Jeffmunro Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Hey guys I have a starlet gt turbo ep82 it has td04 conversion at 0.6 bar jam ecu fmic dump valve abd loads of other parts it runs beautifully but it seems everyone and their dog has a starlet and they always seem to blow up? i have paid a lot of money for this car and absolutely love it but I’m not a mechanic and if the worst happens then I wouldn’t be able to fix the car myself and I don’t want to own a money pit it seems even if the afr is correct there are still so many factors that would cause the engine to go are starlets reliable? Should I sell up? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cattanach Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I had my gt for nearly 3 years without any problems! Only 1 thing went wrong and that was the oil seals on the ct9 turbo! But it had done 90k miles and was being run at 1 bar boost so was bound to go eventually haha apart from the usual wear and tear items they’re as solid as toyotas come!
