  1. There's some great builds on here. Keep it up skills of plenty going on.
  2. Keep going. Looks so aggressive. That rear spoiler is very good and them wings are great drag reduction giving me lots of ideas. What turbo are you running.
  3. Nice read and build. And all the custom work is class Have you had any issuses with boost creep with that in manifold the external gate port looks to be in a interesting position.
  4. Hi. Get some pics up. What's your plans for it.
  5. So love this build probly one of the best starlet setups I've seen. Everything complements the other plus working within engine power tolerance and the design utilises every power gain possible very efficient. So so impressive this. What make is this manifold,and do they do a tdo4 fitment do you know??. I want one. I'm going for these tyres also if you can control wheel slip with that turbo and the same gearbox then I should be fine. Do you have a Dyno graph if possible. You can message it to me I'll keep it to my self. What cams are you running haha, so so many questions for
  6. Yeh same here. A very nice car and build respect.
  7. Any ideas. I'm after a front brake conversion, tell me what you know. I'm not after dual action calipers. singal action sliding calipers will do for the weight and target speeds I'm going for, but preferably twin pots so as to more evenly spread the braking force across the disc. Plus I'm wanting to keep rotational anertia to a minimal so only slightly bigger brake discs if possible or the same diameter would be amazing. I'm also after a brake bias valve so as I can remove the crappy Toyota pressure bias valve. I'm sick of how loose the rear end feels in the corners and how q
  8. If it opens it will not do any harm, you just loose boost. I'd use an adjustable actuator and adjust it up to maximum pressure. You should be able to get a second hand 1 cheap.
  9. Fresh engine yum yum. Great work
  10. Very nice video. I'm looking for a Corolla manifold atm. I've got 100quid here waiting if you know where 1 can be found. Also the 4efte engine has a higher lift inlet cam for better top end rpm torque\pull. If you fancy putting up a how to video on that. Really good combo with this manifold and from what I gather no 1 knows about it. It's defo different I've got both here I can send you a picture of the difference and you do not need to remove the cam belt as the cams are gear driven. Also the original paseo thermostat is 76deg better for power. You have to get this from Toyo
  11. Waw you know your stuff. Yeh I was going to go bigger calipers and I was wondering if there was a larger master cylinder for better delivery volumes. Them front calipers do look huge so I'd say you'll be ok. Minimum pedal travel is what you want. It's just a case of setting the pedal to cylinder position correct which does take abit of patients and very slowly adjusting the cylinder position. To much and brakes come on to little and the front to rear bias is off this feels horrible, with these using a pressure sensing bias valve to activate the rear brakes. I'll get 1 bought. I'm
  12. If you leave the standard actuator on the turbo and just disconnect the air line to it. This will keep the wastegate port penny closed. If you are not using the turbo compressor housing singal pipe (this is the pipe that goes to the actuator) then blank it off.
  13. I've got to say there's some fantastic builds on here and alot of well designed setups. There's more 6 speed users than I expected and I've found a gttmk1 using the c160 and hos design\setup has showed me the amount of diverse products available for these cars ( ram's horn topmounted turbo manifolds). One of the things I'm looking to achieve is the very modern maximum proformance over efficiency. For the engine,transmission,brakes,electrical, suspension,steering and body design. I'd like to hear off as many of you as possible to gather as much information as possible about setups, h
  14. Great work and setup this. Many none starlet parts. I've got a feeling there's so much more going on here than you have put up🧐 This thing on methanol will be insane. What boost pressure are you hoping for. I bet the power hits hard and fast. As I look around the engine I find myself nodding. I can't find any info on this hyb turbo. Very impressive. I need a favourite button to press. Last question. What master cylinder is that.
  15. My gauges fitted for stealthy easy read. Just my nockgauge and wideband to fit.
  16. Just picked up a 5e block and 2x cranks for £75 I've also got a V3 mega squirt with 4bar map sensor built in for peanuts. There's some bargains out there for these motors.
  17. Getin there, happy days And from what I can find the difference in ignition timing is on the cam timing marks the 5e position makes up for the stroke difference on cam timing and ignition timing. Also the 5efe standard ECU is not compatable with the 4efte because of wired hardware difference mainly the distributor they also have a factory immobiliser on them (you need the lock set) I've just got a 5efe block and crank for 75quid haha. And a mega squirt V3 standalone ECU. Can't wait.
  18. Great work. I do love abit of engine work, keep it up.
  19. Hi. I have a list of mods here that I recon will hit the 100hp mark if your interested.
  20. Lovely looking motor. Nice build. Good look with the sale. I'm very new to the starlets but waw just waw.
  21. Yeh Im swapping to copper as soon as I fit a 50kv c5 coil unit. The iridium plugs are suseptable to high temps but there a must if using factory ignition coils. I think the peak kv recorded on my starlet was 19kv. which is very poor leading to a small plug gap and weak spark.
  22. Some really nice parts there. I was looking at the ct9 hyb a very capable turbo.
  23. It's getting there. Really incredable build. Keep them up dates coming. I'm running a aem piggy back. But I road map it over 1year in all conditions. The car is also not my main vehicle, so this can be done.
  24. The other rout is use a 5efe toyota ecu. With a piggy back but be warned using a piggy back ecu and taking the power gains from standard above around 40% is asking for problems. The fact is you are using the standard Toyota map and altering (tricking) parameters. The more you trick and hp you gain the less likely the ecu will spot and warn you about faults and dangers is the system. Unit its to late. Things like seasonal temperature and altitude change the most common area of issue
