Johnny-C

Ok ive some updates from my trip home last month.

Bought back my old cage that i sold about 3-4 years ago.(weird being the same one!)

Now with some added side bars.Ill be getting it sand blasted and painted 8k9 blue at some stage.

Also got the custom powering steering set up finished,works a treat.

Also sorted the braking issue i had,so now it stops too!

Best of all i got to drive it for the first time in 4 years,and its still as loud,low,and hard to sit in as i remember,haha!

Also gave it its annual wash and polish before going back into storage.

Wow they look fantastic!

Nice!

Thanks fellas.

Im not sure what ill use the car for,mainly road and drag,the research continues!

Thanks for everyones input so far.

Im torn between a td05 18/20g (as I already have a td series turbo kit) or a gt28/30 series turbo.

I thought about a td06 also,but its quite large!

im running a TD05 18G (billet wheel)

starts spooling at 3k and full boost 4,5k mad at 1.7bar!

Sounds good,whats the engine spec?

Thanks

Trying to post some updates with pics but cant copy and paste?

WTF?

Maybe on a 2litre Subaru but at 2 bar +, we're on 1.3 starlets with no where near there boost levels

Depends on the build though.

Anyway,so is/has anyone ran a 20g??

There are a few people using them I think, spool isn't that bad but obviously no ct9 lol full boost by around 4k iirc and good for upto around 350 max.

Thanks for that.

Blouch rate theres for 450 and 470bhp.

Hello all

Wondering is anyone running a td04 20g,either on a 4e or 5e?

Would like to know your thoughts on lag,spool times etc.

Im looking at one of the blouch items with billet internals,not sure on ball bearing or journel as they have 2 types.

Thanks

I would run it at 1.6 bar,not all the time,but that was my plan.

Andy told me he ran this on an impreza at 1.8 bar while testing these,and it was still climbing in power.

The billet hybrids would be a good call I think.

_{thats was my turbo,andy told me it was the first time he sold one to a starlet owner.}

_{I sold it though as i left for australia and never got round to fitting it.}

Im keen for one.

looks good Vincent!

awesome build fella!

Im going to price a transport lorry to pick this,where exactly in the uk is the car located?

And what is the exact colour?Little hard to make it out in the pics,is it the green/black shade?

Id be on the plane over for this but im not home until June next year.dam it!

Put me down for a black one then Mike.

cheers

Put me down for a rail,anymore colour choices?

Cheers

Were have my posts gone???????? something strange is going down!!!

no idea Rob!

its a date.

Ill stick a thread up on Tgtt as something for us all to work towards

Aidan still got the GT?

Phil

Aidan broke it years back,hes moved to Sydney now,still has the shell at home though.

Yeah ive a bit on when im home,but im sure we can arrange a day.

this car only deserves the very best Johnny! good to see you looking after her.

catch you next time your home, maybe get a bunch of starlets together up north.

Phil

Cheers Phil.

Im back next year.end of june till mid july,id be up for a little meet and catch up then.

Hmmm, I'll put them on the very long term to do list lol.

yeah,i just had to bite the bullet,lol!

Tasty update! Hope you don't mind me asking, but what did they set you back?

Thanks.

They where $850 Aussie delivered to me in Perth from Brisbane.

Not cheap,but ah camshaft choice and suppliers for starlets are limited.

Ivan Tighe seem to be very well known over here though.

Another new purchase,think it will be the last for awile until I figure out where im going with this.

Pair of 272 degree cams from Ivan Tighe camshafts in Australia,in their 1057B spec.

Nice to see your still putting money into this man sweet update thorns few changes will make a nice difference

James

Thanks James.

Paid for some more parts yesterday,will post pics when they arrive.

ill get one,im in no rush.
