Galliano

I used to use Megs three stage (Paint cleaner, polish and carnauba wax) but recently bought a tub of Turtlewax Ice Paste and christ that does well IMO! Also hides small/light scratches well too, and works really well on black trim! And then I use Autoglym Tyre Dresser. But, if someone tries this JDM stuffs, I shall be interested!

Never mind when its coming, what will number 7 bring us?!

Ok, forget that "We Need To", because I got bored and actually done it. I hope it will help others out too But Pete, feel free to fire questions our way, its more to add to that topic. For referance, the topic is in the Motorsport section.

Taken from the guys at Pukka Performance : Guys , Girls , Sheeps, Cats, Hamsters, Dogs and all alike thinking of going 5e but are not too sure on what you need and what to do. Firstly and Foremost get yourself a badass 5e, now the 5e does have advantages but also disadvantages. Yes you will get slightly more power and which ever turbo you have will spool earlier also giving you the opportunity to use a larger more fancy setup. However the 5e does not particularly rev high and doesn't like to be revved hard with power usually dropping off alot earlier than in a 4e. A more technically qualified Starletier could explain but it's to do with the 5e not being quite square in terms of Bore/ Stroke. PARTS: When removing your 4e there are a numerous amount of things that you will need to aquire to fit on the 5e. 1. SUMP: The 4e sump has the oil return which is paramount obviously 2. OIL PICK UP/ STRAINER: Needs to be used when using the 4e sump as its a different length to the 5e one do not mix and match these 4e with 4e !!!!! 3. Oil Feed/ Oil filter Plate: Unbolt this from the 4e as it then prevents finding a different oil feed location and making up custom lines. You need to remove the large bolt from the 5e block drill and tap the 5e then fit the 4e one. 4. 4e or 5e Cylinder Head : This has been covered about a million times and now a million and one times. Both can be used here guys it's not really an Issue there is a water way in the 4e head on the Inlet side but thats blocked off by the Manifold and the Gasket. On the 5e its not there at all. 5. 5e Flywheel: The 5e Flywheel needs to be used as the 4e has a different Crank bolt pattern. However Aasco sell 5e Flywheels to fit 4e clutches as they are 212mm as opposed too 200mm on the 5e, as we all know 12mm can make all the difference laugh.gif . These Aasco flywheels are uber light and awesome bits of kit. 6. 4e Rocker cover, ensure you rob this as it has the PCV. SOME BOTTOM END INFORMATION: The 5e Pistons are the same size as 4e but its the Rods that are different so when going fully forged as many of you do , ensure you get the correct combo guys. Then also 5e bearings there are a few companies that supply these, Toga, Top line, ACL, Toyota etc etc. Don't forget your thrust washers also 4e ad 5e are different so beware. A fully forged 5e with bottom end rebuild kits usually range from £1000 upwards. I bought the following but you guys don't have to do the same. 74.5mm Wosner Pistons 5e Scat H beam Rods and ARP Bolts Bottom end rebuild kit (Seals, Gaskets everything to renew bottom end) Cylinder Head rebuild kit ( Everything to renew head) 5e Cam belt Kit Oil filters Water pump Oil pump ( Ensure you pump has the seal in it or in the block) Oil filters Oil pressure switch OEM Thrust washers Top line big end bearings Top line main bearings ARP Main Bolts ARP Headbolts OEM Locating Dowels That should sort you out for the time being in regards to the bottom end guys. You need to ensure that your 5e is correctly rebored , honed and knotched to accept the Rods/ Pistons. Also your crank reground if need be and bearing purchased to suit. Any competent engine builder/ machinist will do this for you and may advice on fully balancing the bottom end depending on your budget and or application. TIMING MARKS: When timing up your engine whack it on the 4e marks this has been done many times and works a treat AZE_B used thisd method and got another 50ft/lbs of torque and loads more bhp thumbsup.gif . OIL PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE: The demon of the 5e OIL PRESSURE. The easiest and most common thing to do is to remove the valve give it a damn good clean and then remove the circlip and fit a washer pushing the spring furthur down and increasing the Oil pressure. Obviously to much pressure is not good but alot of well built 5e's have failed due to low pressure especially on Idle and also on full chat higher in the rev range. Guys this is just a basic guide to get you started and help its not a complex giude once I have some more time i'll include Pictures and the way in which AZE, GAZ and other 5e people including myself have done it. On start up im eeing 6.5 bars worth of Oil presure droppng off to 5 bar @ about 1500rpm when cold on first start up. PRIMING THE ENGINE Just another little pointer here and something which in normally overlooked as we all get nervous when its nearly start time. Ensure that everything has been checked and double checked. Remove the king leadand give her at least 5-7 cranks too get some oil around the system. Then plug her back in and start her. Alternatively remove the EFI fuse and do it like this. Observe the Oil pressure light carefully and be sure it goes out, also don't worry about new smells and burning if it's all new funny smells will be present.

Ok, PeteT is asking many-a-question that gets answered and we have several topics of different questions. To make it easier for those taking the same route as Pete, here we have all answers and links that you will need. Pete is going for the track/sprint car approach using his standard UK Spec Paseo running the 5efe engine. Questions Asked: Mechanical Do Starlet engine mount bushes fit Paseos? Yes, they should bolt straight up Are there racing/paddle clutches available to Paseos? If you buy a 3E-TE Flywheel, you can fit a Starlet Turbo clutch (or any uprated clutches made for the Starlet turbo). The Paseo clutch is 200mm whereas the Starlet Turbo clutch is 214mm. You can source a 3E-TE flywheel from ordering it through your local Toyota dealership, or through TM Developments. Are there any uprated Cams available for the 5efe engine? The only 'uprated' cams available are from the Japanese Cynos 5EFHE engine (a tuned version of the UK 5efe). Those are the only 'uprated' cams you can use but these don't work untill way past the 5efe rev limit, you will need to uprate the ECU somehow, Piggyback or otherwise. You can use the ECU from the 5EFHE but you will need to also use the 5EFHE injectors. And as long as you get the ECU from the model without ACIS you are fine, if you get one WITH ACIS, it will not work. Opinions show that this is really not worth it though, but if your up for trying anyway, by all means do. The 5EFHE is also found in american Tercels. Is there any point in uprating the injectors? Not really, no. The standard 5efe injectors are fine for any N/A tuning you throw at it. Are there any uprated Intake Manifolds available? Yes, there are. The best to find is an inlet manifold from the 4efe 'bugeye' Corolla (1998-2001). These allow more airflow but do decrease your average MPG. Are there any uprated Exhaust Manifolds available? OBX make a 4-2-1 exhaust manifold specifically for the Paseo. These can be found on eBay. Are there any uprated gear shifters available? Yes, TC Tuning make a short shifter than can also fit the Paseo, I have one in my ST. They are good for quick gear changes but can occasionally be too much for daily driving. What air filters are available? You can pretty much buy any tubular air filters for any car. If you want more specific, TRD make panel filters fit for the Paseo. Questions Asked : Handling Do Starlet Turbo front strut braces fit Paseos? Yes, and likewise do any strut braces made for the Starlet EP82 and EP91. Is there anything to brace the rear Strut Towers? No, you don't need them either. The Paseo has a rear bulk head so produces enough rigidity to cope. Is there anything I can do about the rear axle? Yes, you can fit a Whiteline Adjustable Panhard Rod produced for the Starlets. Suspension wise, do Starlet parts fit? Yes, all Starlet suspension items fit the Paseo, this includes coilovers. Questions Asked : Braking Are there any uprated discs/pads available to the Paseo? Yes, Black Diamond produce grooved discs to aid stopping, they also produce pads too. Do Starlet rear disc brakes fit the Paseo? Yes. You need to find a Starlet GT breaking for spares. If you take the full axle you will note it is shorter than the Paseo's axle, which will mean alot of poke on the wheels front. Thus, just take the hubs and discs. These can fit onto the Paseo's rear axle but you will have to use a Starlet GT Handbrake Cable too. Questions Asked : Weightsaving How can I make my Paseo lighter? You can do things such as remove the rear seats, carpet, rear 3/4 plastics, rear bulkhead covers, rear shelf, audio speakers, doorcards (if you fancy saving weight but keeping electric windows - find a way of mounting the button on its own..), spare wheel, boot carpet, boot lining, sound deadening.. Then obviously going to extremes, check out Riko's Project Blog, Riko is saving as much weight as physically possible. Questions Asked : Turbo.. Does a 4efte engine from the Starlet Turbo fit? Yes, but you will need a custom wiring loom and ECU for it. Can I Turbo my 5efe? Yes, check out the "How To Build A 5E Turbo" thread in the Motorsports section. The full list of parts needed and things to do is all in that thread. More Q & A to be placed in here if/when they come up.

You didn't say Varis? Varis? Well thats alright then.

I didn't think money grew in glasgow at all ? You don't know how awesome a Reflet sleeper would be

We should set up a PeteT Questions answered thread for those who want to make a track car

Shes after a black one, that or silver

Too late mate. I bagsied her when I used to see her all the time, long before she was famous, in Hope & Faith on ABC1. Lets put it this way, its 4 years ago +. I moved house long after we lost ABC1 on freeview. Thus, I saw her first, stuff you.

Remix front would look smart as hell with silver! That and try out some performance mods for the N/A and take it on a few track days? Geo is making a kit for the N/A's I believe, and theres also alot you can do cheap too, such as different injectors, throttle bodies etc.

If they want advanced tickets they missed it ^ So its pay on the gate for anyone else. And Woody's going, WIN!!

I need to see this painted! This is going to be EPIC! Fantastic attention to detail on the block too!

I say keep the reflet front end, its quite cute and turbo'd it would make it a right surprise for anyone who thinks they can match it!

Find em on breakers mate. I have a spare set in the shed but they are quietly awaiting my girlfriend getting a Paseo

Liking the blog Geo, I will have a stab at the main page tonight when I get home.

Save shit convos for msn and stuff. Moar BOOOOOBZ!

Black = Clean.

Great colour for the wheels! Really nice lip too!

Indeedy, in the means of having some made up at the moment. Most likely standard silver with standard font for now (subtle approach) untill I can afford for Luke to invest in some lime green ones (most likely after JAE when I can free up cash.)

Oh god I forgot to add that http://www.paseopimp.net ;)

Hey guys/girls of PaseoPIMP. We are now live with a site that still needs working on. We are currently working behind the scenes on the main page (so currently looks a little bog standard and vague. Soon we will have a complete site up and running though. Right, what I ask from you is to start advertising. Stickers are in the means of being made, and so are leaflets. I will send a bunch to everyone when I send out the stickers. Start sending the message accross to every Paseo owner you come across, lets make this big! Sam.

You free any time monday, tuesday or wednesday mate? Free those days.

I'd say after JAE so it gives everyone a chance to settle first.. If there are some Somerset boys heading to JAE, it makes money tight with travelling. Whitetrash, when do you want the works done?
