Hi Guys,

Mate is getting the wagon soon, Just wondering what parts we will need to convert her to efi, got the head and intake + wiring and computers, but what else will we need? and how do you go about the fuel pump?
Cheers
Chris

the efi fuel pump just bolts in but you have to use
EFI rated fuel line

at the pump and the fuel filter

deanimus link on his TR carby to efi conversion

you need the exhaust manifold

the front wiring loom needs to be from the same model car and gearbox
so auto loom or manual loom

wagon pump has to have an efi wagon pump

the sedan one may be different

cant find anything in the repair manual

Does the GLX head have solid tappets or hydraulic lash adjusters? If your'e not keeping the old head and it has solid lifters I'm after one to have a play with a cam I have.

:yeahthat:

if you need solid tappets get a set off a
sigma 2.6 head

I have a cam for a 4g54, and a few bits of rocker gear to go with it. I think it has solid, will have to double check, and I heard if its designed for solid I cant put it in a hydraulic head? I have no head at all to put it in at the moment.

Ahh ok, looks like were going to have to get a wagon fuel pump then....
The head probably wont need to be used, from memory its an m4 head
I know i have to put the efi loom in, does that mean the 'body' loom will have to be from a wagon or can we adapt the sedan one to fit...

have to change out the whole of the front loom under dash and engine

also the dissy/ coil /exciter/under engine fuse boxes
stuff that needs to be there so the efi works

took us 4 days

new info edit

nothing in the repair manual about different efi pumps
between sedan and wagon

if both tanks have the pump underneath the efi pump from a sedan
may fit
