IS A DRIVESHAFT SEAL IN A TRANSFERBOX OF A EP85 A PUSH IN RING SEAL?? ARE THEY HARD TO GET??

thanks lads ;) for sale now!!!!!! ;)

hi lads i have a rwd ep85 im doing a 4efte swap but i have a ep91 engine loom will this work with ep82 ecu ??? thanks in advance

i wasent aware the pistons were the same, if they are thats grewat news, i have the same engine means that the compressions is adjusted by the headgasket thickness

score thanx for sharing your info and pics on the pistons.

no bother man they look the same anyways

no

from 95 onwards the 4efte was revised having na rods which should explain it if it came from an advance

it was a 95 car alri are the pistons the same??? they show no difference at all??? also are piston rings same???

i have to buy a new headgasket now and i have my mobile mechanic to come build the engine back up for me

aye is that a glanza 4efte? would explain the thinner rods

not sure man it came from a gt can ya tell from the engine number??

done a bit with this also found this here is the car http://youtu.be/JWdrTEprthc

posting this here as its so hard to find info about this chaced the vid up and found the site in japan the lad shows how to convert the el45 corsa to rwd

here is the shaft that has the viscous coupling on it made solid

next take out the front shafts but only the bar and inner joint

next you have to use the outer joint to hold the wheel and bareing together you can use a old cv joint as it does nothing only hold it together

the car in the vid only has trd coilovers boost turned to 0.7 and full exhaust

here is a pic of the car

anyway i got a bit done with my one got the non turbo engine out

cleaned bit of rust around the battery tray

cleaned the bay too [not done fully yet]

next i got this bad boy out

and done this

#

next on the line was sump i have to keep the ep85 one but it has no oil return????

was a dope and let the engine fall and it landed on the ecu connection of the new loom and smashed it to bits so i used the 4efe plug and had to pin it out was sick!!!!

also removed power steering dont like it in rwd cars or in starlets anyways

also got the intercooler sitting good too

took the 4efe rods and pistons out and they are thicker than 4efte ones ??? and pistons are same too same numbers on them and everything

turbo on left and non turbo on right

Its auto that isn't it? Otherwise, would get the more sliding action.

JUST NO DIFF/LSD/WELDER TO HAND ID SAY

FOUND OUT WHY ITS RWD FRONT DRIVERS DRIVE SHAFT HAS POPPED OUT ABOUT HALF INCH PUT IT BACK IN AND IT WAS GRAND TOOK THE 4EFE OUT TODAY GEARBOX IS DRY EVERYTHING SEEMS 100% SO FAR

thanks lads i cleaned up the engine and rocker cover and intake wire brush drill head done some job

also started stripping the engine loom and 4efe engine out will get pics later tomoro also got the frontmount sitting properly well best i could

was reading site above some good info on fr setup is the carona shaft a solid bar?? no vicous on it??

good work man , so whats the story with this car then, what ya done or broke to have it rwd?

tell you the story behind it now... friend of mine got it for 400 he put new wheel bareings in to it 4 new tires cleaned her up a bit he tried everything to make it rwd and failed so sold it because it was kinda slow ha 4efe.. so he sold it to paul first poster on this topic he had it only 1 nite and he noticed all of a sudden it was rwd no noises or bangs so he had it for 3 months was doing roundabouts in the wet ha ha let it run low on oil bigends went then i got it for 250euro had a evo 4 for breaking used sideskirts got a gt engine loom clocks [i dont need] fuel pump coil for 200 so its not as if i am at a big loss i love starlets always had one will always have one...ever since seen my friends ep85 fully gt converted always wanted one but too hard to come by....this may do now ha its really just a runaround have a evo as my proper car...thats it now also the car is not any slower rwd still a nippy little car close gears is cool is there anyway to convert a 4wd to rwd???

OOOSH OOOSH OOOSH dont get your knickers in a twist
