JamesD89 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 how did you fit that strut brace as ive tried to fit the same one with no luck?The front one?. You just need to reposition your fuel filter slightly to make it fit a n/a Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SRdan Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 how did you fit that strut brace as ive tried to fit the same one with no luck? what you having problems with bud? theres a couple of bits in the way so i put the passenger side on then pull back with the other end. fits perfect Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SRdan Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 Please please please get the correct loom unless you have days/weeks of time. I'm trying transfer all my turbo converted 96 parts over to my 98spec SR and it's a nightmare. Everything is different between the 96 and 98 specs, even the dash bar is a different shape/fixings. really that much of a nightmare? hmmm reading all the things i have read i really do think i could fit the 82 engine loom in a day or two, the pinouts on the interior look very similar (more so than the 98spec). all a matter of trial and error i guess ill be selling my turbo kit from my 4efe including det3 with base map. will post it up in the for sale section Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparkythestarlet Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 on mine its seems to hit the black cylinder thing (fuel filter?)on the passenger side so it cant go all the way down? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SRdan Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 on mine its seems to hit the black cylinder thing (fuel filter?)on the passenger side so it cant go all the way down? put the passenger side on first at a slight angle, put the nuts on just winding them up a few turns. then pull the drivers side into place. the leverage will push the fuel filter back enough to get it on. thats exactly how i did it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparkythestarlet Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 ah ok will give that a try mate bit of stupid thing to faf around with as you would think it go straight on lol cars looking good though mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Budnbass Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 That loom that's for sale for £40 in the for sale section looks like it's a 2 ecu plug loom which would fit the ecu I was on about. As Luke said though it would have to be matched up to the engine bay fuse box and matched up to the interior loom. Nothing's impossible It just might take some time!

SRdan Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 thats the one mate. im having it friday with the ecu worse case ill just snip and solder when it comes to the engine fuze box. Done 4 years soldering amplifier contacts so im not really worried about that side of it. If theres an easier way ill do it, really want to try and do it without touching the interior and 82 looks like the way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Walker96 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I think i have some ep82 engine loom sat in my garage can check for you if needed? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lukEp Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) Soldering won't be your problem it's tracing the wires so you know exactly where they go, so you know which wire does what. There are no wiring schematics available for our cars. I'm not trying to put you off trying but it would be alot easier doing the interior loom than trying to rewire the engine bay fuse box. If you just get a 98 specs engine bay loom it will literally plug in, look neat under the bonnet and the dash loom is hidden away behind the glove box.I should have sourced a 98spec loom. If I do it again. I won't be doing it the long way. I've had to change the brake pedal as it's different to the 96spec and won't fit as I've changed the dash bar and the steering column. I've lost the option of refitting the 98spec steering wheel as that won't fit now. A 98spec loom and I would have been boosting by now.

Budnbass Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 It will be a long process, however with this wiring diagram http://www.toyotagtturbo.com/wiki/EP82wiring/EP82%20Starlet%20Wiring%20and%20Connectors.pdf it should be possible. I'll take some photos of the 91 wiring diagrams I've got. I got it easy buying everything from one car but trying to fit Ep82 interior stuff in to an ep91 does no work everything needs to be modified to fit. I see there's a few ep91 glanzas being broke on eBay have you tried them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SRdan Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 bingo. the fellas digging out the fuse box etc and having that too yes mate found someone with 98spec looms but been chopped about loads. i really do think i can do this without touching the interior. I've looked at that diagram and also printed it off ready. all looks simple, its just the 5 connectors that go to the interior connectors. cant be too hard as like you said on your build most wires are same colors.

Budnbass Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 That's a touch if you get the fuse box aswell, it'll be fine anything possible, it wouldn't be fun if it was all plug and play with no challenges! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SRdan Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 yeah not expecting it to be easy. your ep91 diagrams may help. going through google cant find anything like the one on that link you posted Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SRdan Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 Right little update..Bought my 80k 4efte from a GT today. Paid £300 and come with this manifold, ct9 and downpipe.Also has the clutch and fly witch is a bonus.Going to give it a good clean, change belts and service it before it goes in. Was also given a scoob td04 by a mate, little shaft play but will be rebuilt anywaySoooo.. Next stage over next couple of weekends is to take mine out and fit this with the ct9 for now. As said in previous comments I'm going to attempt to use the GT engine looms,ecu and fuze box (hopefully arrive this week) and not touch the interior. Most say it will be a tough job but I'll give it a go and if it works I'll write up a thread for people to refer to as will be easier for other conversions.Anyway, until next weekend (hoping for good weather) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SRdan Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) So my ep82 loom and ecu come today, still has fuse box intact but hoping not to use that as I'll splice into my light loom. Will be labelling everything up over the next few days using the link DUBNBASS posted. Pin outs are pretty much the same for interior so will be reading and getting a plan down. Anyway engine will be coming out sat, will clean up the bay ready for the fte on Sunday and start of wiring. Edited February 21, 2017 by SRdan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SKINY Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Bargain for that engine mate, watching this closely and still gathering bits. I'm going the same way with the electrics Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SRdan Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 Yeah bud. Fella said it was a 4efe bottom end on it so I took the gamble and its 100% fte lol. Come with turbo and manifold (will be selling)As said I'll be making plans and jotting down what I do as I do it and I'll write up a wiring thread. Not going to be straight forward but will get my head round it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lukEp Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Have you checked the stamping on the crank? I know my 4EFE has an FET crank but other 4EFE engines just have FE crank. My FET crank pictured above. The FE has smaller counter weights were as the FET crank has larger counter weights. He might have said it has a 4EFE bottom end because he's had it rebuilt with a 4EFE crank. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SRdan Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 (edited) It's never been opened bud. No rebuilds nothing.I will check though. It's Defo 100% fte block. He was referring to what is said on the block where the engraving is Edited February 22, 2017 by SRdan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
