Looks great mate . Nice smooth power delivery too, no sudden surprises in the curve, should drive predictably.

Had a few questions about the setup, how did you mount the intake air temp. sensor?

Also with the intercooler piping did you go under the front lower cross member or out and round in through the sides? Any pics with the bumper off?

Also were you using the 4efe fuel pressure regulator or a 4efte unit?

Good job, looks like a nice clean install.

Hi thanks for the comments, firstly the air intake temp sensor is just tied up in the engine bay as it’s not an issue, I’m using the stock 4efe fuel pressure regulator but did have to change the fuel pump as it ran lean top end and I first ran the intercooler pipework under the front crossmember but it looked shit with the na bumper as the bumper fouls the pipes massively so I went for 51mm pipes round the sides and it’s much better I’ll try find a pic

A few more tidy up jobs to do and a few more bits to buy and an mot to sort then it’s off to oulton park in January for a shake down

love this mate took some time but you got there come a long way from the smooth booted bargain you got 

 

Thanks mate it’s a project I never intended taking on but glad I have, it’s not the glanza by any means but it does put a smile on your face

Cars all done and I’m really happy with how it drives, it picks up boost quite quickly and is funny to drive. Boost was wound back from 10 psi to 7 as it was having some valve float at high rpm due to na valve springs. A high flow fuel pump was needed as it began to lean off too much. I want the car usable and reliable so I’m happy with the boost levels and power it made I’m not chasing figures and I feel it’s on the money for what I intend to use it for. I can’t recommend tuning developments enough, they’ve mapped both my sr and glanza v and im more the happy with both results they know what they’re doing and are just genuine people 😀

Picking the car up from tuning developments in the morning so update to follow 😀

I might have a spare map sensor mate, will look tomorrow.
 

How did you set your actuator up?

Also, can you post a pic of the header tank bracket?-  need to make one and it might save me a little time seeing another.

Can you post a full size pic of your avatar? As it looks like a nice one. Really neat and tidy install with the fmic. 

It’s cool I’ve got a map sensor on the way 😀, I’ll get u a pic of the bracket tomorrow mate but it’s just literally a 90 degree piece of steel I bolted to the brake line bracket. I haven’t set the actuator yet Mike at td will do it when it’s mapped 

Looking great 👍

yeh this is what ive been reading recently. the aem piggy back is wired inline with the ignition pulse and map sensor signal wire (braking the wire to go threw the aem controller before it arrives at the 4efe ems unit). it does have its own map sensor also. 

on the d16 build im not sure what the lad used it took alittle modding to get the crank trigger working properly but as for the install my work college did the rest. i will message him now and ask. i simply fitted the det3 with built in map sensor and set up the reference tables.

ill have to double check the part number on my map sensor, im just going of the fact that its blue in colour, if someone could be so kind as to put me a part number up to reference. 

this is a very interesting topic 

@stevie82 are you using the additional e manage 3bar map sensor 

i know of afew more starlets that have aem units ill check them out now.

thankyou for the reply and any information you find claymore I know your research will be accurate on the det3+ we can advise the lad doing the E11 build accordingly. 

Yes u still need to use the additional 3 bar map sensor with emanage as well as a stock 4efte map sensor for it to work

I know If using emanage u need a 4efte map sensor as the software can’t recognise a 4efe map sensor

New glanza injector seals 😀

Don’t suppose u have a stock map sensor?

have you thorough about acl bigend bearings. 

there are alot of bigend failures after mapping. literally with in months. 

fantastic work by the way. this setup should be so quick.   

I don’t plan on touching the internals at all, mike has a customer they mapped a na for with the same set up as me three years ago he uses as a daily and had no issues so far so fingers crossed all will be ok 👌🏻

really looking forward to see the results at TD on this intercooler installation looks really tidy 

Thanks mate it’s getting there slowly 😂, I hope to be booking a trackday soon to shake it down

Looks great this, nice work . Has the wastegate been ported at all or is it standard size? Be interested to see how it does on the dyno at td.

Its been ported to help prevent boost creep

Managed to get a couple of hours in on the sr today, trimmed the front under trays and front dirt guards to fit around the intercooler pipework. Fitted a catch can, made a bracket to fix the relocated header tank. Also managed to nip over and see mike at td and came away with an adjustable actuator and new seals for the glanza injectors. Last piece of the puzzle now is a standard glanza map sensor then it’s going to td for emanage to be fitted and mapped!

New japspeed twin core radiator fitted today with jd tuning mounting brackets, managed to finish the revised intercooler pipework also.

Quick update, decided to redo the intercooler pipework as I wasn’t happy with how it looked so waiting for pipes from auto silicone hoses. Also gone for a dual core alloy radiator so waiting for brackets to arrive from jd tuning. I had some timing belt cover “4efe” replica stickers made up and have one spare if anyone wants it fire me a pm and I’ll post it out foc of course.

It was a wet one last time out at oulton p4 in race 1 and race 2, conditions were awful in fairness worst I’ve ever driven in 😱

What did u get mate can’t really see from the pic ?

fantastic work. 

really is looking very nice. 

is the ct9 a ct9a or ct9b?.

this is going to spool up so fast. 

It’s just the old ct9 from my glanza and yeah I’m hoping for a decent spool time as it’s going to be used for time attack 😀

Not updated for a while unfortunately as I’ve been busy with the boxster, but dug it out of the unit today and finished the intercooler pipe work which I’m not chuffed with so I’ve ordered some more 🤦‍♂️. Gave it a bath too, still some more engine bay work to do and still on the look out for an emb if anyone’s got one ? Here’s how she stands atm

Sorted the topmounts this week made a massive difference in handling, also gonna order new droplinks and a whiteline ARB 

You will get new drop links with the arb they also come with poly bushes mate

Looking good man

Glad your saving it bud just fire me a pm if u need any advice looks like a great base to start from 👍

They do fit, it’s tight but I just pushed the fuel filter back
