your shitting me

thats mad as f@@k

dunno then mate there all i can think of

cheers lads been a big help

il look around for one and when i find one il ask advice on here seems the best thing to do

well awt really if i could bloody find one lol

apart from the odd one kicking around forums i cant find one anywhere

any ideas???

cheers mate

^^^^^^^

yep DHL are brill they deliver just about anything mate

was only thinking of running about 1.o0 bar in high boost anyway

will a uprated ECU eliminate the fuel cut off definiatly then???

lol.. id put my pay cheque on it that a r5 will get slaughterd by a starbo no problem...

also we know what the little 4efte engines are and what they can do..

and we definately dont need you commin in here with your big gay spoon

atleast our cars are reliable and didnt break down every five minutes

^^^^^legend well said

Raced a R5 on a dual carriage way when i first got my starbo

apart from a filter and a dumpvalve it was standard

side by side with the R5 till i hit the 115mph restrictor

20 seconds later BANG!!! bye bye engine stuck on the side of the road 4 ages while my good old Starlet didn't even break a sweat

o and a little quote to the Honda Driver "Starlet Turbo...Honda killers" well known saying that haha

Ok heres a quick question

Taking the advice of people saying get a uprated ECU instead of FPR's FCD's and setting it up on a RR i also want a better turbo

so if im to purchase a Hybrid Turbo can i do it with my standard EP82 engine or is it likely to blow the bolox off it

so can i keep it standard or is it advisable to get a rebuild

thanks

im kind of in the same boat

was thimking of FPR's FCD's and getting it set up on a RR but then realised an ECU was a better option

but I've looked everywhere for 1 theres one or 2 kicking around on forums but is there ne where else you can get them from???

haha like the way you think mate haha

yer true as you said its worth doing anyway

hmmmm if the thermostat was broke wouldn't the engine temp go sky high though

but as he said its definiatly worth doing while youre doing it

yer that happened to mine had fuk all coming through

just drained it flushed all the pipes out and filled it up again and it did the trick

worth a shot

yeh my mates got that combo on his he sez it fits together

hi mate

can i just say although i do love starlets if i was to have awt else it wud be a pulsar they are gawjus lol

welcome to the family mate

So I've gt a pretty standard EP82

I havn't had it long all I've done is A blitz SUS induction and Blitz Dump Valve

after doing exhaust FMIC etc i intend to increase the boost

so what your saying is but a Fuel Pressure Regulator kit, get it set up on a dyno with a HKS FCD then with a Adjustable actuator up the boost to 0.8bar on the standard C9 turbo??

have i got that right

thanks

Thanks

so getting like a Sard Fuel Pressure Regulator Package Full Kit and getting it set up on a dyno wouls solve the fuel cut off problem Then???

Hi

I've been wondering the same thing

if your going to increase the boost above the 0.8bar cut off my mate says you just uprate all the fuel system which will solve the cut off problem

Is this true???

yeh I've just been looking at starletgtturbo.com looks pretty good

so what your saying is instead of naffing about with the little things would be better to save up and sent it for a complete re-build at starletgtturbo.com then??

brill sounds good

any one got any idea of where to get things like port and polished head, uprated cams etc done

and also rough ideas on cost would be good

cheers

thanks guys uv bin a massive help with the bottom end knocking problem

ok next question then to them who say go forged

can i have some good suggestions

im know alot about performance mods i.e exhaust systems FMIC's turbo timers actuators etc but engine mods aren't my strong point

any suggestions guys

thanks

yer thats what i thought.well heared it tapping so switched it off let it cool down for an hour checked oil then drove it home bout half a mile slowly and its been stood ever since so as u said might be able to just do shells and maybe rods. do you fink crankshaft might need doing as well???

cheers mate

yep i got mine from a dealer in bradford and within the 1st 2 months the clutch shattered the air con rack fell off driveshafts went and a bottom arm popped out and now the bottom end bearings are naffed so i wouldnt reccomend it haha

my starlet gt turbo's knocking on bottom end a bit

it sounds like metal to metal so im presuming its bottom end bearings shells/rods etc but just thought id check to see if anyone more expierienced with starlets might know any different.i havn't starved it of oil at all and it sounds ok to drive and not too bad while ticking over.its when you rev it in neutral it starts tapping like hell at the bottom of the engine. Anyone got any thoughts of what it could be or does it sound like a bottom end rebuild might be a good bet

pls reply guys your thoughts will be appreciated
