DevonGT Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 modded 4wd sump and 4wd oil pickup. done.Didn't know about those, what needs to be modded? Quote
nerosis Posted June 10, 2012 Author Posted June 10, 2012 Gt full loom, gt interior, gt ecu, gt engine custome exhuast, modded 4wd sump and 4wd oil pickup. done.So do i nee the engine loom or the interior loom or both or????? Quote
shorty Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Well if you want a gt interior e.g clocks,elec mirror controls, gt cluster and stlaks etc etc then both. if you just want to turbo your car then engine loom only.The 4wd sump has to be retained due to the transfer box and shape of the surrounding area as the gt one wont fit. due to this the 4wd oil pickup needs to be used as a gt one wont fot the 4wd sump. also an oil return pipe needs welding into the sump to alow the turbo oil return to feed in like a gt sump.If you search the 4wd tech the conversion topic has been covered loads of times. its not that hard if your handy with modding, if your a looks a bit technical for me type then it will be a massive challenge lol.

Shorty Phil Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Ill start looking after you rang that salvage place tomorrow to see what they have in what condition etc But yeah ill get looking around dude!! Quote
Shorty Phil Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 are they 85 mirrors powered already? Can these be plugged into mirror closure on the 82 stuff?? or do you need mirrors aswell?? i really need to come and see this car and get the shit out of it so we can see whats what Quote
shorty Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 No not powered on the 85 so will need to be swapped tbh if you have shitty brown interior it sounds like a low spec ep85 so you will need everything from an ep82 lol also to fit the gt seats use the sliding rails off the bottom of the ep85 seats as the mounts are different.Also get a build thread up in the 4paw owneres section!!

Mikep82 Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 pics of the brown interior? is the dash also brown? Quote
DevonGT Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 I got electric windows and central locking, but no electric mirrors. Quote
shorty Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 Lol i have elec mirrors too, mines also got elec windows and central locking hadnt been inside the car properly for a good few months lol Quote
Mikep82 Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 i got the full package to but without a remote :/ Quote
Griffin Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 Thinkin of puttin a GT tailgate on my 85 because of the tidier lights and meatier spoiler, will I need looms for rear heated screen, washer jet and brake light on spoiler? I know it's been done before but how hard is it? Quote
