I don't know if your current compressor can be swapped across but would hope so - they are both 4E blocks after all. If you can take a picture of your current compressor I can show a 4EFTE version for comparison.

Exactly. Probability the seals are looseThe rubber bit of them goes brittle after the first decade.
I found the OEM kit for €350. Not cheap.Your best option would be to buy a complete gasket overhaul kit for the engine. These kits contain every seal for the engine. They go for about 170gbp.
I agree. I prefer to stay low but I went for the whole replacements. Just to know...Let me put together a list. Will take a bit of time just.
Would advise the full gasket kit but depends what you actually need. If you aren't opening the engine it'll seem a bit overkill, although in your position I'd prefer to be looking at it than looking for it.

Check my list. Worked on it for a bit!
I agree. The plan to keep the top mount intercooler is because my mechanic told me he would create a cover for me within the budget because he thinks it’s nice and obviously it will save me at least €450. I’m concerned about the mid range gain with the front intercooler. I will discuss that with him and see what he thinks. My limitation on the budget because of the pandemic is creating stress because I do not want to lose the opportunity to buy the engine. Plan is to spend minimum for maintainance/refreshment to install it in the car. I will upgrade the intercooler and ECU when I will have extra budget.The money you would spend on making the bonnet look presentable would give you the upgraded intercooler along with the midrange power increase that goes with it.
Looking at your pictures I see the same geometry between the screw holes. The draw shows a 4efe Corolla E11 pumpAircon:
Over the years I've deleted quite a few aircon pumps and pipework on Starlets. Power-wise you won't really notice the lack of the driven compressor pulley but as far as weight goes you will notice the lack of all that extra metal. The compressor is quite heavy.
Please note I've never reinstalled this stuff but I did keep a few bits aside in case they turned out useful. Two of the three pumps here seem to be from Glanza V. The wiring differs slightly on the third one, that's all, the mounting points are in the same position. You should be able to compare these to the 4EFE pump, I'd hope they are not too different as it'll make things a lot easier to retain.
Pipework wise I'd imagine the E11 will have longer hoses to the condensor radiator and the evaporator.

I have to say I agree with you. I’ll check out the links. Another thing is required which is adapting the water pipes. The available kits are all for the Starlet. I need adaptable pipes. Do you have any idea how I can do this? ThanksPlus it would stay a sleeper.
They are not too expensive. Is the kit complete with hanging bits? what about the adoptable pipes? Do you have a link for that?This would let you build your own set up
The first intercooler is fairly cheap. I need to understand which kit of pipes I should buy. Please help me with that. I will be happy to provide measures between my radiator area and engine block if this is what helps to choose the kit.As your engine bay is longer
