  1. do you accelerate fast? in order to save fuel you have to be EXTREEEEEMLY light on the gas pedal also change gear before boost, i change at 2-2.5k One thing ive noticed is the N/A is really sensitive to even a small change in pressure on the pedal if it helps i get 180-200 for £20 thats with the occasonal adrenaline rush ;)
  2. Just disconnect the turbo pipes?......even on low it cant be drinking that much, surely???
  3. For N/A..... Volt incase belt breaks etc.......but then the bat light comes on Temp....we have a water temp gauge oil pressure.....the light comes on oil temp.....guess this would be a good one so you can start reving higher etc
  4. Have you checked for leaks? fluid level ok??
  5. Had a new clutch ~10k ago so defo not that my guess is gearbox oil shifter bushes

  9. Yup, read about the length of the runners somewhere....minor issue eeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkk didnt want to hear the word piggyback= money IF this will work it will take me a couple of days to get the parts and a day to fit which is no problem i have enough money to bank role this just that now you mention piggyback its whats going to hold me back now....
  10. Hey, Been looking into ITBs for my N/A....having done a little research i`ve worked out the following Get suzuki itbs 700/750 variant chop up old manifold and join both with silicone joiners add V-stacks (all to the correct length in order to get it all to fit/air flow etc etc) block suzuki injector holes, attach fuel rail/injectors and attach the set-up to the head connect all the vac hoses to some sort of cylinder and run a line to map sensor to the little fuel thingy on the fuel rail brake booster (could also run this off one of the suzuki injector holes use the stock suzuki tps (de
  11. Nice Starting with the best approach there bud, get all the old shite out wires etc etc
  12. around £80-100 Starlets love eating release bearings for some reason......
  13. @ Tobiah.....Hes a fully qualified/certified MOT tester so can do pre-mot checks there and then....if you require a MOT test he can arrange it at the garage where he works as a MOT tester.....bit confusing but in short yes both jobs can be done @Cheshire, let me know when and where Also the MOT test fee is £50-55
  14. Already got the all clear from enzo
  15. Bit of background....Based in central Manchester, any job undertaken my old man is a MOT tester/mechanic and has been for the last 10 years. Most jobs can be done right outside your home using only the best of tools done quickly and efficiently. Some rough prices for you For the starlet, all variants Basic engine service £15, includes changing oil,oil filter, air filter, spark plugs. (prices changes at the addition of fuel filter,brake fluid change etc) Timing belt £70 Water pump £80 Clutch £125 Suspension related items (CVs, shocks,springs,bearings,wishb
  16. 1) Alt 2) water pump 3) power steering pump 4) ac pump 5) crank pulley The timing belt only drives the crank/cam/oil pump/idler/tensioner
  17. As per last time, im working if my breaks around then ill pop over
  18. Sorry, but without any aux belts the powersteering pump/alt/water pump do not operate......i find it hard to see how the water pump has broken.....if theres no belt it stops spinning If you saw steam etc the car was over heating (as theres no belt > therefore pump is not circulating water > therefore water is not moving around the block/rad to cool it)
  19. So, did you not just tighten the bottom pulley enough?.......or? Not to be harsh or anything but, you drove the car without any belts? = no moving water in the block = overheat
  20. Yup, agree with SF if the quote is online you have to buy it online they then phone you up to go thru everything but the price stays the same (on my 2nd year of insurance now, which was done this way) also you can`t haggle with them to throw in free recovery etc etc this can only be done if its an over the phone quote.
  21. Really wouldn`t recommend messing around with the ignition timming (can easily be over done) i had horrible fuel consumption/pinking when mine was done randomly without a timing gun. I never paid any attention to it and when it came to light the pinking was really bad......my opinion = stay well clear unless your a tuner/know what your doing. What it does is, cause the "bang" in the chamber to happen quicker/faster?
  22. Not to mention the running costs of a turbo one.......£30 for a gasket!
  23. Best of luck dont forget, plenty of pics
