nano Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 hi,my car is an ep91 n/a no abs no power steering no ac and I d like to turbo it.I have: a ram horn mani, ct9, downpipe, exhaust, intercooler... I also have: fte inlet, air intake temp, map sensor, injectors, coil and ignitor and knock sensorwhat is the best way to go ? what ecu should I take, the gt or glanza one and as for the TPS?thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fozzie Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I hear that the best option is to use the wiring from a car that is the same model as yours, so go for Glanza ECU. I'm sure you could make a GT Turbo one work if needs must though. Not sure about the TPS I'm afraid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Sounds like youve got most it sorted but.There is more than 1 way to go about this conversion.From where you are,Get a Glanza loom from the same year starlet as yours.Get a thermostat housing with sensors aswell.Glanza ECUUse a FTE TPS, is there not one on your your inlet? Remember to set it up.If your ram horn manifold doesnt clear your PAS pump you can swap to a Glanza pump, need brackets too.You will need a FTE oil filter housing aswell.

TRD-1 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Im pretty sure you will also need the FTE distributor and glanza sump or drill yours. The FTE oil filter housing use's a longer union bolt so make sure you have that to. I did this conversion on a Corolla and used a GT ecu (due to the 2 plugs) and the stock Corolla wiring but just added the extra wires for the extra sensors, the GT ecu has 2 plugs, the Glanza ECU has 3.

nano Posted June 8, 2017 Author Share Posted June 8, 2017 thanks for you reply. yeah I know for oil filter distributor etcit is more about wiring. my ep91 has two plugs I think. that's why I wonder which ecu to take. will the 2 connectors of my car will fit a gt ecu ?as for the inlet I only have the many, not the throttle body and tpsknock sensor is one wire, so won't be so difficult for the this.

nano Posted June 8, 2017 Author Share Posted June 8, 2017 and why do I need to change thermostat housing. I compared it with my gt (glanza engine) and they look the sameone for the dash gauge, one for the fan and one for water temperature Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Dont change it then.Some are different. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TRD-1 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) The thermostat housing on the FTE also has two extra ports which supply/return coolant to the turbo they are needed if your fitting a CT9 turbo or a water cooled turbo. If your wiring in a knock sensor or any distributor/oxygen sensor wires remember to shield them from interference. Im not sure about the ep91 NA ecu connectors, but have a look at them and compare them to the GT ones and see if they are the same. However the wiring will be different not way off though this is why you need a pin out of the GT/Glanza ecu and of your ecu so u can change/add/remove wires to get it all to work. Also check the fuel pump relay wiring, as on mine it was different, but im not sure about the ep91 NA Edited June 8, 2017 by TRD-1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nano Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 Hi I m adding o2 distributor and knock sensor loom for a gt conversion. All the shieldings go To a connector with brown wires but they are cut.
