5e means better torque, either way. And spool will be about the same as they are simlar in size compared to the egine size if ya get me. Power wise td05 will make more but even on a forged 4e td05 would make more over the td04 just be a bit more laggy over the 4e td04 route. Dont write of the gt series turbos as you can get td05 power from td04 spool times. Look at socks and ryan-11 for examples of gt setups. Both massive power on 4e engines.

Bg freezer, buy a months at a time in meats from a good local butcher and freeze it , you will be shocked howmuch you get these days from the butcher over the supermarket (plus its not slovakian horse meat etc lol) also look on freecycle for good second hand white goods, sofas etc. Its full of people who want rid of decent things but cant be doing with ebay etc. Can set yourself up for almost free with enough to get you by for a year or two while you slowly buy your own new goods and furniture. Plus as others have said prepare to want kill eatch other once in a while. As its a bit of a change

Yea they are all the same mate, and would be around 200ish quid in the uk brand dependant. And as long as you mean oil pump seal not an oil pump as a new pump in the uk is around 120 quid where as the seal is aroun 8 quid. -

AndyMB's White 98' Spec (Update 22/07/13)
shorty replied to AndyMB's topic in EP91 Glanza Progress Blogs
Loving the super clean mild manor of your v mate, all the mods are so subtle and complimentary. Think the oem recaro interior would finish this off perfectly. Keep up the awesome work mate -
Mobil 10w 40 semi synth, best stuff imo. Reasonably priced and perfect for mid 90's cars.

I just got back from turky on thursday, was mid 40's out there and harsh heat when the sun is above you in a clear sky allday. Was looking forward to good old coldish uk weather and have come back to a heat wave!!! Its horrid lol. Just too damn hot for the uk, mid 20's is where it should be for happy uk residents imo

One either side holding the wing to the corner of the bumper, 3 underneath and one behind each of the little black plastic covers either end of where the bar/grill style parts are. If its a 96/97 bumper anyway. 98 should be very simplar id imagine but dont quote me as mine was a 96 reg.

Looks wicked mate. Seriously makes me miss my black v

Help !! Wot turbo do i have here ?? Worth much ???
shorty replied to SmurfyBhoy's topic in Intake, Turbo & Exhaust
It looks like a ct9 mani, then a t3 flange welded to that then the turbo is bolted to the t3 flange so the turbo should come off if you abuse the 4 nuts holding it on. Itsfor external wastegate use id say and a t3/t4 turbo will see around 300hp+ on the right setup. They pull like fook! If it was me id split the turbo and either sell that with the down pipe as a freebie as it could be moded to work on another mani. Or buy a t3 starlet mani and down pipe from WEPR or Zisco. Nothing wrong with running this at low boost but will be a bit laggy for not a massive reward as much more than .6bar or so -
Fml whats the starlet world coming too!! People want to save weight heres an easy solution right here ffs!!

Dude have you pm'd shaun as he wants one still i belive.

Cheers mate. I hadnt planned it but my 3 series e46 has played up a few times and just board of fixing it now lol. Got tons of starlet bits and know them inside out so thought i wonder whats about. Then grant said a second 4wd would be good as if i blow the gear on the goat I've got spares and we can just make the spare 4wd into a fwd. So i was sold on it and bought it haha. The 5e is around 90hp ish iirc but from what im reading the 100ps comes from the map on the ecu so the 5e would give more torque and the same power in theory. Then mild na tune shud see a spritly car. Not that i th

Awesome imo! I say have a cull and make our starlets go up in value. I broke my old v to pay of debt, as know one would pay me what it cost to build by a mile and then the shell whent to the crusher as no one wanted that either. Was a perfectly mint 205 black sunroofbeddition v. Meh is what it is. Think how few good ae86's are left. Good ones are 8k plus easy!! Camt wait till most of the starlets are dead and ours are worth crazy money.

Basicaly what paul said tbf. Can ocasionaly pick up a doggy gt with a sound engine for the 1500 ish mark. Also if you are buying to not be a main car can get a rolling shell for around 600-1000 and an engine for 350-500 and boom nice mint starlet on the cheap

help needed on an imported glanza asap
shorty replied to ryanmunslow1985's topic in Lifestyle General
Go in to toyota mate, go to the parts desk and give them the vin number as it doesnt matter where it was made the toyota epc is linked globaly, they told me my first v was an auto converted to manual in japan as it came up as origonaly an auto through the epc!! They can tell you in seconds dude. Fact! -
Got gt kit on the 3door 85 mate as when i bought it the jdm rear bumper had been swapped so i kitted it with oem gt parts from grants old gt with a few other choice parts ;) but this is staying very clean and unmolested on the outside. As for sleeper dont know tbh. Got a 5e sat around that need a home some when but the 100ps 4e are wicked nippy engines so i have no big plans yet.

Do a search mate, im fairly sure theres a "whats needed" thread on the 5efte builds. Is rare a question comes up these days thats not been covered or documented.

They are certianly taking abuse the little vitara pistons. Loving the updates on this. -
Dont wanna say realy in case i decide to sell it lol. But it was too good to not buy and import put it that way, especialy as its a 5door! ;) can help you get a 4wd though if thats what you want. Pm me dude.

Id say you have a knackered engine mount, and more likely the rear gearbox one.
