Turbo conversion info

[nzEP85]

Im looking at biting the bullet and going 4E-FTE sometime in the future for the EP85.

Would someone who has done the conversion give me a list of all the EP82/91 parts required and anything to look out for.

Would be just a factory setup to begin with.

here's roughly what you need.

interior loom

engine loom

ecu

poly bush engine mounts

some kind of exhaust (im going for a front exit)

front mount (until your getting a gt bonnet for the top mount)

clutch

standard manifold, ct9

coil and ignitor

ps pump and lines, dissy etc

i think thats about it.

Cool thanks, we're not allowed front exit exhausts in NZ (unless its a dedicated race car) so might just run the down pipe till I figure something out. Not planning on doing the GT bonnet/front/guards thing so looking at a ST205 water to air setup.

In regards to the fuel pump, I've heard there are issues with running the stock GT pump?

i forgot to say you need a gt pump or you can an uprated pump and they petty much swap over.

remember you need to use the ep85 sump and put an oil return into it

^^^ whys that and does that mean u need to use the pickup from the ep*5 aswell ??

[ep_brad]

because the standard turbo sump doesnt fit because of the 4wd transfer box so you need to use the 4wd one.

you can still use the turbo pick up its just the sump you need to change

i see. thought it might be somethin to do with the different box. stored in my knowledge tank lol
