Martingdavies1985 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I've been looking to build a sleeper & found this on eBay with extremely low mileage & completely unmolested, what would I require to drop a turbo lump in this. I'm thinking 5e 300bhp+ wide wheels on front like a drag car, would I have to change the loom, mounts, what else is needed for it to run? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Martingdavies1985 Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 Would the dash need to come out or is it just the engine loom that needs changing? Seems like a big job could be pretty expensive to source all those bits new Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ep82Ash Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 You would be better off finding a crashed gt and re- shelling into that than sourcing all the parts individually. It would be a pretty cool sleeper if it still looked like that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

daniel_g Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 If you look in the engine tech section far back enough you will find the info, i know this because ive answered this question and similar probably 10 times now haha. But no matter Would the dash need to come out or is it just the engine loom that needs changing? Seems like a big job could be pretty expensive to source all those bits newDash loom is a choice, if you want to use GT clocks then you need the dash loom, if you dont just leave the ep80 dash and loom in. Changing the dash is a piss easy job on a starlet anyway.What looms would I need Daniel interior loom with engine loom or just engine loom?You might get away with only changing the engine ancillary loom, depending on what the ep80 fusebox looks like and whether the GT ancillary loom would plug into it.

RobSR Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 The easiest way would be to get a EP82 GT engine loom and splice the bits you need onto the n/a loom. You'll need to swap a couple of pins around on the ecu too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
