Gary's 2ZZ-GE converted EP91 track build

[ToyotaTech15]

So it's been a while since I have done anything on here and I have been after a new project but not much had been coming up

Anyways I spotted a cheap Corolla T-sport and decided to do a 2ZZ-GE conversion into a UK ep91

I've not done a heap so far more just planning and thinking but work has begun on removing the old engine and wiring!

I've not bought a starlet yet but I'm sure one will pop up when I am ready to mount the engine

I take it its staying N/A?

Fire me a PM if you need any advice. There are a few tricky aspects of it that aren't in my thread.

[ToyotaTech15]

Yeah will be staying n/a, just looking for something fun again

Ill give you a PM later on thanks

[NewbieLewby]

Nice choice

[ToyotaTech15]

Small bit more progress tonight,

Got the engine lifted out and some wiring removed.

Safe to say the engine and box are needing a good clean before final install into an EP

More as it happens

V interested in this- been thinking of this conversion for ages. Good solid and reliable engines with 190 on tap the cars are dirt cheap aren't they!

[ToyotaTech15]

Some more progress on the strip down of the donor Corolla, also I have found an EP just need to arrange pick up so hopefully in the next week I will have a starlet also

[jonnygt]

This will be an interestimg build and something a bit different.

Good stuff!

[jimmymac101]

Good progress mate

You going to try eek any more power from this ? Manifold, exhaust, mapping ect ect or you going to keep it 100% standard ?

Thanks guys,

Yeah I'm gonna try and gain some more power where I can, in non turbo form with some breathing mods it should be quick and I'll concentrate on chassis also as it will be used on track

[Rich-k]

Really excited for this!!!

[*Pete*]

Going to be an interesting thread

[Amjad]

Great to see you back, looking forward to seeing this progress!

[Japscrapno1]

Keeping an eye on this

[Bluebear]

Brilliant to see you back, and certainly cracking on with what should be a fantastic little project!

Will await updates

[ToyotaTech15]

Not a great deal of picture worthy progress,

The donor Corolla is stripped of parts

Also I have purchased a sportif starlet to begin work from

Once I clear a few jobs in the next week or so I'll get the starlet in and positioned for work to begin!

Aiming to have the engine on mounts in the bay by Christmas!

[Pikey009]

Cracking project mate looking Forward to updates

[ToyotaTech15]

So some more progress recently,

Starlet is now in the unit to begin stripping/fabrication/shell repairs before paint

Interior all stripped and the pile of parts never to be used again

Next is the bay to be stripped

[Rich-k]

Ooooh coming along now!!

[ToyotaTech15]

So more progress on the shell

Engine bay stripped of old engine and box and extra brackets that aren't needed.

Power steering removed

[ToyotaTech15]

Not a huge lot to update recently.

Got a few bits and bobs done over the Christmas period

More of the unnecessary parts from the engine bay removed,

Different servo and master cylinder fitted

Both side engine mounts removed

Non PAS steering rack fitted

I then decided to first try the engine in the bay for size and see what room I have or don't have haha!

Engine will have to be removed again, a few modifications will need to be made before the engine can be test fitted again and begin making mounts

[*Pete*]

Is that rack from a ep82 or ep91?

Is that rack from a ep82 or ep91?
