Well we were coming up the motorway heading to ayr shore when this mad Q7 driver was wanting past Geo, Geo couldnt let him past because of trucks on the inside lane so the guy was shoutin and slammin on brakes n shit. He pulled over beside Geo and the passenger in the Q7 hung out the window and fucked a bottle off Geo's rear quarter panel and put a massive dent right into it. I'll let Geo explain the rest as its his motor...

I was just wanting some info on this turbo.Is it a direct fit,as in it fits onto the CT9 Manifold and CT9 Decat? Is it better than the hybrid CT9's?

MM

Do these come with a fitting kit? And how do they mount on?

Looking to get one of these for my Glanza? Where and how much are we talking for one?

get a fuji mate

if rick thinks its good, it must be good

Wait and i'll get you a spoon so you can eat Ricks arse

How much are they new Marc? Take what ever it is new and half it is always my view on second hand goods. Unless it is uBer clean and then its maybe 3/4 of the price

You putting your Super Drager from your GT on it? You do know it won't directly fit? You'll have to modify the hangers on the back box. Did you get your old GT back from the insurers?

hey dude there probs about £510ish delivered so i will probs sell for £300 as its in mint condition. I have a buyer lined up, or at least i think i do Glanza love

Aye i know it wont fit directly but i'll take it up to RMS in prestwick and get them to fit it and weld in a new hanger or that. I didnt get the GT back as they wouldnt sell me it back dont know why. I dont want it back to be honest, aint got the time or space to store and strip it. Plus the engine is gubbed. Got the glanza now so just going to start pourng the dosh into that. Will get pics of the glanza up soon once i get the shopping list taking off the sides of it haha

My Glanza came from Japland with a Full system 5zigen exhaust. I am putting my super drager on it thoughas i think its a cracking exhaust. The exhaust is in mint condition it really is, i looked under the car yesterday and its amazingly clean. How much should i be asking for it guys?

Aye a got it from comet last night. They only got allocated 3 copies and i paid for one upfront on the day. Went to tesco, game, gamestation and stuff all sold out and very unhelpful. I really do hate game, i guess thats why i hold the seal closed on their new games, pop the disc out from the outside of the case, put in a blank disc and take them back and get my money back or a game swap! HAHAHa i love ripping off GAME, the game specialist who specialise in games but sell them to you for £44.99. I mean if u specialise in something you should have the best prices. Fucking arseholes.

Buy from shopto.net for best price and 24 hour delivery.

I like the game but the driving is a bit of a pain in the arse. Far too slidy and its hard to get 5 starts on you. The chopper chases you at three bloody stars!

Very good game and realistic driving physics, a bit too realistic mind you.

Right lads, i checked the ECU and i am no expert but it seems to have been modified in some way. The ECU has toyota on it but it looks like it has been opened up because there is extra wiring coming from it and it has been taped up and stuff. Any ideas on that? Also why would the pipe on the actuator have the tie wraps round it to restrict it?

I just bought a glanza there on friday and the blitz boost gauge it came with is showing that i am boosting at just a tad over 1 Bar. I thought it may have been a faulty reading so i hooked up my toms gauge and to my surprise it still showed that i was boosting at a bar. Now i cant see any FPR, and there isnt even an HKS actuator on it so i am confused. The engine management light doesnt come on and i am not hitting fuel cut at 0.85bar. However when i am on full boost at like 5000rpm it seems as if its hitting some type of fuel cut, like its hesitating slightly. The mods on it are a 5zigen exhaust, blitz induction kit and as for power wise mods that it. It still has a catalyser.

Now the pipe that comes from the actuator onto the turbo? Well it has 3 tie wraps round it, it looks as if they have been put on to restrict that pipe?

I am worried that i am doing engine damage as i dont think there is any type of fuel management. Any ideas?

Thanks, M

HERE IS A PICTURE OF THE ACTUATOR ETC. NOTICE ON THE BLUE PIPE COMING OFF THE ACTUATOR IT HAS TIE WRAPS AROUND IT WHICH IN TURN IS RESTRICTING THE PIPE. ANY IDEAS?

LOL the most pointless topic to ever grace the UKSC site....The lack of replys tells you that this is a stupid thread. There on a van, and probs 14's so rather common pal.

I'm going to buy a varis kitted glanza next saturday, was wondering if anyone had pics of a few examples of a glanza with the varis kit fitted.

Cheers Monty

What was the car valued at on the insurance then?

Nice work guys loadsa examples here. I have printed them off so will get them to the insurance company ASAP. Goin down to wrc sales this saturday to look at a varis kitted glanza (,")

Hows you neck CLAIM CLAIM CLAIM!!! . Id help you with a claim but english firms can't deal with scottish claims unfortunately.

You don't want to be out of pocket for some other daft tit's fault.

Bourkey

My neck is rather sore actually. Been to the hospital for x-rays and doctors for painkillers. Cant sleep at night and keep getting pains. Come on guys where are the Gt's at £3500???? Thats the kind of sales i need, ones for £3500 etc or even £3000 will suffice (,")

Well as most of you know a silly cow wrote off my pride and joy which is my oild GT. Now the insurance is trying to give me £2200 for it but i want at least £3000 off them. I cannot source an example with the same mileage as the one i had which was 73,000miles. I also had to pay for an alarm and stuff to be put on. Thats gonna cost another £300 to get an alarm installed from wrc car sales.

What i need is links to certain pages which show that i cannot get the same car for anyless than £3000. So links to pistonheads, motor sites etc would be great so i can send in examples to directline of how much the new car will cost so they give me more money. I am the bloody victim here, through directlines clients negligence to road safety i am gonna be out of pocket roughly £2500-£3000

Thanks

Well lets sa your standard. First off all use the power the engine has and remove factory restrictions:

Catalyser off and replace with a decat pipe such as zep racing item.

Off with the restrictive exhaust and replace with a Blitz Nur Spec, HKS Super Drager, HKS silent power etc or any decent custom made item. Dont go above 2.50inch diameter. I personally think 2.25 is ideal but each to their own.

The standard manifold is restrtictive i the 3rd exhaust runner so if your planning on big power then it'll need replaced or failing to do so may result in the replacement of piston, rings etc.

Next you have your turbo. You can use the standard CT9 which is reliable at 0.8bar or you could turn it up further to 1.0bar but at this the CT9 is super hot and starting to become inefficient. You may buy a Hybrid turbo capable of holding 1.2bar from Toy Tuning/Dave burwash/ Enzo/ Ebay and use that. To turn up the boost on your standard CT9 turbo your going to need to get an actuator that you can adjust so you can alter boost pressure. I recommend the HKS item but Toy Tuning sell one which is probably as good, but i'm a brand whore (,") OR go the TD04 route which is the turbo off a subaru. To do this you'll need fuel management, a modified down pipe to suit the turbo and a modified manifold. Cheaper than the hybrid route in some cases.

After thats done your going to want to get some air flowing in better, we sorted the exit gasses already. An uprated K&N panel filter is a good idea as it is a high flow item, has good filtration properties, fits in the standard air box which has a cold air feed and keeps temps down.

Then Fuel management. This can either be done by the use of a RRFPR and a FCD. Some applications require an uprated fuel pump such as the walbro item which you could pick up for £75 delivered. Easy swap, just under the rear bench theres the tank. OR by using a piggy back ECU such as the Greddy E-manage Blue or Ultimate OR by using an aftermarket ECU such as the Blitz Access ECU which alters fueling parameters up to 1.1bar is it or 1.2 bar? not entirely sure but i aint a ball hair off it. If you go for an E-manage system yu will need to get your vehicle rolling roaded to set up fueling correctly.

you'll need a boost gauge in the cab to monitor what your boosting at and allow you to set your actuator correctly and monitor for any boost problems.

A blow off valve, dump valve or comressor bypass valve is a device which vents turbo pressure to the atmosphere or back to the intake. When the driver releases the accelerator compressed air hits the closed throttle plate which then builds up pressure causing the air to flow back toward the turbo through the fins and this causes turbo to basically stop or commonly refererred to as stall. Some peple run without a DV and have no problems and due to running no DV they get a chatter which is the air being cut through by the turbo. The DV also gives off a fierce whoosh noise. The blitz does this but there is also an HKS SSQV which sounds like a constipated pigeon. more of a squeek!

next your in need of a front mount intercooler, the top mount is on the engine and should be known as the interwarmer! buy a front mount, it lowers the boost charge temp. Colder air is more dense therefore better combustion which equals more power. A small bit of lag is experienced but its not that noticeable, the gains are more noticable. More pull in 3rd,4th, and 5th. you can pick up one from the site traders for about £250 delivered or if you want a brand £400-£500 for an HKS, Blitz item.

The engine will take 200bhp on standard internals but you should think about getting forged internals. Rather expensive though, so you could aim for 180-190bhp to be on the safe side and keep reliability. Theres many people run 200bhp reliably but also some who ran it and fucked their engine. Not nice! You may also want to invest in some sort of Electronic boost controller to assist with boost control. All major jap performace companies sel them such as Blitz/Greddy/HKS etc, some come with self learning capabilites where you plug and play and it determines the cycle duty etc.

Always sort your handling, Coilovers, tyres, Anti-roll bar, Anti lift kit etc. brakes also as you mentioned beforehand are most important. It is expensive modding starlets so be warned, dont get half wae into tuning and go bankrupt and have to sell on to someone else to finish your project.

Happy birthday Joz man, hope u had a good one. Your another year closer to gettin a tubby (,")

Marc Monty

f*****g hell,sorry to hear about it marc mate hope you get a good claim from it and come back with a better gt where abouts did it happen.

mcdonalds car park in stevenston bro....

Sorry to hear mate Theres a track prepped Glanza that Trevors selling....come back bigger and better?

Where is it advertised and how much? I do like Glanzas but i love the silver GT's, they have me by the danglies. I cant resist them lol.

all i can say is safety wise they are fucking bollocks. My car is mushed and that was around the 20mph mark at point of impact. If your doing more than 50-60mph your gonna be eating an engine lol. My engine has been pushed back 5 inches toward the firewall!

I do like the glanzas but insurance is tricky, i'm only 18. Can get insured on a GT but not a glanza its weird. The time i get my insurance money i will probs be 19 so its all good. May get insured TPFT on a glanza then. Who knows, we'll see how it goes,

Starlet Power Forever......

I am sad to say that my pride and joy which is my GT has been written off. I cant describe how angry i am at the loss. Was drivin to mcdonalds for a fanta and some silly fuckin farmers wife pulled out from a car park without looking, i went right into the side of her and wrote off my car.

FUCKING WOMEN DRIVERS SHOULD BE STRUNG UP BY THEIR TITS!

Give it a while in the scottish weather and salty roads and the mesh will be rusting like fook. At that time i'll take it off...

Looks great Marc but please replace that silver mesh with black

Lol i dont think it would look too hot dude, maybe if the car was black.

Just linking to my build thread as i got quite a few replys from when i posted about some shoddy workmanship when i got my bumper cut. anyway took it to a diff coachworks and its all done now. heres a link to look:

CLICK ME OR I'LL TAKE YOUR GYPSY TEARS

Just a few more pics of my car since i had the front mount installed, and bumper work done....

Sorry about the picture quality, dont have a digicam so had to use my nifty badboy camera phone (,")
