SRdan

Hi all Been a rough couple of months. Made some good progress on the SR a few weeks ago. Since then one of my lads has had some serious health problems so lost all interest. I'm gutted but what's gone on has knocked me for 6, really don't have time to Finnish her off so not sure what I'm doing with the SR just yet

No sorry bud. Last clear one I tried taking off ended up snapping

Got a black Glanza spoiler here with one in bud. 40 posted for spoiler and light

I'll have a look see if what will work. Could save a job doing it that way also. Is it removable then? I haven't looked as haven't got round to that bit tbh

little update. The sr is all back together 98% done now. just have the tps and map connectors from the 82 loom too add and split the thermo wires from the single 4efe connector to run 3 connectors for the 82 engine. then add fluids and bleed clutch then it should fire up. id be telling porkies if i said this was easy, but in all fairness it has not been overly hard. hoping to have it all done and boxed off by next weekend, id imagine there will be a few teething problems as with any engine swap.

PM on way James.. I've managed to get the high pressure one to fit. Just the low pressure one I need

I'm after a 4efte power steering hose for my conversion. After sending money for one off of a lad on one of the Facebook page's the lad has decided not to respond. Someone help please. Tia

Started stripping my 82 loom. Tracing the wires I need back to ECU etc and labeling them as to where they will go on my 4efe loom. So far all seems easy enough, few more connectors to sort as the 4efte had 3 connectors to the thermostat housing rather than just the one. Anyway I'm writing down what I'm doing as I go and taking pictures. Will also be writing what wire goes where etc. Will post up a how to thread if anyone feels this would be helpful. Big benefit with doing it this way is you shouldn't have to touch the interior (apart from adding ecu and few wires to it)

Did think this myself as had the det3 already wired in. However coil is completely different and much safer with knock sensor. Also fte ecu is able to read boost where as the standard ecu doesn't. The det3 just chucks fuel in with the boost rather than read anything (in piggy back anyway) not sure on standalone

Got some here going cheap. Tyres got really decent tread £80 They are black though

engine is in. now im currently fitting the 4efe loom to everything that it fits, once ive done this i will take off the sleeves and add and take away what bits i need/dont (it really isnt that much) then re-sleeve.. not the best way to go about it but will make ity easier to trace back wires etc hoping to be back on the road for next weekend

yes bud thats the only issue i can see. i have the ep82 fuse box here so i can see what goes where.. sounds like a nightmare but i really do think i can have the wiring done over a weekend

yeah that pretty much what im going to try. read a few builds now of people just adapting the 4efe loom to take whats needed. this way round you don't need to touch the interior. heres a little gem i found on another page.. This seems like a daunting task, it really does, but some things I did for my conversion using an EP82 loom/engine/ECU which may help you are... - Try to use as much of the EP91 loom as you can, all you should end up doing is chopping a few connectors (because they don't fit on the EP82 engine) and running a few extra wires to the ECU - Try to use your EP91 altenator, air conditioning and starter motor. Yes, they fit fine. If you already have power steering then happy days, but if not you can add the EP82 gear no worries. - Depending on the EP82 year model the general wiring differences are: - The temp sensor plugs, the EP91 has 3 wires on a single plug, the EP82 has 3 plugs. 1 Wire is for the temp guage on the dash, one goes to the HVAC module (which apparently the EP91 doesn't have!) and one goes to the ECU. - The oxygen sensor is a single wire on the EP82, the EP91 is a 3 wire so you'll need to swap that out, the 2 extra wires on the EP91 are not used at all on the EP82 - You don't have a knock sensor on the EP91 so you'll have to run that wire from the ECU to the knock sensor - The idle ups are same but different (EP82 has 2 idle ups for A/C/electrical load maybe?). On the EP91 you have a single idle up with 2 coloured wires (one is not an earth) whereas the EP82 has 2 idle ups, both have a single coloured wire and a shared earth. - One thing that caught us out was the MAP sensor. It seems the EP91 signal wire is shared in the loom somewhere, so we have to run a new wire for it. - TPS plug should be the same, the difference is the pinout on the ECU - Biggest hassle was sorting out the ignition system, it's not that bad really but it is quite different. - Even though they look the same, the EP91 loom ECU connectors are slightly different shapes to the EP82, same number of pins but the actual plug points are different size. What you can do is get a hair clip and pop the wires out of the plugs, so i would really suggest using the EP82 ECU connectors I kept my A/C and also converted the EP82 power steering into my car, all that is left on my car is the idle up wiring, I can't find where the wires run from... at the same time i haven't really bothered to fix it just yet.
