UKSO was the first community to get me into the car scene. Its the reason I bought my Starlet. Even ended up in the motor trade because of it xD

It is a massive shame that the forum is dead now. I see most activity is on Facebook groups. And that goes for most of the car scene these days.

Forums are definitely an old skool thing. I always tell people to check forums and I get odd looks LOL.

Hopefully the site will stay up. I'm on and off with my Starlet build. Will HAVE to get it looking presentable this year as buying a house and cant have the eyesore that it is outside a new house lmao.

Plenty of resources and material on here. I've not come across another forum like this!

Who will be mapping the car? Are you wanting to fit it before hand to save some labour costs?

No idea who will map it atm, ill have to find someone around london (im based in east london), but yeah ill wire in the emb and then just get it mapped.

I wouldn't use the mx5 part. 

you can keep the waste gate open (using a spring & disconnecting the turbo actuator.) now keep the 4efe injectors in and it will drive nice to were ever you want it. then install the 4efte injectors & EMB and clip the turbo actuator back in place.  

This sounds good mate, ill do that, cheers boys!

I havent installed my EMB to my build yet, still doing the bolt on bits. My EMB was mapped for an MX5 turbo if I remember correctly. 

Once the engine work is done and im ready to run the engine and leave idle/drive onto trailer, whats the best thing to do? Run with standard 4efe ecu, run with EMB with whatever map is on it, or run EMB with a base glanza map? Or what other suggestions are there?

Im not clued up with management and mapping really, so not sure how to handle the situation before its mapped.

Thanks

I hope youre still active or will reply to this lmao.

Youre running stock 4EFE ecu, have you got a piggyback on it i assume? if so which? or what have you done for mapping? cheers

Right first time mate I’m a fitter ! Didn’t need to pull it out as it’s so soft it just plenished out the bench just happened to be under the ramp😂

Hahaha brilliant mate. Yeah I was thinking they're so soft you wouldnt need to tug it. My scooby rear end popped out with a block of wood and sledgehammer. Soft like paper these jap cars. Just seen the turbo setup looks noice.

Welcome back mate. I too have recently returned 😂😂

I'm gonna guess a mark 2 or crown aswell. 

Looks good mate. You gonna slap ct9 kit on too yeah?

Brilliant build mate. I see you pulled the arse out on a Celette bed, did you build all the brackets up for that?? I thought at first you're probs a fitter but I reckon you're a beater now hahaha

This looks mad! Looking forward to updates.

Looks mint mate

She runs and sounds great. I stuck the cat and centre pipe on loosely so it wasnt too noisy. Needs a service but will do that during ct9 setup. 

I've decided to go with Emanage Blue for piggyback. Over the years theres been plenty of these 4efe-turbo projects and they mostly run emb. Theres a few other options for piggyback but as I already have the emb I'll stick with that.

I do also have an older dastek unichip which was my first choice. 

If anyone wants to shed light on either options that'd be cool.

I did also think about going Det3 as most Corolla guys do. However that means forking out for more crap lol.

Thanks mate.

It's a Sportif. So bog standard, no PAS, no electric windows, just the way we like 'em 😂

So it's been 4 years and this project didn't die. Basically it got parked up as I dailied the T Sport. Then a valve got stuck open due to a valve guide getting stuck.

*Edit* the valve got stuck on the starlet, incase it wasnt clear because I mentioned the T Sport.

Speaking of T Sport, that got red lined to phuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhck. Then my cheap ebay aluminium oil cap came loose and popped off on the motorway. She then came to a smokey holt. Game over for Lolla the Rolla.

I then used 2 different Mk2.5 Mazda Mx5's as my daily. One will be sold as it's a low miler and the other will be skidded to death. *End of Edit*

So last year I bought another 4efe engine at 30something K miles.

It got dropped in last week.

Waiting for injector seals to come then can be fired up!

Once running nicely, I'll start bolting on the CT9 kit as planned.

SHTUTUTUTUTU here we come 😂

Wrap it up in some cardboard and bin liners and post it to me bud. I can repair that mess no problem, even if it falls apart on the way loool

Nah not the circlip I'm after the link that joins the actuator end to the waste gate flap bit haha. Then you can use the circlip. I think it's like a little plate?

Anyone know what type and where I can get the actuator clip from? Connects actuator to waste gate on standard ct9. Thanks

I'm currently putting parts on my efe now for a standard ct9 setup. When I get stuck it takes fecking ages going through the forums loool

what exhaust and how much for it bud?

Oil filter housing

Oil and water lines

CT9 actuator

Cheap as chips exhuast system that works - can be tatty and have holes or cracks, just not too bent xD

Cheeers

Well if that was the going price for those ones then 50 is cheap haha! nice one on the sale bud, they make a nice difference to NA's.

50 might be a bit steep mate, usually go for around 40 and some breakers around 30, as I got mine in good condition for 30.

Obviously it's what someone's willing to, pay just dropping it out there

Yeah I wouldn't go higher than 1k either. Nice little job for me to tidy up if was cheaper.

What size does it say on the cap mate?

If anyone has pic of bolt then I can try and source/make one and then grab this lol

BRIEF UPDATE

Got my Dastek Unichip now so thats piggyback outta the way!

CT9, CT9 Mani and Decat will be coming end of month thanks to some awesome members here

Those bits will sit with a nice front mount (cant remember name) and fte sump in the garage until I have everything needed.

Will start some repairs on bodywork around end of month time when I have long bank holiday weekends

How it sits atm..

And the daily beast ;) - Now debadged front and rear so people can wonder 'Is it a T Sport or just a 1.4???' hehehe
