thanks boss. think i saw your name pop up in one of the searches what brand turbo was it if i may ask or custom job?

its very important to check afr, however i find persons neglect to check for knock/detonation this is even more important if you have poor pump fuel/gasoline

now i've been doing some research over the last few weeks trying to find some answers and though i've gathered some useful info there are still some gray areas. i'm hoping you guys can assist who have experience with these turbos on our 4e/5e. i'm considering this possible upgrade, that's why im asking.....the 20g is not an option my questions are: - its there a significant difference in terms of overall WHP and torque produced between the stock mhi/ihi units (td05 16g, vf/28/30/34/35/39/43/48/52) versus the upgraded/high-flow/billet wheel td05 16g/18g (arashi, blouch,kamak,kinugawa)

i used the red/black "speaker wire" to run from the hearing aid to the stud ring/mic never had any noise/electrical interference using it i secure it to a 12/14mm bolt hole at the front of the head, just about midway

i built a set based on 2 forums http://www.d-series.org/forums/diy-forum/95756-diy-electronic-detonation-detection-det-cans-under-25-dollars.html i followed this site, except i ended up placing the mic into a stud ring so i could secure it to the engine more securely as shown in the second link http://www.miataturbo.net/ecus-tuning-54/another-electronic-det-can-example-61616/page2/ i used epoxy to stick it in the stud ring works greats and cheap to build

meister are nice coliovers i use them and never hand any problems the spring rates are a good match for the coil overs and everyday driving plenty of adjustability both height and soft/hard wise

what's the matter with the sard one you have? where did you purchase it from? genuine sard is very high quality

all the parts should be there to do a swap over assuming both cars are complete i did an automatic to manual conversion on my glanza ep91 years ago...i know there was something electrical that needed to be bridged to get the car to start and 3 holes had to be drilled to fit the clutch master cylinder to the firewall the rest was simple swapping over of parts see what the other members say....there should be a guide on here or ttgt about doing the swap....try searching

the rear arb does wonders for the starlet/glanza. it really makes driving more predictable. imo you need to combine it with all the other suspension parts to get the full benefit ---- rear strut brace and coilover or uprated shocks & springs, good tires

http://www.turbosmartdirect.com/Product-Categories/38mm-UltraGate-Springs/ http://www.turbosmartdirect.com/Product-Categories/40mm-CompGate-Springs/ etc u can find the various springs and colors for the different wastegates on thier website...just click on your model wastegate to find out

i've seen experiences/results to what you have said many different hybrid tdo4s on the market, ---the same for hybrid ct9s,,,,some show improvements over the stock units, while others not so much are the improvements over stock units worth the price of these hybrids?!?! that's for the buyer to decide after their research and based on their budget it all starts to get a bit technical when you go messing with the compressor wheel, you install a bigger one to increase flow),,,, then get some surge/spike and taper, then you go messing with exhaust/turbine wheel and porting the exhaust housi

thanks for the response

the hybrid td04 may suffer from boost creep at high boost and then taper off in the higher rpm depending on how well your hybrid td04 is built and your boost controller's ability, you maybe able to get it to work however, i'd suggest you follow ramses advice, as he has ran a lot of those/similar turbos on the past and recorded the data

great video boss

could you please elaborate and/or provide some proof of this? thanks

from all i've read and seen (even on 4e/5efte set up) the COP seems great once done properly....just as stu said however, i've also seen that the stock ignition system will do a pretty good job for the average car owner with the typical mods up to about 300/350bhp....just make sure that all your ignition wiring, components and connections are in top condition some of the problems people have are related to the "aged" ignition components the cars have on, some of them over 20 years old....so an ignition refresh could yield wonders

the oem/genuine stock clutch has been used to run some relatively powerful cars in the past,,,however, people usually combined it with an uprated pressure plate this was to improve dirvability without going to an all out race/performance set up once you are not abusing it constantly it will hold up for a while if you have the money, its better to get a proper clutch set up to match your needs, plus the prices have become more affordable nowadays

and they make a very good and reasonably price coilover

http://www.trdparts.jp/english/parts_lsd_menu.html some trd part numbers and car models that you can cross reference

for the slave cylinder, you can pull back the rubber over it and see if you see any fluid leaking into that rubber or to the outside you could also get someone press the clutch pedal and see if the piston in the slave cylinder slowly loses pressure and goes back into the housing has your master cylinder fluid level dropped? is the clutch fluid in the master cylinder black?----the rubber maybe corroding and darkening the reservoir fluid

i'd suggest a genuine turbosmart Eboost controller excellent looking project by the way

from what i've read, when it comes to the ep82/91, the emu knock will read utter rubbish, some members have tried it before to no avail best you use some DIY/electronic knock cans

when people post pics of bent rods they are normally bent on the side (front to rear as per above)...so seems that the 5efhe rods are stronger than the 5efe/thinner rods in that event http://board.tercelonline.com/viewthread.php?tid=38598 some more pics there
