let's try it here.
a friend of mine has a ep70 boxy starlet and he had a badly worn out engine.
was using a lot of oil and running a bit to lean. had a stock 1.3 carb engine with 100 vacuum hoses. very prone to problems.
so... he thought: rip out the engine and fit something else! something better!
he bought a 5efe block but turned out that the seller screwed us with a bad block. crank was shot...
think... think.... toyota is like lego! so why nog throw something together from a big pile of parts?
and the idea was formed to build a new type of engine. combining parts from a 2E, 2E-E, 4EFE, 5EFE engine.
first up: stripping the car down:
derusting the bare 2E block
Masking
primer
also working on the gearbox
gearbox painted
fitting the new larger radiator
quite massive compared to the old one
gearbox all painted up
engine has the last coat of paint on it
2e-e ecu now fits on the p7 ecu brackets.
strippen!
clutch pump wast in the best condition anymore, swapped it for the ep81 version which fits after a few modifications
en ep82 brakes are better aswell, so we modified it to fit on the ep70
cleaning!
rdy for sanding
decided to paint the engine bay black so the red engine will stand out nicely
looking good:
in the meantime toyonut was fiddeling with the wire looms.
as we mixed up 4 types of engines the loom needed a lot of work
also fitted a home made lower arm bar
custom brake cylinder stopper
put the front end back together
don't underestimate the work that goes into the loom everything is custom on this build
painting parts...
new disks, pads, repainted..
why buy if you can make it yourself?
custom copper headgasket in progress
it fits

more goodies!
block was rehoned to fit the 5E pistons
fitted pistons: (cleaned the 5E pistons)
had to machine the oil pump sprocket a bit
finally we get to the assembly of the engine
nice and clean
copper headgasket
fitting the head:
parts parts and more parts
bling!
everything bolted to the engine, time to fit the gearbox
box fitted
rdy to drop it in
and in she is
and last but not least! she ran for the first time!
fuelpump was busted so we started her on brake cleaner but she fired up straight away.
so now we need to finnish up the loom, exhaust and a lot of small fiddely bits but she's getting there!
we have a runner!:
