youll have water comming out, they are the coolant lines for the turbo......just use one hose and loop it if you dont want to run them to the turbo
-
saw this the other day, you were on the roundabout near wearmouth bridge i beeped you not sure if you remember? looks lush not keen on the stickers tho
-
Main thing you have to worry about is the compression and condition of the FE unit and most imporantly the engine management side.....the Said tuning company provided a full engine managment package so it was safe eveything apart from the oil filter housing is a simple bolt on, depends how badly you want to do it
-
Most just use standard Toyota or gates I wouldnt put in anything else....iirc gates do a similar performance belt for the 4e Which is also blue only avaliable from the states tho have a look if a 5e is avaliable?
-
did the pump spin freely before fitting? the belt might be too tight? was it the correct pump iirc theres two types.....not sure how much of a difference it make tho if your really worried about it whip it off and inspect it
-
grab it from the Head unit, red iirc
-
i picked one up from eurocarparts for 50 its the thinner N/A one mind, the thicker glanza one was 150 odd
-
i spotted one in bradford had the dual control sticker on the back screen
-
Any particular reason you want this filter? Just looks like a sponge to me go for a apexi filter or KnN

Equal Length Intake Compared to ACIS Manifold
Asad replied to Omar's topic in Intake, Turbo & Exhaust
May be gains but tbh Id say it's better suited for a bigger turbo with a nice rev range + cams AND you'll need to have a mappable ecu to get gains from it with alot of time on dyno finding the sweet spot -
difference between uk spec starlet sr and jdm spec starlet s
Asad replied to a topic in N/A E-Series Engine Discussions
What gear was each car? Both stripped out? Mods to the uk spec? Jdm spec? -
Ive done 500miles on mine will be turning them all 5 clicks from soft today, tyre pressure is 34 all the way round toe has been set to zero and camber is -1......gonna go have some fun later
-
Hopefully going for a "cheap" wheel alignment today driverside wheel has some negative camber causing tyre wear and the steering wheel is wonky im going for -1 camber and 0 toe this time round
-
Might be an earth problem with sensor?
-
That's the one would love a group buy on them
-
your probably best off going for the ebay one, not many around + most will be chipped anyway
-
plug it in and go for a rag, dont see how letting it idle will help even the slightest waste of time/fuel
-
so would +0.0 be best? which camber setting will be best -1.5 or -1?
-
Just a quick update the actual fitting time was around 2 hours as for alignment settings im thinking of going -1.5 camber OR -1 camber +0.5 toe max positive camber Will be fitting the ALK asap possible pan hard rod

Firstly a big thankyou to enzo for the top notch service!!! could not be happier kept in touch at EVERY step of the way there was not a point where i was worried and clueless as to where things were! secondly although they arent members a big thankyou to all the lads who stood around and kept me company while i fitted them, providing my with a helping hand/someone to hold the torch/ ask questions and help the time pass!! really appreciate it guys My previous setup was poor altough i had only fitted tien rear springs the handling had improved it wasnt something i wanted to keep forever. Doing alot of motorway miles i was disliking the setup more and more every journey i did there was no comfort whatsoever everyone who got in complained and pretty much refused to sit inside it. My mind was clear i wanted something new and not a second hand setup I searched for other setups konis, bilstien, and the possibility of getting some from japan all totaling around the £500+ mark and alot of headache to put together i.e adding the springs to shocks and then getting new top mounts etc etc The only reason i settled for the meisters was the price was similar to what id pay for a new spring/shock/top mount set up, ease of fitting, the gleaming reviews and most of all at the end of the day coilovers always shit on shocks/springs so are a better investment overall and best bang for buck They came very well packed and on time, first impressions although ive neved owned another set they seem well built came will a load of stickers too!! Setting wise they were all 11 clicks from soft? and 2.3mm worth of thread on all the spring had already been tensioned so no need to touch that. It would have been nice to add a sachet of grease to stop the rings jamming on they also came with new topmount nuts and an allen key to adjust the top mount i fitted them here at uni with very few tools -3/8 ratchet + socket set -axle stand -standard car jack -pound shop spanner set -standard wheel wrench -small adjustable spanner and thats it!! will try and get some pics up later fitting them was a breeze all in all id say roughly 3 hours with a few breaks in between, i fitted the rears first with 2.8 cm worth of thread and it seemed too low for my liking when driving around. later when fitting the fronts i made them 3.5cm and then went back and made the rears 4 cm they were easy to adjust with the provided C spanners!! The included diagram for the fronts was a big help reducing the need for opening everything back up to redo them. The only problem i came across was the front brake line fittings, they did not seem to line up i bended the bracket to get a decent fix but im not totally satisfied with it.......visually the car looks spot i think i probably wont need a pan hard rod but its something i want to monitor and decide later if its needed when things are more settled Next for the ride quality, i set all of them to the softest setting something told me it was best to have them here for bedding in...then all the lads got in thats 5 lads inc me and we took off first impressions were amazing even tho the car was fully laden there was a much noticed improvement in going over pot holes compared to when i had just lowering springs and shocks no loud bang or big shocks sent through the car when it went over just a thud and that was it! round corners i wasnt expecting miracles due to the car being heavy/softest setting/new coilovers but it handled amazingly well very sharp and responsive! very little body roll on the motorway is where i personally and the lads noticed the most improvement REALLY REALLY smooth ride we were doing speeds of 70-80 continually not forgetting the weight of the car as we had all eatin by now lol the streets and town driving i could take corners at 30 instead of shifting down, im still getting used to it kinda chicken out at times and drive as if its on springs but its something ill get used too. ive not driven the car on my own so cant really chuck it about yet will update as i go along. all in all if i were to improve anything it would be to include some sort of grease to prevent lock up and a better brake line fitting bracket design Next step is to fit the ALK and get the alignment done any idea what i should get it set up at???? pics to come!!!

Wouldn't it affect the torque more to the point lack of?
