Hello mate,
I think I've sourced it. haven't done it yet my gearbox failed and got the new one in last weekend. So hopefully get it sorted although she doesn't seem to be leaking now. (Nothing to do with gear box). I think it's the rear seal as oil was all over the offside wheel, arms and driveshaft.
Cheers

Yes that's the part, it's a gasket fail, that's all you can get the for about a fiver or make your own, bit of work to get it off but it's a job that needs to be done
Cheers man I'm going to double check tonight and order
-
oil filter housing thats where my leak came from, it was driving me mad searhing for it
Yeah tbh it looks like that's where it's coming from like the bit where it splits from the block?
Cheers
-
New crank seal costs about £12 delivered from Camskill, as i've just ordered one yesterday. You can also buy one for the gearbox side so make sure you get the right one
Ok Cheers. I'll trace the leak and order the right one .

Nice to see a build on this buddy!
Shouldnt have swapped the Sparcos though, they looked good on there.
Yeah I was never a fan and the xxr's never saw the light of day. I'll try and get it finished soon.
-
The reverse lights look good blacked out.
I think the clear lenses ruins the look of the rear,
They were smoked when I bought it. I wasn't a fan to start of with and was going to replace them with standard one's. But after seeing a few with clear lights. I prefer them smoked. They look darker in the pictures then they actually are.

Cheers guys. I've had her nearly a year now. Got loads a pictures ready for a thread just never got round to it. So I'll get it update this week.

Hello thought I'd post a progression of my Glanza, nothing special at the minute. My intention is to 5E it and aim for 300BHP. it'll be a slow process as im on a apprentice wage. but hopefully the more i get paid in time the more I'll put into the car. so here's the car .
Day 1 when i picked her up. wasn't a fan of the sparco ns2's.
Spec when picked up: CT12 turbo, XS Power frount mount, Baileys dump valve, Manifold, 3" exhaust turbo back, Cusco coilovers, optional extra front strut, Apexi Avc-r, Boost Gauge, Magneore 8mm HT leads, Sard FPR, uprated fuel pump, Sparco ns2's.
Then some problems arised with the cheap nasty manifold that was on her
So i got myself a Zisco manifold as a replacement not the prettiest being second hand but it doesn't leak and makes the turbo spool faster
The new manifold and new genuine gaskets (highly recommend genuine gaskets, others will leak i had two sets of non genuine blow) sorted the issue and i drove it around for a short while, until the weather starting turning. Then she got tucked up in the garage for winter for some more goodies and to keep the salt and winter weather off the shell.
Night night lol.
then i starting ordering the new parts for the old girl.
Second hand toyo sports dual core in reasonable condition
New Sard FPR (picture is the old one, don't have a pic of new one)
New EBC Dimpled and grooved brakes with OE Spec rear pads
New Rad hoses, Fan and EBC yellow stuff front pads
AP Racing 6 PUK Clutch kit
Managed to get a swap on the Sparco ns2's, so i put the car on a spare set of wheels i had laying about.
So i swapped for a set of xxr 527's, 8.25J and ET0.......they poked like hell. but i was determined to get them to fit as I've always been a fan of these wheels.
Then it started....ripping the poor girl to bits :/ With the help of my buddy's Benham and Fin. none of us are mechanics we're all self taught tinkerers that luckily always mange to get our cars working again.
The bay was filthy and scummy so i bought a steam cleaner, De-greaser, and spent a weekend scrubbing the bay clean. Trust me it's worth the work..
Was hard work getting the scum and grime off, but my mates gave a hand.
Gearbox off and exposing the old clutch, working on her on a Saturday night at about 10.30. even the box got a good scrubbing.
Fin and my old clutch plate, it was a little buggered.....
Starting cleaning up the rocker cover ready for polishing
Polished up and all done by hand, using auto sol metal polish.
Couldn't leave the inter-cooler out
I didn't really get any pictures of the refit :/. i think my mates might have some I'll have to see if i can get them of them. and I'll load the pictures of the clutch being reinstalled etc hopefully.
So here's the picture of her all back together and cleaned the difference is phenomenal (I'll post dirty and clean)
And the first start after winter, hadn't been started in about 5 months and she started first time on the key on the first turn. the fuel was a bit stale but apart from that she's was running like a dream. (Was recirculating through turbo as dump hadn't been fitted yet)

So after this is was just M.O.T, Tax and Insurance......so the M.O.T was booked for the Monday and and on Thursday while checking everything over the N/S handbrake cable seized and frayed.....luckily IDworkz sorted me one out next day delivery Legends!!
So the xxr's got sand blasted, welded and repaired and i was just about to get them Powder coated and got offered a swap on these AXE EX8's
The car all legal, M.o.t'd, Taxed, and insured felt good to have her back on the road after 6 months in the garage.
So about a month of driving and my CT9/CT12 decided to blow its seals at one of the first local meets around my area, still showed a DC2 integra my starlet was no slouch .
A massive thanks to @Liam_D for helping me out with trying to get mine rebuilt asap unfortunately the couriers didn't allow it :/. Managed to get hold of a Speed Vision Spec 2 Hybrid CT9 and luckily my brother was heading to kent to pick up a S14 and that was here the turbo was located. performs pretty similar to the CT9/CT12 in my opinion. maybe spools a little faster.
Although it wasn't that easy the courier turned up the day i was collecting the hybrid although they had been canceled my brothers GF gave the CT12 to the couriers which the oil feed was connected too, the hybrid didn't have the part. I'd taken most of the week of work to get it sorted as it was my daily, so the hunt was then on for the oil feeds. luckily i got a email from @GP82 he had one. got one of my mates to take me to Leicester and got the part after about 3-4 days of searching. WHOOOPP lol.
Then it was JAPFEST time
Getting ready for the show.
Unfortunately all that hard work was for nothing as it pissed it down all the way there :/.
At the show
Coming home
Was awesome except for the wind and the weather was nice to see lots of starlets in one place and the variety of different models .
that's it for now just been enjoying driving her through the summer and surprising bigger cars ;).
but i have some big plans she'll be off the road for a little while after she goes away this winter, got a 5E-FHE the other day. so i think a 5E-FTE is in order .
Not bad for £150 .
I'll keep this updated as i go.
Thanks
-
Yeah I'm going to have to do that. How hard is the crank oil seal to do?
Cheers
-
Rockers new,I was thinking crank seal. It's all oily on the left side of the engine down back and on the driveshafts etc. The right side is bone dry.
-
Just noticed I've got a oil leak and it's dripping on the floor. Looks like it's leaking from the back of the block 4E-FTE. But dripping from the front of the sump on the left side when you're looking at the car face on. Any ideas where it's coming from?.

-
OK I'LL MAKE SURE I GET THE 3 BAR MAP SENSOR.
CHEERS
Dunno why it put that in capitals lol.
-
Cheers. I'll check them out boys.
-
He's messaged me. To expensive at the minute unfortunately.
-
I have a hybrid CT9 and have been told not to go above 1.3, so I'm going to 1.2 will this be safe to run on my glanza? Has the apoporiate supporting mods. And will be mapped on emange ecu.
Cheers
-
After a emange want to map my starlet and get rid of fcd.
Cheers
-
Well I went up that day. So was probably me lol.
-
Don't be ridiculous lol. Maybe 200BHP if I'm lucky lol.
-
Anyone have any intercooler piping for sale? Or a full set up?
Cheers
-
I bought this turbo, fitted it and it runs sweet as a nut. Virtually brand new and spools hard and fast.
-
Was it Black with red concave wheels? And yellow fogs?
