Socks

This is lovely.

What's even more impressive than the turbo and engine going in there will be your touches with technology.
Look forward to seeing it setup and running Rob!

Nice work, look forward to seeing results

So! I removed the G-Reddy E-Manage Blue Piggyback ECU and returned the wiring loom back to plug and play original.

Then fitted an Apexi PowerFC Standalone ECU I had lying around. Basically for a bit of futureproofing. Combined with a Celica GT4 Map Sensor scaled properly. Should allow for some more boost in the future.

Popped to see Ricky at Race-Tech who got me all sorted within a couple of hours.

Car made too much power in the quarter mile setting at 270bhp.
This poor stock 4E lol!

Tee Hee! More to come!

Liking the video, and what you’ve achieved!
Still doesn’t quite show just how enjoyable and Brutally quick these things are, being only a 1.3. The weight puts lots bigger to shame 🤪. 

Its hard to put across performance on camera. Check out the video of me chasing two Evo's on track on my channel, that puts it into a bit more perspective. They certainly punch above there weight class that is for sure!

I've got a few go pros at home waiting for some videos to be made. 

Sounds real nice. Very smooth. 

Youtube lacks Starlet Content thats good so!

Cheers dude. Yeh the car runs great and is smooth to drive. Very easy to drive at the limit.

Is this still running factory internals bud ?

Stock 4E-FTE. Only change was ARP Headbolts. As I had an issue a few years back with it lifting the head on track.
Ive been hitting on it though for well over.... 3-4 years.

Looks mega this Socks. Was it Ricky/Racetech who remapped it for you?

Yeh man, Ricky at Race-Tech mapped it.  I like his maps, really progressive and smooth.

--------------------------------------------

Shot a POV video the other day. So if youve wondered what its like from the inside on the street, here you go!

No messing around. Shell is looking bang tidy now!

Roll on the boost, I look forward to seeing it at a cruise this year dude!

Great to see it out and about again mate love the build, massively underrated engines.

Is the plan to run boost by gear? Or just max attack?

Cheers dude! The AVCR will allow me to do boost by gear, and that is the idea!
The car launches so well! You've got to go out in it to realise just how much traction it has got!
Ill probably get a Draggy and see what happens see what times/speed she can do!

Pwahh 😍 hands down my favourite starlet! Fair play mate it’s awesome 

Cheers lad! Big comment!

-----------------------------------------------------

Little update.

Wiring fault for the Climate Control is fixed. I now have fully functional Cold/Hot Air and Adjustable Fan Speed again! Yay!
Throttle Cable is being made at the moment. Using a mixture of Racing Go-Kart and the original Corolla T-Sport one. The updates everyone wants to see I will try and be there for and get some good footage!

Happy to see it at your new home dude. Wheels look much better.
Lil too gay stance for me, but its all good!

Look forward to mapping update!

Cant be many of these around these days!
Like the colour alot, the work your doing is going to pay off for sure.

Launch Videos  plzplzplz

Be interesting to see what the 2ZZ can do.

You having another one built?

It certainly will dude!
Not yet, wana see what this one can do yet!
There not expensive to build tbh. Id probably focus more on the head, so I can reallly rev it.
Lets see what she will do first though. muahaha

On 3/19/2021 at 2:41 PM, Sam44 said:

Watching with huge anticipation. 

 

you and me both dude!

-------------------

So, here is a bit more detail as its been a while.

Walkaround of the cars current state:

Its having a few odd bits finished off.

• New Throttle Cable (It snapped when I first got the car back and I then bodged it roadside and ran with it!)
• New Throttle Body Pulley (to lighten up the pedal)
• Heaters stuck on Full (it has factory climate control and this stopped working since standalone, so investigation!)
• Replace and configure PAS Pump
• Program RaceDash
• Mapping & Boost Control

Its a fairly small list of fixes, but gonna take some time. Will update you all in due course, the aim is to do TOTB if I can in this. See what times she will lay.

Thanks for the information, the setup looks well balanced on the videos. 

I had no idea about chamber bolt's. I've just found them now. Thanks. 

No worries dude!

Nice build Socks. 

Hows she holding up on the stock internals at that sort of power and boost? Pretty impressive bud. 

Solid dude. Literally ARP Headbolts to cope with the TD04 Hybrid. Haven't had a problem since.

-----------

So, got my Carbon Bonnet on! Its even a Gi one too with no scoop! Perfect!
Found it on ebay of all places, bargain too! Collected it fairly local!

Fitted with brand new Aerocatch Extreme bonnet clips too!
So it will allow me to remove all the original bonnet mechanism, latch, cable to save even more weight!
The standard bonnet on these cars is ridiculously heavy, so this is over 25kg of weight saving alone!
lockable version of course, so I can actually park it in a car park!

Finally socks! Fair play with the house buying, not easy while having two project cars 

I know mate. Think everyone else stripped their cars lol. Lucky to keep mine and had somewhere to store them

😍 can’t wait to see this again 

Same here, stoked haha.

Off she goes! Lets get some more boost!

Well. Its been parked up since October 2016. I have now bought my house. So here comes the update everyone has been waiting for

Its going back to Race-Tech Motorsport on Tuesday! Watch this space

any updateon this? im tempted to swap my forged 5e for a 2zz turbo setup, my 5e is on its last legs and 9 years of it i want somthing different.  id only be looking for low to mid 300's but with contrant tracking in min.

 

i already have a t-sport corolla...

 

The 2zz is a fantastic engine!

Decent read 👌 cars absolutely mint keep the parts coming 

Cheers Brad!

---------------------------------

So, maybe now the end is near and we are allowed out to enjoy our lives again. I decided to put this back on the road. Its been parked up since 2019. I booked a bunch of track days thru 2020 but they all got cancelled :(, mainly due to race days being moved onto track days...

So! She has mossy eyes and grill, bonnet is even worse than before (I have a replacement now tho, watch this space 😉) but she fired straight up, brakes were stuck on, free'd them off and she runs a treat!

She will be going for inspection and all fresh fluids, pads and rubber ready for this year next week all being well. It was AWESOME to drive it again though, brand new cars pull you away from the pantomime! 

Updates to follow through the year! Tri-Poding again in no time!

Fast Road car the 5e makes alot of sense. More Torque, driveability, better turbo spool. etc

Properly naughty this dude.

Is she ready for the track yet? Ive been seeing glimpse's of it on Insta. etc.

Ready to go for summer?
Look forward to the gopros! If you get up to Cadwell leme know!

So pleased you updated this. Looks sick this thing, you just have to finish it!

Needs a bigger wing on the back too, to go with the hugely aggressive styling. 😉

Looking good dude, glad your on the mend!

Anyone seen the latest MCM video?

Toyota Sera with a Starlet Turbo Engine.

if your reading this Marty and need any help. We got you dude! Haha. 

I have some oddment SR wheels in my garage. Where are you based. 

Yes
