I would always use a Toyota gasket for a sub 250 hp build or a cometic gasket from upwards of 250 hp just my opinion as I’ve had cheaper gaskets fail really easy. Search Matt berry on YouTube he does a really great video on starlet head gaskets 

+1

What gasket did you go for bud

Get rid of ya emanage and go for a better ecu emanage are shit go for something like heltech link etc

I am planning on going for haltech eventually bud then I should be able to run the 1050’s 

Slight change of plans…

due to my lack of research I’ve found out id1050x injectiors won’t work with my emanage so looks like rx7 injectors will be on the cards

I keep hearing good things about SS performance glad its getting some love again 

 

I’ve seen good results so far and they seem to have quite a few 4efte’s in 

IM BACK

sorry for the delay! Had a lot going on and the glanza got neglected 👎🏽
BUT… 

the engine is now all packed up and ready to be dropped off at SSperformance this coming Saturday 😬

fully forged bottom end & head rebuilt with uprated valve springs 

also been in contact with sascha at wepr regarding manifolds and decided on a s/s top mount kit… is this worth getting ceramic coated? 
next I’ll soon have to get in touch with rob sr regarding some id1050x injectors! 
wish you could tag people on here 😂

that’s the update for now 

As above I am after a zisco 6 point rear brace

i also have a oem rear strut brace with all the plastics I can swap with + cash 

cheers 

Nice build man looking good 👌🏽Fellow white glanza friend 🙌

Thanks mate and we’re still a bit to go before the threads done. Ye I watch them YouTube vids on repeat of him beating gtr’s and Audi r8’s and that was before it went for big power!

Haltech elite 1000 will be run, and pistons were mappers choice really, same place who tuned martins in fact, so should be allllll gooood 🙂

Where can I find these YouTube vids! 
 

great looking build bud smashing it! Just about to return to my build been over a year since I’ve seen mine!

So as the car stands , I’ve checked the ignition timing and the engine timing. Perfect, it’s left the injectors and emb, the afr is contantly reading 11 on idle. Rather rich.  Piggybacks are awful and it was fitted and mapped probably 5yrs ago and it was old tech then. 
 

so I have ordered a ME221. I’m going upgrade the (which I believe is stock) injectors. 
 

I got the headunit and 4inch dash speakers fitted , some sound in the car which I am more then greatful for. It’s a start and the 4 inch are better then I thought to be honest. Once the interiors is in I might look at fitting some 6x9 or a custom door car either way it takes the drone away. 
 

ive found some rear belts and ordered them. So leaving the rear interior out until i fit them. 
 

Exciting times ahead

Liking the build mate another white one 🙌 you should have looked on my thread man I stripped it out yesterday and won’t be using any of the belts you could have had what you wanted there only going to lay about! 

Small progress tonight as was working late moved back on to cleaning the block up as there was still bits I wasn’t happy with it’s coming up alright now still need to take the flywheel and cover off to get behind there but the rest is coming up ok! 
also thanks for everyone’s help so far really appreciate it!

No problem!

If the crank doesn’t need to be ground I wouldn’t, as you leave more material for future if you ever need to then. A polish would suffice if all in spec but your chosen engine builder will advise. 
 

Caps are more hassle than they’re worth for most builds in all honesty, I’ve put a set in the latest engine revision which is being finished at the moment, but this has been built for ~550bhp so not your average build; they were a pain in the ass, the thrust machining wasn’t perfect so had to be rectified; then they all need line boring and honing too etc. 

Sweet cheers bud I see what you mean so if anything happens in future I can regrind it then! Nice one 

yeah the caps seem a lot of hassle

We might have to start another topic here on this subject sorry Gavin. Yeh I believe the 5e has better stronger caps out of factory than on the 4e I believe these break on the bridge heel is thinner. Just from the information people have shared with me. I do have a 5e block here and I'm waiting for a 4e engine to turn up so I can start to see the differences. 

If you have had this happen to you on a 4e feel free to message me. 

But send me any links you have and people to talk to running big power levels. Definitely room to gauge more information. Before I embark on a 5e or 4e forged build. 

Thanks for any info guys. 

Sam don’t suppose you would want to sell that 5e block 🤔

Also what i forgot to mention is while your cylinder head is off your best of doing new valve stem seals getting it skimmed etc also i would 100% recommend uprated valve springs as the stock springs are fairly soft and under high boost you will get valve float. 

Cheers Josh 

Cheers mate was reading up on this yesterday was planning on getting the updated valve springs then a 3 angle cut on the valves and the seal done ! Should be good once it’s all done

you dont need billet main caps to run 300bhp...that's none sense. info on the TD website is bollocks too...they have severely under stated the capability of stock caps to promote/sell the billet caps..this is pretty typical of TD..

my car is running a shy over 600bhp(flywheel) at the moment on stock caps and i know many others around the world and locally here in Sri Lanka (friends and customers) who run in the 400-500bhp range on stock caps.

i am in the process of getting custom billet caps now because i plan to push another +100-150bhp on my build. 

there have been very rare circumstances where stock caps have failed at lower power ranges...but this is few and far between and to generalize and say you need billet caps for anything over 300bhp is just silly and any "expert" who asks you to get billet caps for anything over 300bhp is either trying to sell you something you dont't need or they don't have much experience with starlets...simple as that.

DONT get me wrong...IF..you have the budget...by all means get billet caps...but its by no means an absolute requirement for 99% of people building 4e/5e engines.

my post is not in any way a personal dig at Sam...i am just stating facts...i've seen a lot of mis-information being spread on the forum lately..

Go with what Josh has recommended.. if going with Chinese rods...choose SCAT. they have thicker arp bolts.

Cheers for the info bud much appreciated unsure on the legalities of the bonnet exit I was messaging you about on Facebook so may have to get the bonnet exit and a side exit if possible!
