Hey guys I've got a 92 rolla with the standard 2E carby engine. My mate has tolld me that The injected, 12 valve, 1300 Sohc, 2e turbo version from 88 starlet drops straight in. I need to know how much work and what else i need to make this run. I've just purchased loom and ECU. I need to know anything else I need to buy or fabricate. :D

hey Screamin2E,

 

Don't bother with the N/A engine, your best bet would be to search for a used 2ETE from a EP71 starlet, you could even try to get your hands on a 3ETE which is a 1.5ltr SOHC 12v Turbo from the GP Turbo, however these engines are extremely rare to come across.... (I just sold mine hehe).

 

Because you are going from a carby engine to a Injected engine you'll need to upgrade to a decent fuel pump and generally your whole fuel delevery.

 

Your other alternative is to purchase a 4EFTE from a later starlet, now this engine is a 1.3ltr DOHC 4cyl Turbo, but then again you'll need to get harness and ecu and find someone to do your dash wiring too.

 

You will need a brake upgrade, so if you get a half cut, just use the brakes from that, if you have the funds or know how, stick disc brakes on the rear.

 

Also, you may want to stick in the power steering, I believe the EP71/EP82 and EL31 all had power steering (assist).

 

Hope that helps.
