headlights to the fusebox (included) and the wiring loom behind the dashboard....so pretty much everything aside the engine loom and rear loom

    Can anyone of you guys supply this? Reason is a messed up swap on the current starlet, sniped and snaped loom.

    Please say yes! It would be the only ep82 running in portugal!

    Thanks
