Thanks mate. The paint colour code is 8M7. Gavin

Cheers bud. Yeah the pierburg throttle body is of visibly better quality with an 8mm shaft instead of 10mm and bronze shaft bushings instead of pressed steel. Cheers mate, means alot. No, just a little heat and the right size torx bit. That's really good to know about the manifold/downpipe lining up! Gavin

Yeah cheers, I have been about a little bit here and there. Now back for good but the project is still going to take a long time. Cheers Socks. Some would say too clean, but it won't stay that clean when on the road. I'm not one to keep cleaning the bay like some do. Haha you should see the state of my shed! As for turboing it I have given it alot of thought and it's something I never wanted to do but kinda always knew I would some day. I still think it's possible because for example the Corolla ecu I'm going to use basically uses turbo sensors so it's half the job. I just want to see what the N/A can do first. Gavin

Cheers mate, I will finish it no matter how long it takes. Gavin

Update time, only 2 years late. Due to personal circumstances and family tragedy I put this project to bed for a bit. I did carry on collecting some parts but didn't do any work on it. The blue/purple car has been off the road the entire time and I've been driving the light blue one. I have recently started working on this project again. First for the parts I've been collecting... DGR Coilovers SR Speedline Wheels SR TTE Spoiler (stripped and ready for priming) Glanza Electric Mirrors (primed and ready for painting) TRD N/A Clutch and Pressure Plate (small version for N/A, less weight) 5E-FHE Camshafts Lower Half of Corolla 4-2-1 Exhaust Manifold Full Set of Glanza Calipers (waiting to be rebuilt) Standard Front Strut Brace (just back from the powder coaters) Now for the things I've been working on recently... Rebuilt Carina E 50mm Throttle Body (showing the custom diy TPS adaptor with a new TPS and the custom diy idle adjustment valve) Custom DIY Inline Threaded PCV Valve Custom DIY Threaded Brake Servo Non Return Valve I am also designing something that's very very interesting. Details soon I hope. I really have no idea what colour to paint the wheels or the calipers so any suggestions are welcome. I was thinking black wheels with orange calipers? Gavin

I have recently acquired some 5E-FHE camshafts and over the bank holiday I took out my measuring tools. The camshafts were first measured using a dial caliper and then to verify the lift was measured directly using a dial indicator with the camshafts sitting in vee blocks. UKDM 4E-FE ---------------------------------------------- Intake: Base Circle + Lobe Lift = 40.85mm Base Circle = 34.05mm Lobe Lift = 6.80mm (Base Circle & Lobe Lift - Base Circle) Exhaust: Base Circle + Lobe Lift = 41.05mm Base Circle = 33.90mm Lobe Lift = 7.15mm (Base Circle & Lobe Lift - Base Circle) JDM 5E-FHE ---------------------------------------------- Intake Base Circle + Lobe Lift = 41.60mm Base Circle = 34.05mm Lobe Lift = 7.55mm (Base Circle & Lobe Lift - Base Circle) Exhaust: Base Circle + Lobe Lift = 41.35mm Base Circle = 33.90mm Lobe Lift = 7.45mm (Base Circle & Lobe Lift - Base Circle) So 5E-FHE camshafts have + 0.75mm lift on the intake + 0.30mm lift on the exhaust They are the only two sets of camshaft I have access to at the minute. I will measure the duration of them one day too. Gavin

They are supposed to produce hotter, stronger sparks and multiple sparks in the same firing under 3,000 RPM. The basic units like this don't modify spark timing, dwell or anything like that. Gavin

Connect it up like this... Then don't touch the connections you have already made above and connect the following to them... 1. Connect the MSD Tach Adaptor Red wire with the MSD Ignition Red wire. 2. Connect the MSD Tach Adaptor White wire with the MSD Ignition White wire. Then it should work. Gavin

From what you say about it kind of starting then cutting out I know what the problem is. You need an MSD tach adaptor to fool the igniter into thinking it's fired a coil so it sends the feedback signal back to the ECU. MSD part number 8910 or 8910EIS. If you get 8910EIS it can be wired both ways. Wired like this. Once again the Magnetic pickup wires are not used on the Starlet/Glanza (MSD Green and Violet wires) Gavin

With standard glanza wiring in place you need to... 1. Remove the standard coil + wire and in it's place on the coil connect the MSD Orange wire. 2. Connect the MSD Red wire to the wire you took off the coil in step 1. 3. Remove the standard coil - wire and in it's place on the coil connect the MSD Black Wire. 4. Connect the MSD White wire to the wire you took off the coil in step 3. 5. Connect the thick MSD Red wire to the battery + terminal. 6. Connect the thick MSD Black wire to the battery - terminal. Magnetic pickup wires are not used on the Starlet/Glanza (MSD Green and Violet wires) Gavin

This is how I did mine. Although mine was the MSD Digital 6A, it looks to wire in the same as yours. Gavin

Toby is a good guy. Absolutely smooth and effortless transaction. Very friendly and great at packaging items up safely. Thanks again mate, Gavin
