[4eterc]

[Zeriam]

good Electrical work an somEbody who know wtf dEy doing or u going to cry

[33 hertz]

^ Agreed. First you need a good mech and electrician. You will need a complete engine, gearbox, harness, ecu, axels, you will also need to get a fuel pump, upgrade your fuel lines and you exhaust. You should also change your timing belt, acc. belts, fluids etc.

Are you converting from auto to manual? Talk to reddo 23 he did the conversion recently in his tercel.

[reddo_tuner]

yeah friend, make sure yuh bank fat, iam still in the process of finishing my conversion, all what 33 hertz,said, good electrician and mech. make sure and monitor everything they doing. i doesn't need to be a hassle like what happened to me, where u located4eterc,?

[4eterc]

scene.. thanks das the problem.. somebody tell me it is a simple conversion to do.... i have the engine gearbox harness ecu axels.. dont have fuel pump and is auto for now.

[4eterc]

how long you doing your conversion reddo?

[Zeriam]

a good mEch should takE 2weeks or less with no distractions

[33 hertz]

i could link you with a mech that will do it in less than a week and the man bess, and it is a really straight forward swap.

[Zeriam]

yEp e into E is straight forward swap

[reddo_tuner]

how long you doing your conversion reddo?

too long, it took me two months and all that was done was engine put in and it was wired. This conversion should take like Z, and 33hertz said a two weeks, maybe three, get the fuel pump before ne thing, organize your parts first, then start the process from there.

the only things i would add to this is upgraded front rotors and the starlet instrument cluster.

make sure the engine comes with everything including the map sensor

This is how your planning should go:
(1) Budget cost of swap, purchase of all parts, mechanic fee, electrician fee, exhaust shop fee - pipe, fabrication, de-catting, flex pipe, barrel, labour, cost of replacing consumables, possible machine shop/ fabrication costs, guages, turbo timer, (boost controller if you want to switch boost levels).

(2) Source mechanic/electrician based on expertise with this swap...is a straightforward drop out-drop in but yuh eh want no learning curve with your car.

(3) Budget downtime based on mechanic estimate.

(4) Multiply estimated downtime x 3 to get actual downtime (trust me on this one)

Well I think you got all the advice you'll need here. Good contributions by everyone.

Once again, it is a straightforward swap. Get all the parts you'll need to get FIRST. That way you'd minimize downtime while the swap is in progress and setting aside time to go buy/look for things. IF everything goes smoothly, you could have the car up and running within a week and spend another week for light tuning.

I also have a great mechanic who can handle you - he's based in Chaguanas. PM me if you want to meet him.

scene thank fellas for the info. rell help me out i will let you know the updates

[4eterc]

question about the fuel pump does it have to be from a starlet or could i use another?

[reddo_tuner]

a have an external, but i would recommend getting an internal pump that is designed for turbo cars. It goes inside your gas tank. It can be another, but if u get a starlet , less work.

[Evolved Automotive Ltd]

did this already

1 mount bracket, driver side

1 axel was too long, i believe it was short side

gas tank conversion for high pressure, fuel lines

electrical

shifter pedal from starlet doenst work have to get one from corolla
need to use starlet shifter

and of coursehood scoop, maybe just lift bonnet or go from mount

radiator from 91 0r up corolla

need some brakes those solid rotors u have wont cut it

think thats it
hope those toyotriks help

[sleepertercel]

Supra pump can work

[Evolved Automotive Ltd]
