As above, havnt noticed in first gear but defo 2nd, 3rd, 4th noticeable knocking, sounds like coming from front but really not 100% sure, also trouble selecting reverse (grinds very rarely goes into reverse smoothly) not sure if linked.
Any help appreciated,
Cheers
That is far to vague of a description for any form of input mate,

Yes ive seen yours,
So your did turn out to be shims,
How did you change them and where did you buy the correct ones from?
yea mine was the shims, i was fortunate enough to have a spare head and also all the shims i needed, i did buy a couple from maddox - he might have some left if you message him
i took all my measurements and removed the cams to change the shims. long winded but worth it
i also soaked the cams in brake clean and air jetted them out just incase of an minor blockages

Any pics of the supra? It's my favourite car ever!
ive got loads on photobucket but they now charge to remote host them! so unfortunately not

though id post this up as i plan on trying a few turbos before deciding what i ultimatly want out of my starlet, scince its been off the road for 4 years ive built a silly fast mx5 turbo and currently building a 600+ supra so my starlet goals have changed,
anyway this video shows how well a td04 and 5e go together (forged build with 9.1ish compression ratio)
this setup is silly responsive and i pulled a 13.8@ 102mph at just 11psi with just 330cc injectors and fuel reg.
( i have proper tuning equiptment so no need to slate lol) runs solid 11.3arfs
first vid was last week second video was this eveing as i just fitted an fcd and run 15psi for a laugh
sorry about the out of focus, boost in psi on left, rpm on right:

I do like when folk get real excited about a subject so I'll try not to be negative.
Great enthusiasm Keep up your quest for neutral handling

Respect that

if your under steer is that bad your not driving properly.
you can increase the grip with mods obviously, but i would say it was a plague lol

there is 2 different pump housings, i came across this issue in the past, just ordered the other pump type
you can and i mean its up to you.. hit the protruding part and it will go down further which ill allow it to clear the housing..
i have done this before also just to see if it was a manufacturer error, it works, but not recomended

got another time to add,
took my newly build 5e (my 3rd engine in my ep) just to get a base time before mapping and turbo swap
forged 5e - with 9.1 cr
td0413t 11psi 330 cc injector and rrfpr crude way to run an engine in but solid 11.2 arfs on boost
anway. note im not using any form of fcd so well please with this
i just run a 13.78 at 102mph:
as always could of improved but only wanted a base before i put a vf35 on and max it out
13.78 @102 mph

Don't suppose you know of a web store that sell the air temp sensor? ID Workz and Tuning Developments have the Water Temp sensor, but not the air temp one.
just had a quick look on google and cant find one
i know camskill uk used to sell them.im using a cosworth iat on my stock ecu (but zisco inlet) but ill be refitting my standalone shortly. i dont know how much its affected this but it drives on
uses a standard bosche plug (about 4£)
however i dont recomend this unless you have suitable mapping

Block/crank fsf ?
if by that you mean sfs? then yup still got it all

my mx5 turbo does 4.3 average from a gps log.... (273bhp)
my starlet is quite alot faster but much slower to 60. fact is a fwd will never give a true 0-60 on the road.
rolling starts from 50 is where a good comparison is
also my mx5 runs 13.4 1.4mile at 107
starlet has run an 11.8 and 124

Thanks for the dials. Arrived today

yea that was fully warmed up and after a long drive before i turned it off.
you can hear the odd lifter tick as it settle to idle then goes quiet again,
-
Too right colin. As promised guys

stock fuel pressure and injectors?
concidering there only a few quid each id change water temp and air temp sensors, and run a newh vacuum line from the inlet manifold to the map sensor, prob cost 50p in hose lol

Hello starlet community, i am after picking your brains on power steering on a 1994 ep82 gt turbo power steering pump, im trying to find the working pressures of the pump but as of yet havent found the answer, anyone here with any answers or guidance is greatly appreciated, the dealership hold no records so they tell me and tried a few starlet specialists to no avail, also tried to find service manuals with specifications to pump pressure test parameters but not much luck in sourcing any material, but im sure someone here will have the answers to my woes, thanks in advance.
James
to put it one way..
i caught my hi pressure line with an angle grinder so i put in a 10bar scilicone joiner and it burst (3 times) before i bought a replacement hardline.
so im going to say over well over 10bar as it was almost instant to burst

glad you got it sorted goldenvtr
can you post up a vid of how it sounds now?
do your forge pistons keep noise/slap on first start?.........does the noise/slap go away completely when to operating temperature or just lessen down?
asking as it seem some people say forged engines are kind of noisy
ill get a video over this weekend.
i do have noticeable piston slap during warmup, but they you cannot tell atall once up to operating temp / 4/5mins of driving...
i dont really think forged pistons not ideal for lots of short journeys from my experience, i also think this also contributes to more regular oil top ups.. i have weiscos. as this build seems to be less "slappy" than my old 5e engine

Happy days ,just realised something in your comment do you have the feeler gauge o.o1 to o.o5 ???? Mine only start at o.05 and builds in 5s upwards so its always somewhere just not 100% precise
mine started fom 0.02 and went up from there, i have few sets now, a halfords professional one and i bought a couple of cheap Chinese ones from ebay, only a few quid each, they do get damaged easily being as i was using the thinest ones so worth buying a couple sets
-
Looks like the one from USA for £30 it is.
if you want to make some money back ill buy it off you afterwards? i made my own but its not the best lol
-
forgot to update this, its all sorted now, reshimed again at 100miles and now done over 1200miles, it still has a minor but random tick on idle but sounds great now
oh and when i reshimed at 100miles i also soaked the cames in brake clean then high pressure air though the oilways to mack sure there was no blockages, then retensioned the inlet cam
i will take a video and post up next time im under the bonnet.
ps,i aimed for intake 0.20 and 0.3 exhaust, my limit was +/- 0.02
