The thread is M12 x 1.5mm. Don't know the OEM hex size, I only bought the 17mm hex version because the hole in the alloy wheel face where the socket has to fit is very small and the larger hex meant a larger socket which wouldn't fit in deep enough to tighten the nut.

Looks like it is. Option introduced end of 97.

Brilliant build How did you fit the turbo? Was it a straight fit or did it need changes?

Yeah that's the one, public version below. https://en-gb.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2795093644112419 It's possible the seller doesn't even know

Good job mate, she looks nice and tidy, any shots of the engine bay? Looking forward to seeing the progress. Tons of new build threads started recently! Awesome

Good job dutchie, was hoping you would start a build thread.

The drivers side part number is 75551-10120. Same part number as EP91 starlet. Might be easier to find off a breaker as above. Amayama are listing them as available but that doesn't guarantee it.

Not sure what seat the speedlines have but I got a set of taper seat ones to suit my alloys from driftworks. Only a pound each! https://www.driftworks.com/shallow-open-ended-wheel-nuts-m12-x-1-5-ford-toyota-etc.html They are open ended rather than closed. I would personally steer clear of aluminium wheel nuts. Not the correct material for the purpose. (IMHO).

Great to hear, looking forward to the build updates.

Could be, the 021 pump is allowed as a substitute for the earlier 020. Amayama still list both available. Regarding lean: Thanks again, I was worried about old knackered pumps being used for turbo conversions but got my words mixed up!

Cheers mate I'm considering getting it re tested next April to put its MOT date back where it was. Won't have to fight the hoards in October again!

I've had a research into this and found some interesting info. I can only go by the information listed on online parts catalogues but it seems that the UKDM 96-97 Starlet 4efe and JDM 96-97 Glanza's are listed with the pump: 23220-74020 and the UKDM 97-99 Starlet 4efe and the JDM 97-99 Glanza are listed with pump: 23220-74021. Same pumps for both models by year grouping. However the JDM Starlet 4efe lists pump: 23221-11060. (Info cross referred on 3 different, popular online parts catalogues.) All forum results lead to fe pump = same as Glanza. Like I said 255lph wally

Even less of an update: Got the MOT sorted at a local while you wait place. It took approx. 3 hours as there are now double the cars that need testing each month because of the 6 month extension we all got from Covid lockdown. Still surprises me how roomy it appears in the Starlet, yet it looks small on the outside when compared with modern cars!

Thanks for clearing that up, it was more of a thinking out loud question to Sam44 being as he already runs a 340 + a 255. Thought it would be simpler with one big pump. Unless they're staged or something. It seems a lot to me also but that's what he uses. I have researched the Walbro 255 lph and all the info claims their 500bhp capable, it's nice to hear from someone with experience of using them. Should be more than enough for my build. I'd probably get away with a new stock pump really.

So we're talking 200 bhp with the TD04l hybrid (11 blade gtx billet, td05 anti-surge housing, modified turbine etc...) turbo you've created? I'd be very interested to see what this engine / fuel system would do with a TD04l using a standard size 6+6 billet wheel to aid spool. I think it would be plenty powerful enough without the dangerous surge issues from the hybrid turbo. It should also spool well on the N/A + t.

Are they both right hand wishbones or is one upside down?

Lol I thought you meant 200 bhp from a stock 4efe engine aswell as turbo and only fuel mods! Seems there's quite a lot of time and effort put into the engine alone to gain good hp increase over the 160hp. Too complicated for my build / budget but I'm interested in the results all the same. I though it was a bit too much of a miracle!

I was going to estimate around 160+bhp as this is what I was quoted by Tuning developments for a 4efe + t using a TD04l at 0.5bar boost. But this was on glanza injectors with a 255lph pump. We all know a Glanza produces circa. 200bhp with TD04l at 1 bar boost again with 295cc injectors and 255lph pump. Being as my turbo setup and fuelling arrangements are yet to be set in stone can you detail which parts are needed to get the extra 40hp at 0.5 bar boost please? Your setup (from memory) 370cc injectors, 340lph + 255 lph pumps, fuel cooler and an adjustable fpr set at ??psi?

Looking good mate. 😎

Saw this for sale a couple of weeks back (absolute bargain) didn't last more than a couple of hours. Can't work out why the previous owner welded the bolt heads to the turbo housing though? Using as studs or to stop them undoing? Laces out? Looks custom like you said, the downpipe looks a bit more special than the chinese junk too. Good find

Colour looks fine to me also. The later photos it almost looks like that Nissan Skyline green. Great work on the gear set mate. 👍

Not a huge update: Needed the 4efte downpipe support bracket for the turbo install. Managed to find one second hand (although Amayama still list them, not sure if you can actually buy it though?) Part number: 25591-11030. Came with the additional cat back support bracket too. As delivered, good used condition. Sand blasted and masked up the mounting surfaces ready for paint. Acid etch primer first, then normal primer and 2 x coats of satin black top coat at 10 min intervals. Need to clean the excess paint from the top mounting surface and c
