  1. probably ringlands or chipped valve

    use the money to buy another 1 and invest it in this 1 so you can rebuild it

    piston can be replaced with the engine in the car so not to big of a job if your in the know how either way head has to come of if your lucky you might see a chipped valve instead

    i would much rather rebuild the current engine, i dont mind removing the engine and doing work my self. I've worked on a few engines and have a friend who knows quite a bit about starlets who can help. Just dont wanna sink 1000 pound plus rebuilding a stock 4efte. im going to compression test it this evening and whip the head off tomorrow.

  2. my ep82 gt turbo is misfiring pretty bad and the person i bought it from says its possibly the piston rings or the 3rd piston melted. he didn't do a compression test on the car and just thinks it could be piston rings etc, it seems to start up fine and idle fine just a major misfire all the time. Just wondering whether its worth fixing the engine thats in the car atm or just go ahead and find a replacement 4efte, haven't got a huge amount of money to spend budget is around 600 700 pounds...


  3. Good engine .

    Ģot my eyes on a levin at the moment but will still buy the GT at 1300

    its me whos selling the gt turbo bud, only reason its up for sale so quick is i have my eye on a glanza that has come up for sale and I've wanted it for quite a while. Tbh if it doesnt sell im happy to keep it, its an extremely healthy engine and pretty clean overall car.

  4. If you look to the left of the foot rest next to the clutch your see the ecu there, so it's like saying its behind the ashtray right in the middle there hope this makes sense

    i looked from near the drivers footwell i can just see it, im just unsure what i need to remove to get to it properly. il just start removing parts of the interior tomorrow lol
