nerfbat Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 (edited) hi guys, so, i got lucky and talked Ryan into doing a deal for his EL31 GP2 Turbo specs are: 3ete 1.5l turbo 4spd auto(3spd plus O/D) TEMS adjustable suspension this beauty only has 108,000 k's on the clock, and it shows..! everything still feels near new plans are to tint the windows, proper lowered springs, and get a decent exhaust restore the paintjob, redo the stickers on the drivers side then drive to the RC meets and shows, til something breaks, can't find parts, and cry pretty much how i got her more to come Edited September 15, 2012 by nerfbat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nerfbat Posted September 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 came with a RWC so all i had to do was race to the Dept Of Transport when i finished work on Friday to register her. Rob and I, drove to Dave's work to show him and take her maidenhood, well sorta, and give her a short cruise but i didnt want to drive her much til i changed the oil/filter/auto fluid etc washed her today, and took her for spin, after the service took some pics at Uni along the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nerfbat Posted September 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 came across this info when searching today, as i have nfi: " Specifications: Year: 1986 - 1991 Displacement (cc): 1456 Horsepower: 113 @ 5600 Torque (ft-lbs): 127 @ 4400 Bore (mm): 73 Stroke (mm): 87 Compression Ratio: 8.0:1 Vavles per Cylinder: 3 Valve Angle: 0° Cam Design: SOHC Ignition System: Distributor Spark Plug Gap: .044" Fuel System: Fuel Injected, excess fuel return Cars Used In: Corsa GP Turbo, Corolla II General Info: The beefed up version of the 3E-E, the 3E-TE again is very similar to the 3E-E with the exception that it is turbocharged. This update necessitated a new exhaust manifold, stronger connecting rods, lower compression pistons, and larger injectors. There is not much known about this engine as it was only sold overseas. It is assumed the valve stem seals will go after 100,000 miles the same as the other 3Es. Similar / Interchangable Parts: Valvetrain: 3E, 3E-E Block: 3E, 3E-E Crankshaft: 3E, 3E-E Connecting Rods: 3E (downgrade), 1st gen 5E-FE (downgrade), 2nd gen 5E-FE (1995-1996, downgrade), 2nd gen 5E-FE (1997+ downgrade), 5E-FHE (upgrade) Pistons: 3E (higher compression), 3E-E (higher compression)" the bit i highlighted, seems true to these, from every thread i came across...this has just gone over the 100k mark then i am sure they are on the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nerfbat Posted September 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 yeah mate. still there at random times. today i noticed a few things needed tightening under her, so hopefully its just something like that. having said that, tho, it did sound frighteningly like a bearing, hey...

towe001 Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 At random times :hmm: If it was an engine bearing, it'd be under certain load conditions wouldn't be random i don't think. Maybe an oil pressure gauge might be the order of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
