Hi! Just saw your answers. Connection was bad in Sardinia. Remember you suggested a IC with a pipes kit last year? Those are the ones I already bought. In order to fit the front IC I have to cut the chassis and put a U bar to set the IC. I first want to make sure the engine runs well with all the vacuums and stuff. I am right now need to make The upper intercooler efficient. I still didn’t find the plastic top. I asked the guys who sold me the engine and they don’t have it either. Then I will have to add aluminum in plates around the hole in the hood and make a rain collector that can get the water out of the way from the injectors. Anyone can show me an example?

So far we cut a bonnet and put a grill bit the seller didn’t send me the plastic IC cover. How do you suggest to seal it? Yes, the plan is to put a front mount IC, but the one you suggested me to buy last year is too high and it won’t fit. I don’t want to cut the front chassis to fit it so I need a different front mount IC solution. I will have to sell the one I bought. In the mean time I need to seal the top mount IC.

This is true. I actually remember that every time I open the tank it does that sucking noise! I want to replace it but maybe put a smaller one? Or maybe do as you said with a motorbike tank valve? Where exactly should I connect it?

Can you link me a smaller version I can buy because the Corolla can is too big now. It’s actually full so I would put some thing lighter.

Sorry for the late reply. I am in Sardinia for work and Internet is very. So the engine is running well. We still have to connect the dashboard grounds because the RPM on the dashboard is not stable. There are two ground connections on the ECU that need to be connected properly in order to make the instruments work and avoid the risk to burn the ECU. As soon as I go back we will finish the job. The engine is running well. Of course we just did a first test before I left but we are happy that the mechanics are good and the main electric connections has been connected. We will obviously need to go deeper and step-by-step double check everything on the dashboard and ECU connections. I would love to put the switch on the dashboard to connect from low to high boost. Maybe you can tell me how to connect it?

Here’s the connector I do not know. My friend was talking about boost control. If so then I don’t have the boost control valve. I thought lose control had the connector am showing below and it should be the vacuum on the left side of the engine in front connected to the turbo intercooler air output.

Thank you for this information. I have the Corolla canister that is quite big. What’s your suggestion? Should I remove it and put something smaller? You are suggesting to take the blue valve off and blank off the small hose? I am not in front of the engine right now but if I remember well there are two big hoses that go in the blue Volvo and one small hose that go from it to the canister. Is that correct? your idea is to get rid of them all and put the motorbike tank valve? I would have to buy three of them for the three hoses? Can you send me a picture of the details whenever you have time? Thanks I found two pictures. One shows the valve with the two hoses. They are not three. My apologies. One goes in the valve and one goes to the canister. How should I modify it? should I put the motorbike tank valve straight in the hose coming from the engine? The other picture shows a connector that we cannot figure out. What is it? My friend was talking about bus control I thought that loose control was the valve with two hoses attached on the turbo air outlet. Can you confirm that?

Thanks!

Thank you for the info guys! i’m figuring out what this connector is. Can you help?

I bought this air filter for engines below 1600 cc.

It is catchy. They do not fit. They touch the steering pump bracket. We are modifying it right now because I refuse to modify the bracket. We will see if it still works and doesn’t leak.

Thank you. I temporary put some nuts to bring the car to the shop. The guy will use some washers when he finishes the modification. The downpipe has to be cut and has to go around the lower chassis. I bought the lambda for the downpipe with one wire. My boy is getting the wire to its original connection. Now I really need now where the 2 air hoses (vacuum for low rpm) can be connected. One pipe comes out of the lower throttle. The other from the lower part of the inlet. The are short and hanging there. Can you help? these two air hoses go where they should. Should I modify some thing here to connect the two RPM air pipes? does this make sense? If so, how and which hose where? thanks

I forgot to ask. Which nuts size and step should I buy for the turbo CT9 exit for the downpipe? 90179-08082

And it is very much appreciated. Are you guys are helpful and I believe that all my questions and digging is precious for everybody on this platform. I spent thousands of euros and months of research to make this beautiful dream happened also gained by your pride and love for these engines. I am glad we are here exchanging great energy. today I will see my boy to continue the work. I received the down pipe from tune developments. Hi will work on a few things and then try to figure out where those two vacuum pipes (that originally go to the vacuum pump on the Starlet) Will get hooked on my Corolla. My car has that acid pump input on the steering pump. I need to do the same elsewhere. I hope you can help with a simple example. first issue is to adopt the free hose pipes that originally go to the vacuum pump that I do not have because the Corolla uses the steering pump to vacuum. I need a solution. I bought oil Sandwich gauge but it doesn’t fit because it touches the steering pump bracket. We will have to try to peel some metal off it to get it in line. i’m not even thinking about taking the bracket off and ruining it for a gouge adapter. let me know if you can help with the pipes please.

Thank you Sam! We are going step by step, function by function. If you have an updated diagram with the ECU outputs for the auto to manual ECU fix it will be very useful. We are using the amnuals and ECU pinout info.

Thanks. I spent €120 to exchange connectors on the stearing pump and AC hoses to keep my Corolla pipes but use the fte steering pump and AC. THE GUY IS A PRO AND BUILDS PIPES FOR Ferrari.

Hi. Yes I bridged the gearbox connector. I saw it in a video. A British kid dis the auto to mNual conversion on a Starlet.

These wires are all functions listed here. What do you suggest?

This is interesting. Will discuss it with mp partner tomorrow. In the meantime we fixed the cracked peace. It holds so far. But I do wanna plan upgrade using all this info as soon as the engine will rune with all its sensors and wiring. We are at 70%. We did crank alternator fuel pump vent sensor water temp sensor Consider that all the extra loom parts has been cut from the Starlet fusbox loom to be integrated in the Corolla fusebox loom. Not an easy task.

Amamzing. I will check!

I feel you! Hope all is well

Funny story the sandwich doesn’t fit. I went to research and I found out none of them fit if you don’t forge some space in the steering bracket. Not gonna docthat. I’ll try to adapt the filter adapter instead.

Thank you Sam. I need some pics of how the air hoses are connected to the blow pff valve. my issue now is that the 2 free air hoses that normally go tocthe vaccumm pump on a Starlet, on a Corolla go to the steering pump. So how am I gonna fix this? Thank you all Corolla

Anyone still here? I’m having trouble with a few hoses. Swapped the engine in a Corolla. I don’t want to leave anything hanging. The two pipes I have a loose are apparently one for water and one for air. One of those plastic spirals is holding them together. @Jay send me a picture of the throttle. Number two is next to another hose which isn’t on the throttle but on the inlet right next to it I need to know how to connect them and where. Thanks
