Starlet__SR Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 ^You're missing the point, it's a sleeper Sleeper. Not shed lol. He mentioned taking it to shows. And besides. You wouldn't think twice when its sat on a set of minilite lookalikes with a tidy tip poking out the back. It would atleast look tidy sat on some nice wheels. Sleepers can come in different forms lolD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Josh@TunerLifestyle Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 this is going to be crazy! to really set the tone think you need a screamer pipe so when you get going it roars! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Seba Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 amazing sleeper Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Taggy Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 It has a full EP82 loom in it which powers the engine but it also has the existing ep70 loom in it, I have wired both looms so when i turn the key it fires up both looms. That way i didnt have to modify anything in the dash, i can use the existing keys, stalks, instrument cluster.Ryan: Yes i like the idea of keeping the existing pea shooter but have a full system hidden in there somewhere, lol briliant I'll get him to weld a little tiny pipe out the back ha ha, I am sure prospeed will help me out with that I will be looking to plum in the fuel lines tonight, maybe even try starting it!So is it the '82 dash loom??

Taggy Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 Got some more work done this evening, had about an hour of good sunlight before it got dark so connected up my fuel tank For those that need to know, the 3 pipes on the fuel pump do the following1. Is a breather2. Is the main fuel feed3. Is the return fuel feed from the rail (small pipe on rail)Video is here of my antics,EP70 (boxy starlet) 4EFTE Turbo conversion part 11: Fueling setuphttp://youtu.be/o0a0cgHYneoSorry its cuts off half way through, phone went dead and then it bloody pissed down, but you get a feel for what i am doing. I turned the car starter over and the fuel pump fired up and pumped fuel into the engine bay, quite literally, fuel filter is knackered so need to order a new one. I couldn't get the pump to work initially but turns out the loom has two earths for the pump which need to be connected, so don't forget those!Really happy the fueling is sorted now, got the major things in place now, so not long before i can start it.this is an epic buid i love it well done fella liking the video diary to. just sat here and read it from the start keep up the good work Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 epic cant wait to see some vids of this thing running are u gonna plum the tank in to the filler cap on the outside? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Taggy Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 Its not possible without doing some serious cutting of the bodywork, i have looked at it already, the fillercap neck goes inbetween the skin of the outside/inside of car. I am just gonna get a filler neck for the tank and then put a fuel cap on top of it which i can close. I'll have to open the boot to fill up epic cant wait to see some vids of this thing running are u gonna plum the tank in to the filler cap on the outside? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
