Yeah the guy said if i want one put in just to take it back n he will sort it for me.

I would recommend putting a flexi in that exhaust system mate!

I had to have one put in because it was so fucking rigid and I think I have TRD engine mounts, it used to rattle the bolts out of the decat and cracked the weld on the flange of the front pipe. All sorted now with a flexi in place

exhaust pics added

KFC FTW!!!!!

I want those bolts where are they from!!! engine bay looks mint!

What a fruity looking engine bay!

Mitch

haha just wait till i get the powder coating done!!

my last gt was 210 bhp and it had pretty much brand new t1s all round when i bought it and it would spin so much! in the wet i just couldn't use boost at all. so i got some t1r's and they were so much better! i could boost in the wet and the car felt more stable and got loads more grip.

I just realised i had never posted this up on here for you guys so ive pasted it across.

Well i sold my toms td05 starlet a bit ago now to stevem099 and i bought Ryans ep85. i went over to N.I For it which was a nice trip out.

The car was in great condition and has obviously been well cared for

Got quite a bit planned for it lots of parts waiting to be fitted.

So far ive fitted a hdi front mount, defi boost and water temp guage, Zep engine damper, Cusco brake stopper, and a AEM wideband air fuel ratio guage

Heres a few pics so far

When i got it home, still with irish plates

fitting the hdi kit

Took this whilst getting the boss welded in for the wideband

I got the flange for my ssqv welded in today aswell im just waiting for a turbo outlet gasket now and all the other parts ive ordered to arrive.

Should be getting a nice cat1 alarm with pager and turbo timer fitted tomorrow and hopefully a few other little bits. Then next week my recaro's should be getting fitted on thursday, cant wait for that.

Also got a full GT kit minus the front end ready to be fitted at some point.

Well i got my cat one fitted last week the guy turned up early on and i was still pissed from the previous night lol i think i made him the worst cup of coffee possible lol, it took him about 4 hours to fit it all. the wiring looked horrible. there was the remains of a previous turbo timer harness wired in so he took that all out and tided it all up. he did me a hks turbo timer for a tenner which im pretty chuffed with.

Well yesterday i got my td04 rotated with the help of a mate as i didnt have any decent cirlip pliers but he had a lovely set of them. then i got all the standard turbo setup removed. it came off really easy actually. so heres some pics of what i got done so far. just need some time when im not working to get the rest done.

i got my boost controller today but my ewg still hastnt arrived but ive been told its on its way and i should have it within 5 days!! ooohh cant wait. im off work next monday tues wednesday so i will prob get some more done while im off. so im stuck driving my ax gti around for now which is soooo much fun!!! i cant wait to put the vts engine and box in it. it just handles so well and is loads of fun.

Anyway some pics

heres one after i washed it the other day

Turbo all rotated and fittings for braided water hoses fitted

Draining oil in my little brothers sand bucket lol

Whats missing here then???

More bits took off

A quick test fit of zisco mani. it was pissing down at this point so i never got any further

i checked the holes for the brace where the ewg goes and they lined up spot on. Well thats as far as ive got for now folks. ive just ran out of beers too

Well i got everything test fitted today and it looks like everything all bolts up nicely. The intercooler pipework isnt going to be a problem. I took a few pics but it was getting a bit dark.

Wastegate welded up

Plenty of clearance for stock rad :-D

Downpipe meets exhaust ok, the flanges seem a tiny bit different but i dont think it will be a problem

Air filter and pipework from bullett00th, cheers mate

going to be a tight fit though.

I need to find somewhere to mount my oil filter for the relocation kit i cant decide where to put it, Cut down the braided lines a bit as there really long then just need a few random nuts and bolts for the downpipe, the braces and a few other bits then it can all go together properly and fit my boost controller :rockon:

It was alot easier than i thought, i was dreading things not lining up properly.

Well i finally got the water lines fitted, they were a very tight fit!

Heres how i made the intercooler piping fit the the hdi cooler.

Rad hoses and water temp sensor fitted

Now im just waiting on my tial still!! Im been messed about by the company so looks like i will be going though the paypal procedure for claiming my money back. agggghhh. :mad::mad:

Well everything is all fitted now except my fuel rail and it seems to be going well at .5 bar just need to head down to nick at tuning developments for some mapping. :rockon:

Today i went to camskill and got some magnecore 8mm ht leads iridum 7 plugs, new dizzy cap and rotor arm so i got them fitted.

i think i might get a custom 2.5 inch stainless system made up aswell as the exhaust at the moment is to quiet i think. heres a few pics. :cool:

So the spec list so far is something like this:

Toy Tuning / Powerflex Polyurethane Engine Mount Bushes (gearbox one not fitted)

Ported head

zisco mild steel td04l mani and downpipe for ewg

td04l

HDI fmic kit

HKS ssqv fitted on weld on flange

AEM wideband air fuel guage

Defi boost, water temp guages and control box

evo 8 recaros to be fitted

Emanage ultimate to be fitted

i think thats about it for now, i need to sort some coilovers out but im not quite sure what to get with the rears been a little different?

Got the guads all fitted now also the gt bonnet and a white scoop i had from my old car, im wondering if i should have got a GI bonnet now to be a bit different.

bonnet is just in primer, and the bumper doesn't fit right but ive got a gt bumper on the way now!

The starlet is away at the moment getting the exhaust made, ive seen the pipework and the bends and they look very good, cant wait to get it back. Hes also going to see about modifying the inlet to the filter to move it further toward the grill, and make a new bonnet catch support bracket.

exhaust pics

I fitted a new inlet pipe today so the filter sits right in the front grill now

You can see the state the bumpers are in, i cant wait to get it in a bodyshop and get it finished off.

I've been sorting little things on the car all week so its ready for mapping on Monday.

few more pics

Still got lots to do.

Well a few updates to make, since the bottom end went the car has sat in the garage for a couple of months gathering dust while i decide what to do. in the end i bought this

Its the engine from the toytuning demo car that was broken recently

Toy-tuning Fully forged engine, consisting of:

weisco 74.5mm pistons

scat forged rods, 1.2mm

zep racing Headgasket

all new bearings and Toyota seals

fully refurbished cylinder head.

Done approx 10000miles.

only had it a few days now

Well The other day a mate of mine came round who also has a GT and said "why havent you got that old engine out yet!!" "why dont we do it now??" So he talked me round. a quick trip to buy some pry bars and we started on it.

I borrowed an engine crane from another good mate (it was broken but i made him get it fixed first for me :cool:)

then later on a couple more mates came round which was handy when lifting it out

after unbolting everything we got it lifted with the crane, we then found we would need to lower it down to re sling it differently

i never got a picture of it on the crane as i just wanted to get it on the garage floor asap lol. It was a bit awkward taking the engine gearbox and transfer box out the top but we managed in the end. there was gearbox oil, coolant, petrol, and power steering fluid all over the garage floor hahaha.

engine out

The garage has turned into a mess of starlet parts

as it stands ive got three 4efte's and bits everywhere! My mum and step dad are going nuts about the stuff in the garage, they thought the car would only be in for a few days a week tops and ite been there for a couple of months now :haha: its ok though so long as i keep them sweet with loads of chocolate!

So this is how the car now stands, or sits as it were.

Yesterday i got chance to actually have a look at the forged engine so i started to clean it up. ive been out and bought some paint and a few bits and pieces. Im going to get the engine bay all cleaned up so its nice for the new engine.

Tomorrow im going to camskill topick up a few gaskets that i will need, new water pump and probably drop a few bits off to be powder coated.

Well not much progress really, i borrowed an engine stand and ive got the engine painted. i used some high temp paint first but it looked really dull and rubbish so i had some toyota black 205 that i got mixed up so i thought i would try that

new water pump fitted as old one had a bent pulley

going to collect an oil filter gasket and inlet mani gasket tomorrow from Toyota then i can get a few more bits done. A few bits have gone to be powder coated hopefully get them back next week, the guy is having to order the powder in as he doesn't normally do the colour i asked for :cool:

at the moment i cant get an exedy paddle clutch so i cant decide what to get now so that's put a halt on things really.

Well i ended up going for a helix paddle clutch so im just waiting for that to turn up. today i cleaned my gearbox up a bit, it came up quite well.

new clutch arrived

a bit of powder coating

The clutch has now been fitted, the gearbox is bolted on. The 2 threads for the sump bolts were no good on the crank seal housing so i got one of my old engine and swapped the seals over. The housing was slightly different so had to cut the ends off a little so it would fit the engine. The 4wd sump has been swapped over too.

Just a couple more things to do. im going to get a non-powersteering rack and get that fitted before the engine goes in.

So heres a couple of pics after the clutch was fitted

Then it sat again for a couple of weeks. i got fed up with the car and lost motivation to get it fixed. But then my mate whos a mechanic got sacked so i though he would have nothing better to do so i got him round straight away and we got the engine in the car

My pc also went tits up with a bad virus so im using another hard drive so ive not got access to all the pics.

Anyway heres how the car now stands.

ive still got quite a few little jobs to do but im hoping to have it running in the next few days.

The plan to use the non pas steering rack never came off i ran into problems fitting it so im just going to run the pas rack without the pump.

I've also got some coilovers sorted, im getting the rear ones made shorter so the car will sit right. im hoping to have these in the next few weeks

So the spec list for when this car is finished will be something like this

When the new engine is up and running i will be going back down to tuning developments and getting it mapped at about 1.5 bar i think. Then i need to get it on a dyno

So when i got it

and now with the GT bits

Its looking rough now but when its all finished, mapped, and lowered ect it will be going in the bodyshop to get sorted.

Ive got a few more little bits done today.

Strut brace fitted

cusco bmcs fitted

Zep racing engine damper fitted

new crush washers for turbo oil feed fitted as it was leaking slightly

Got it it idle a bit lower as it was sitting at about 2.2k lol

Gave the propshaft a few pumps of grease.

a couple of pics

Looking good Kaylee! lovin' the cheeky pics!

i just got a pm from mignulikz with a link to some naughty site im guessing its some sort of spam going on.

I dont know if thery still are due to the exchange rate but im sure the trd ones worked out cheaper than the toyota ones. or get the poly inserts.

i bought an arm rest for my gt but thought it looked cheap and nasty and just seemed to get in the way really.

Dont the 5efhe engines come standard with the acis intake system? I assume its been modifed to be used under boost??

This is an interesting project, i had always wondered about a supercharged starlet. why the silencer for the bov? are they strict on modifications in Denmark or something??

love the rims, but i bet there annoying to clean tho.

had a massive

haha

il pass on that one

cheers for that info enzo, dont supose you fancy testing it out if they fit first or not do you?

Well currently i have a td05h 16g setup, but my manifold is slowly cracking and i dont think it will be long before it dies

The manifold i have is a really old wepr one and is no longer made. So i need a new manifold and also downpipe as my old one will not fit the new manifold. But i thought seen as im going to have to change the mani and downpipe maybe i should change the turbo aswell. So i have a few choices i dont know what to do??

1. buy a new wepr td05 mani and down pipe, will need to mod ic pipes aswel

2. buy a different manifold and a different turbo, but theres too many to choose from i dont know what to go for. im thinking probably just a td04 13??

What do you guys think i should do. once i have my new setup i will probably be getting an emanage ultimate and getting it mapped somewhere.

i think if i could find one somewhere the helical one from the 6 speed levin would fit??

Well i relly need an lsd for my g6 box. i was told a while ago that quaife make one but ive checked on their site and they just list one for a a "toyota corolla gts 6 speed"

Does anyone know what lsd's are defiently available for the corolla g6 box?

every meet im off work and can actually get too, my mates always plan a piss up somewhere, off to newcastle and sunderland for the bank hols, so i cant make it im afraid.

I will eventually get to another meet one day

I should be able to make this!!
