Pierros

My pre-order copy hasn't arrived yet.... Accelerating with X ??? WTF they didn't the memo that the controls have changed on every other racing game?

Well here (Piraeus, Greece) is shiny with 22c (I'm still on my t-shirt and a light jacket) although the forecast said it will rain tonight...

Nice work guys!

I've pre-order it and I hope to be 1000% better from all the other racing games, because after all this time waiting for its development I will be disappointed with anything less. Although I'm a fan of the series I'm afraid its a little overestimated but we will see shortly. I hope when I play it to make me eat my words and at the same time serve a humble-pie to my Xbox-Forza owning friend and then spend hours and hours of intense driving.

Its the original and in a good price, but it would be a lot of trouble to make it fit right on a 1gen bumper + the result won't pay up the expense + trouble.

Just checked my mail and seen it as well. Its a same cause it was quite organised with many members. Well translating the whole forum from dutch could be nearly impossible, but I think the Dutch paseo enthousiasts will eventually find their way here, as its one of the few European Paseo forums left....

This car is getting better and better as time passes ;)

Small update

The ct9 is far too small for the fhe. So small that "brakes" the exhaust. A slightly bigger turbo will work wonders thought.

If the job is done right (I'm talking about the 4e-fte conversion) or boosting a 5e-fe/fhe you want have any problems and you'll get better performance figures easy and much more cheaper than going n/a. Just because the previous owner didn't know what he was doing (or had the swap done by a monkey) does mean that its not reliable. Generally to go full out with a 4E/5E engine doesn't worth it. Is this the blog you show the n/a starlet ? http://project-red-ep91.blogspot.com/ If yes this project has been dumped and the owner (which is a member of UKSC) has gone for a 4e-fte. To answer your q

Hehehe the "ghetto filters" were ok for a temporary solution but now they are really shorted. By the way I noticed in one video that the hoses are "sucked in" when you rev. Are they silicone ones or plain rubber? PS Offtopic but why I'm not a Paseo Pimp member ?

Thanks for the info mate. I'll try a slight different setup as the CBR ITB's are a little more complex (as they come from a newer bike), plus I'll use it together with a Power FC that I already have and I'm planning to install. I'll get my mechanic to do all the "dirty" job of course, but its good to collect in order to surpass any problems that may arise.

Due to I'm unemployed more than 8 months the new engine progress is idle for the time being. But still I can make some small cheap improvements ( mad ) This is dry carbon look interior pieces and some sound/heat deadening in the front doors, rear arches, rear passenger bottom and partly in the boot.

Nice work there with the ITB's. I have in the self a pair to install some of my one (from a CBR600TT) when my new 5efhe motor is swapped. I guess the insiration came from the guy from the States that used the Triumph ones. Any more details or things he missed to mention?

Well of all I prefer mine (which is the most "euro" style, as it has a german TTE lip ). I'm going to add some custom subtle sideskirts in the future but I'm more performance oriented right now.

Unfo few people are seriously into Paseo's. To most is just a passing "phase" and then go on to something bigger, better, faster. Some worth mentioning Paseo's that have exeptional style are Brian's (InsaneIntention) 2gen Paseo Cabrio from the States Rocky's from Belgium the old 2gen Blitz replica kitted Turbo Paseo from Malta (don't have pictures now). From the other hand performance-wise there are more than a handful of good Paseo's mainly in the US, with some bright examples in Europe (Riko's included).

Welcome dude! I've seen your car in other forums as well and everytime I find it amazing Love the colour by the way

Hey Bejie I had some photos since I installed the exhaust, but unfo I can't find them. If I do I'll upload them. I had reinforced the rear engine mount myself with a polyurethane glue. And I did only the rear in order to avoid any heavy vibration. I have been to a Glanza with Powerflex polyuretane engine mounts and they are steady as a rock, but the vibration and the rattling inside the cabin is unbearable for me!! I personally wouldn't recommend it. The way I did it is ok and so far I have no problom with the mounts. A good alternative is the TRD mounts which are made from reinforced heav

2. Greek Modified EL54 Paseo - 5E-FE turbo conversion Here are some scans from the magazine feature (back in 2005 if I remember) And here is a video in action And a rough spec list: Engine - Garrett GT28R turbocharger - Ross pistons - Pauter rods - Denso 430cc/min fuel injectors - ARP headbolts - TRD headgasket - Apexi S-AFC II - Green induction - Custom front mount i/c - Oversized head valves (1mm in / 0,5mm ex) - Custom 304 exhaust manifold - Full decat exhaust 63,5mm (internal diameter) - Modified Glanza loom Suspension - Tein Type Flex coilovers - Whiteline caster/ antilift

Well depending the code number nothing is sure, not even the dealer knows. It depends not only from the gen and year of production, but also the range. I had to make an agreement with the authorised dealer and I got both set and returned the one that I didn't use. Just for the history mine used the 34mm one. As for the OBX , yes it goes veeeery close to the tranny (I think it may almost contact a bolt). As for the link to the downpipe to the rest exhaust I think the shop that installed it to my car made some minor adjusting by cutting and welding (also I close the second sensor hole that the

As Riko said I've changed them when I installed the WL castor/ antilift kit. And I found some photos from them when I fitted them

Its been quite a while since I've made an update, so here how it will go from now on. I finally made up my mind and decided for various reasons not to go with a 4E-FTE swap and try something not so common, but in any case has been done in the past by various people in the US and various other cars around the world. My current 5E-FE is not in the best shape ever and it “burns” 1litre of 20/50 oil per 1000km. I’ve already changed all the external gaskets and then the valve gaskets, but with no luck. So I’ve fed up with this engine and decided to move on and get some serious power…. Which means

It was about time...

Its all depends from the mapping that you will do. Ho much pressure are you going to run? With this setup you must study the efficiency map of the turbo and give the proper boost to get the best out of it. by the way the car is finally so close to its final stage and its better than ever PS Still haven't found a pair of cf sideskirts?

I know someone else here in Greece that used to make carbon sideskirts dude. If you are interested I'll give him a shout, but I can't warranty anything...
