Thats great. Thanks. Did you make the cage or was it purchased?
-
Great thread. Love your car. Do you have any info on the roll cage ? I like the way it ties from the strut tower to the front. Do you have more pics of that?

The tear down and inspection began.
Looks good so far. Nothing major . I have to measure bores and inspect the cylinder head.

I started with the interior to check the condition of the floor etc..
So as I take parts out of the car I discover more things to repair . It's ok it's all part of this game.
Found a decent rust hole at the driver's footwell and a smaller one at the passengers .
I will repair the rust spots and I also plan the strengthen the unibody if I can. I cleaned the area with the rust and used an air saw to trim it.
Now off to find some 1mm sheetmetal to make a patch for it .

So this is how it begins . It's an unknown mileage chassis and engine project. The chassis is a ep70 2 door 1.0 which at some time in its life was converted to a starlet turbo with an 2e-fte telu? I don't know.. i call it 2e-t
I bought boua couple of months ago and it has been great fun.
It has been running ok with a little hunt at idle.. and one coolant leak after another .
The brakes where a mess.. so the decision was taken to stop driving it and restore it .

Cheers thanks

Valvetrain noise is 2 x engine revolution in frequency.
Hope this helps

Hello ! Brown on intake
-
I am restoring this car so as I was stripping the interior it was a good opportunity to tidy things up.

Both engine and body harnesses are off. The engine is about an hour away from coming out
I will be happy with 150 at the wheels if i can with the ct-9.
But i know boost is addictive ..

Cheers will do . !

Great job with your project. I am in the middle of a similar build. I will start posting soon .

Thanks for the reply ! I am removing the engine next week for a tear down and imspection

So my 88 ep71 has the 2e-telu with a ct-9 turbo on it. ( did it come with it?)
i have tried the search for related topics with no luck. Everything is for the 16v motors
Do these engines respond the same way the 16v do as far as turbo mods ? .
I would love 180hp at the wheels .. More is welcome of course but i am not looking for all out top end.

Usually its the wire mesh filter in the drain pan of the box thats clogged up. The pump is trying to suck atf through it making that noise. Dealt with it many times on rav4s and old rx300s .
Remove the pan and the screen and give it a good clean up. If there is a lot of crap on the magnets its not a good sign.

It's big.. don't know if it's worth any effort.
I did notice the cartridge is the same..
