The starlet so far (starlet turbo conversion)
Model :- UK CD
Engine :- UK 4EFE 1.3ltr
Engine part's required for turbo conversation:
4efte exhaust manifold, oil filter relocation housing and big center bolt and washer. 4efte, sump later ep91 4efte the best option low corner surge + matching oil pick up pipe/strainer, turbo with all turbo lines (coolant and oil), 4efte map sensor 2bar+ denso sensor, 4efte ep91 or ep82 exhaust system and down pipe (decat pipe). 4efte thermostat housing, 4efte flywheel and 212mm clutch or 200mm uprated 4efe unit, 4efte power steering pump with bottom pump to block mounting bracket and bolts, both low pressure pipe from the power steering reservoir and high pressure pipe from the pump to the steering rack 4efte, 4efte rocker cover, heat range 6 spark plugs 4efte. 4efte gray injectors 295cc will see around 220hp, piggy back ems. Intercooler and piping (4efte top mounted intercooler requires the factory bonnet scoop). Air filter housing and piping to turbo with the boost recerculation valve and piping/ aftermarket air filter and piping from the turbo & bov valve.
THIS IS NOT MY STARLET IN THE CLIP BELLOW ITS A FANTASTIC GUILD/WALK THREW.
there is also this option: this lad has many great 4efe tuning clips give him a follow/subscribe
my cars spec bellow.

Exhaust bung (exhaust sounds to jdm for little old ukdm me)
My design:- fast street car reaching for the best 0 to 60/100mph range and maximum reliability and mpg plus lower maintanence cost. I'm aiming for Equal hp to torque output and an almost table top shape torque graph starting from very low rpm to around 6krpm. This will allow constant speed build. 230hp my target. I'm hoping to stay 1.3ltr 4efe engine as this will accept that hp better easier it's just the torque levels that are a challenge. The high compression engine also bringing afficency and carbon reduction. Dual fuel lng, cng also to come helping reach hp target and 40+mpg target also running a hybrid drive system for low engine rpm torque aid and reduced engine emissions.
It is possible to generate energy in a small gas turbine and couple the gas turbine with a small electric battery/dynamo to create a hybrid electric motor driven vehicle. Another option here would be a steam turbine and flywheel (rotating mass).

EDIT: 4-1-2020
after the great results (engine torque around the 5sec to 60mph mark) from the engine and gearbox combo as well as the vehicles weight, I've decided a hybrid drive is really not needed. What is needed (discovered by analysing exhaust emissions) is either a better combustion chamber design or much improved squish areas/port work to improve cylinder mixing.
So I'm going to introduce lpg to run along side of petrol. This will give a better more complete burn in the cylinder also allowing me to run a very lean high pressure petrol mix. Hoping to hit over 45mpg at 200hp/200ftlds of torque. This will aline the starlet with modern day sport car figures/tech and also reduce fuel costs by a third.
The other option is fuel mix with high priced fuels/adatives. So lpg is the rout I'm going. This will also increase the octane level of the fuel.
After the first round of mods.
Reconed, refined ceramic bead polished Cusco 1.5 lsd c60 g6r gearbox, different tdo4l hyb turbo. New 3 puk 200mm low anertia clutch. Relocated/refined map sensor + alot more.
As we developed the inlet to improve turbo spool on the td04l hyb, and low-end engine power, working together with the 4efe high compression engine, higher lift 4efte inlet cam, td04l hyb and close ratio box, mega setup, absolutely loving it. Around 200hp/200ftlbs going off the fueling, gearing, weight, and times to target speed.
I'm Very impressived with this setup outstanding power to weight, fantastic torque and hp to around 5krpm at this point the pulling power starts to flatten out, the speed impact is noticeable after 5krpm, time to work on this area.
