starlet 1.5 conversion.
Toby@ToyTuning.com replied to eggy790's topic in Alternative Engine Discussions
The main advantage is it's simply a larger capacity engine, longer stroke on the crank, more space for air to get into the engine basically, the more oxygen you can get in and squeeze out the better The original 5e's had higher compression than the 4e, using domed pistons rather than flat tops like you find in a normal 4e. You need to lower the CR with a turbo and 5e unless you plan on good management and high octane fuel (as in 105RON +, not pump petrol). They also have more aggressive cams (marginally) which you can use in a 4e head. As an example we use low compression pistons in our 5e with a 1.2mm gasket, this gives a CR of 7.8:1, stock 4eftes are 8:1 so a little lower but good for the boost we run. If we had used flat tops like stock 4efte pistons the CR would have been circa 8.8:1 which is too high for our application, some tuners will do this and use a really thick head gasket to lower it back down again but we think it's best to lower the CR using pistons and chamber area rather than gaskets, gaskets are the weakest part so adding more of the same material isn't always great the best but everyone is different No doubt that will have 4efte pistons to lower the CR down to turbo levels although it's hard to determine the CC drop and CR, if in doubt best bet is to ask although not everyone will know all the specs.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/K-N-Air-Filter-Oil-S...1QQcmdZViewItem It's just to stop them drying up and helps to keep them clean, most good filters either come pre-oiled or don't need to be. What filter is it? Thanks, Toby

Jules's Livesports Glanza
Toby@ToyTuning.com replied to Jules-B's topic in EP91 Glanza Progress Blogs
Yeah it is nice good work Jules, very JDM ;) -
TTE splitters those were the good old days! We can get EP91 NA fibre glass bonnets made quite easily, having doors, bonnets, wings and rear boots made as we speak for the GT's. If you want I can see what the min quantity would be, they are much cheaper to make and I would imagine we can get them to around 4kg like the EP82 ones so huge wait saving. Won't look as pretty as carbon but if you want light weight then look no further! Let us know guys.. T
-
They are reliable on the whole as long as you treat them well. 133bhp is only the fly wheel figure and most will be a littlw worn but they are very light so you can achieve some pretty impressive power to weight ratio figures if you concentrate in the right areas! Overall great little cars and pretty understated ;) Thanks, T

Live Sports Complete Full Body Kit
Toby@ToyTuning.com replied to cheezeitthedog's topic in Off Topic
We sell quite a few different livesports kits now, take a look when you get a chance: http://www.toytuning.com/onlineshop/aeropartsbodywork Thanks, Toby -
Best bet as mentioned is yahoo Auctions, imported a few sets before for lads on here, otherwise Rick/Eksjay are a good bet. Thanks, Toby
-
We sell a few boss kits now with more to be added soon, the NRG ones are pretty good in all honesty better than most. Cheers T

Yeah we only do them for the Glanza lights, if anyone has any contacts for the NA ones then we would be happy to sell them. Best Regards, Toby

Hi Joe, Sorry for the late reply we were busy with our new website. The KYB's we sell are basically the same as OEM stock dampers. We would advise Koni adjustables and Whiteline/Tein springs for a good setup. Next up are coilovers, D2/K-Sport are the same and average, Superstreets, Flex/BC junior Spec next and so on. We have a few sets listed on our new site take a look here: http://www.toytuning.com/onlineshop/chassissuspension If you need any more help please ask ;) Kind Regards, Toby

do you have anything for a 1989 starlet (ep70 model)
Toby@ToyTuning.com replied to hill_bill10's topic in Off Topic
Hi Tom, We don't stock any items but I can certainly try and find some for you did you need anything specific? Thanks, Toby -
Hi guys, Just a quick one to apologise for not being on here more often. TGTT is a handful as it is, with the move up to the workshop, the new website, the looming demo car launch and the never ending quest for new parts it just means time is certainly limited at the moment! In 2008 we have two new guys starting with us, Kevin the workshop engineer will be making an entrance on the forums also although he is PC illiterate so this will free up a lot of my time, after I have tought him how to turn a PC on. We get a mad amount of emails and PM's, can I ask if you want to contact us for any reason you can send an email: toytuning@toytuning.com Also apologies to Enzo as we promised we would not leave the Toy Tuning section un-watched and we have but at least you know why. Anyhow thanks for bearing with us and we look forward to 2008 immensely. Wishing you all a Happy Christmas a prosperous new year. Before I go lads this may interest you, a competition were holding for a very special item: http://www.toyotagtturbo.com/showthread.php?t=7250 Kind Regards, Toby@ Toy Tuning
