well im new to this site and just after buying a ep70 1 litre and wondering is it a lot of work to convert a standerd ep70 xl to a ep71 1.3 turbo

will the engine fit straight in with a bit of wiring ???

wil the back axle fit straight in wit disc breaks ??? and will i need to fit new breaks in the front or will the 1 litre breaks in it do ???

and do the petrol pumps fit straight in or what ???

would i just b better off whit a different engine all together ??? like the gt starlet engine from 1990 up words or would it take a lot more work ??? or a front wheel drive twin cam engine i would do the extra work on the engine mounts or what ever else i would have to do if ye tink i would be better off ???

plzzz leave pictures of what ever conversions ye did on yer ep70 or ideas on what engines ye think i would be better of using sound

welcome along first of all,not much work atall better to by a smashed gt or glanza and use all from that.

wiring is handy if you have everything.pump will fit into your original tank handy enough and the rear disk beam of a gt or glanza and so will the fronts

you sound irish so register up here

plenty of boxys on here and most have had conversions

now sold

done quite abit to my wee nova including,skirt refurb,arches striped to metal and sealed/painted red,manta gte front seats and some ice

should be getting a leather retrim next month and possibly a respray

yeah novas are class

its only a little 1litre pushrod and its dog slow,seats will have to be postponed to the weekend unfortunatley

it is i know but one has to go and i like my nova more tbh lol

seats are corolla si seats and know theyre not iirc but shouldnt be to hard

cheers mate car is for sale but im gonna finish it properly and get it through nct.

havent done much lately as i was flat out working on my nova but got the bumpers resprayed in satin black

and fitted a straight throught xorst with a cherry bomb baps so easily now without flicking the key.sounds similiar to a coupe

and the reason the starlet has to go

got new seats to go into the starlet as well hopefully this eves

oh and why would the fuel tank need changing????

because your car is carb rather than injection so the injection models have the fuel pump underneath the rear seat in the tank and the carbs dont,but you dont have to change the whole tank if you dont want to just put the pump into your own fuel tank tbh lad just keep the engine in it now theyre nippy for what they are,mine is anyway

well depends on what you want I've had a 1.3 efi 2e engine in mine and that was quick,atm I've a 1,3 carb its plug and play and quick for what it is.I've driven an ep70 with a glanza engine that was known to beat gt turbos and that was amazingley quick.your gonna get a lotta replys like the above but unless your an engineer or have a huge bank ancount forget about it,and remember a ep70 is a 33% lighter than a glanza

fitted some mudflaps to keep it from getting dirty so quick

and the new mod

cheers amjad i love your ep91 and you have plenty of diy skills yourself dude

cheers bud

a wee update,got some new metro plates,some rimage

due to quite a low offset the fronts rubbed the arches

after abit of a fiddle with the arches

im gonna trim the lip abit and see does the help as well

didnt have a parcel shelf so made up one from a 106

set about painting the splitter satin black

but then i realised i had no black paint but thought id paint it white

so prepped,masked and primed

dont lke it though

cheers liam,i have a front splitter fitted,standard lights on and some new rimage so will get pics up soon

same engine as mine 88bhp is unbelievable i thought it as about 50bhp lol

cheers dudes

was finished a 2 weeks ago only getting pics up now,

fitted a splitter

put standard lights back on

hope to have a wheel update next week

my inspiration

cheers bud I've got a lip for the front might try and make one for the rear,wheels are of my nova so gonna keep them on her:)

g3 is a cutting compound and a very abrasive one,you would want to watch how often you use it

its more or less finished going to get some nicer wheels though

C+C welcome

some pics i took yesterday of her nearly built up

im gonna flat and polish her this evening

that is tidy looking and welcome from a north-western member

cheers guys

iirc i mentioned doing it white in a previous post because a mate ended up doing his yellow first

needs to be basically finished by sunday

got the starlet sprayed today

looks well mate but that white has got very dull

cheers lad,wheels are sold to a mate whos also restoring an ep70

insurance is mad E3000 for a boxy starlet not sure about novas though nothings cheap now.working on the engine bay and got it resprayed on thursday
