1986 Corolla SR5 S2k Build....
Wassup Folks...
Me and my father in law has beeen working on this project... he bought the car about 6months ago... just shell. From there we slowly got S2k parts...
-Motor is a 2006... we knew it was drive by wire > SOoo i thought all that was needed was a TB... NO. NO NO.. LOL We had to change the complete mani + TB, valve cover + cam sensors,04 engine harness+ ecu, crank sensor + crank teeth sensor > we went over all to a 2004 !!
-Trans is a > 2005 > Stock clutch for now..
- 2 peice drive shaft / Custom !!
- GTS gas tank
- Gts Rear end
- wire tuck
- Stock S2k ecu 04
-3 inch exhaust + Vibrant tip
-JSP engine Mount kit : )
- Spal Fan
- Griffin Radiator ( Suroco Style ) got Custom fitted + water necks turned by CAKES FAB !!
We are also running a S2k cluster.. + s2k dash harness........ : ) wiring has been a mish but almost done...
Car starts now .... just have 3 bugs to get rid of....
I got alot of pics to come...........
START UP VID !! > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wYGEx8rS_A
When we got her !!

Motor...

Trans.....

Steering spline "extended"

OIL pan ... cut n welded cause it was touching > Subframe !!



Subfram... cut and welded !!

Test fit..... did this like 6 times !! .. just to make sure we had enough clearance in the tunnel of the tranny...

Strip down and cover a few holes... then PAINT !!!





3 Inch FTW...


Griffin Rad... With Custom work done to it by CAKES FAB !!
!! DOG POWER !!

wow, amazing build!! Takes alot to tackle that kind of hybrid like that, props to you and your father in law. Should be a great finished product. Keep us updated.
more pics too come....
-for some strange reason.. the temp guage not working > anyone got an idea's ?
-not getting a signal from ecu for the Fuel pump

Looks great! Temp sensor is direct from the ecu to the cluster so unless you cut something you shouldn't have it should work without any additional wiring. For the fuel pump I always simply wire a standard relay into the corolla circuit open relay... But on an sr5 you just have to wire it all seperate. Feel free to pm me with any questions.
Edit
just remembered a previous customer having the same temp sensor issue. He had put 12v to the ecu ground wire. There is very little wiring needed to be done with this swap. Most people overcomplicate it. Pretty much simply need to supply power to the ecu, coils, injectors, o2s, and cluster. Then the ecu ground, starter signal and starter wires. Then battery to the alt and starter.
The key to the wiring is removing everything that is not needed. Here's a before and after pic of the underdash harness for the swap. The top one is stock, part of the harness is out of the pic as well. The bottom one is finished. It simply has the ecu plug, junction plug to the engine harness, cluster plugs, and a plug that I add to interface it with the corolla.

okok... what plug and pin # is that ecu ground wire >? and does that goo straight to a chassis ground ?

plz doo,thanks again
these little stuff are the only thing stopping me from driving it...lol

got more pics coming.....
Just cant get the temp guage to work for nothing : (
i tried diff cluster,temp sensor on Mani............ and nothing

very simple and clean. Hey john, do you remember Lee? Im the one that did the build and swap for his corolla. He spent a lot of time on the phone with you concerning parts.
I was one of the ones where we had problems with it running in limp mode and it was because the 5V sensors such as the map, tps, and ect i had a 12 v power source going to the wire at the junction plug that was for the ground for all of those components. So they were not functioning properly. It sucked because it was the same color wire as another 12v power supply for the o2 sensors i believe. Once i clipped the 12v supply to that and grounded it, it was working perfect.
Sucked that 300 miles later the head dropped a valve because of some faulty machine shop work. Ruined the nice new pistons and head.
But he finally got his motor back together, sent the block to golden eagle to have bored out to 89mm. New head with BC and Supertech complete done head, valves, guides, springs and retainers. Came out great.
Hes got about 800 miles on it soo far and its torquey as hell and runs strong. He is going to put the aem that he has for it in real soon and dyno tune it.
here is the link to it if you didnt catch any of it.

BTW to the original poster, good luck getting it all finished. The wiring was pretty cake, i ended up just building a whole new harness and stuff like that since his was a stripped out drift ready car. Its looking very good and you will love the way it drives. I had an absolute blast driving my buddies car especially with full suspension and all that jaz.
