Easyest and chipest way is to fit a stock 4e-fte mate.
Welcome and enjoy!!!!

or you can bang a 5e into it and tdo4 setup might as well do it one time and be done

injectors, gt wiring harness, coil, ignitor, downpipe, oil lines, water lines, computer
if ure keeping the stock bottom 5e you would also need a piggyback with the stock ecu or a standalone to tune the high compressions setup properly

flip me! tht fella with the green sportif has spent alot of time and effort gettin tht car sittin jst rite! fair play to him!! however i was jst finkin of tryin da get an engine out of a glanza or a GT nd fire it in. I was at a Jap breakers in Ballymoney on wednesday gettin door cards and a parcel shelf and asked how much it wud b for all the runnin gear i need. he told me 700 for the engine alone it came with a manifold, turbo, and a top mount. i then wud have to buy a gearbox for 200, 100 per shaft, 100 for the loom, and 100 for the ECU. so 1300 all in which i thought was a bit steep lol

Damn!! Was he even offering a gaurentee with that engine for that price? Im not expert, but I would say that was a little steep!!

welcome to the site :)

i have an sr and im doing the convo at the min. the easiest way is to get a full glanza engine loom (including fusebox and headlight loom) and interior loom + ecu. then just drop a stock 4e fte and gearbox in there. thats a basic/brief list of what you need. but there is a few other bits and bobs you'll need.

thts basically what i was finkin of doin. its jst the cost and gettin the right parts like tht are in good condition nd stuff.
 
i did this conversion last year! and just to add if your gonna do all of the above that rob sr said you will need to make sure all the looms match with the engine e.g if you get the engine out of the ep82 gt turbo then you ill need all the looms out of a gt turbo! and the same for a glanza engine... plus you can use your standard sr driveshafts

thts good then tht saves me 200 already lol i can get a glanza engine ecu and loom for 900 like nd i have tht atm but then i need da save up for the gearbox but i fink i shud hunt around for a cheaper engine coz im not in any real rush.
 
tbh thats still alot to pay mate when i puhased mine it was fully plug and play with all the wiring converted with gearbox ecu and loom all the turbo etc. it was fully reconditioned low millage with bench testing videos and hundreds of pics of work carried out all on a dvd, i was also fully powdercoated inc gearbox and with candyapple red rocker cover and water/oil lines, all that for a £1000, bargain :p

Something else to bare in mind is the insurance.

I would get a quote from an insurer before you do any of the work because chances are it will be more than a GT/Glanza to insure:)

you would need a fmic aswell.u can use the sr starlet box till u get a glanza one,will be fine,shafts are bigger on turbo models aswell.
