Yes if you run it at 1 bar of boost on the stock turbo then you'll be good for 180bhp. On the Hybrid I'd say around 210bhp. It would be a pretty fast road car to say the least! I would avoid using a Fuel cut defender, and would rather pay out the extra for a piggy back ECU such as the Emanage Blue and get it tuned properly.

If I was in the market for a manifold, I would buy Race Tech/Zisco/WEPR. I've had WEPR so would probably go for Zisco this time, but Race Tech if I could afford it. I wouldn't trust any other manifold including the SPS, seen too many bad ones around to chance it. The stock manifold with a good porting does a good job too, and because its made out of cast iron it is less likely to crack. As Matt said if you are going to turn the boost over .8 bar then you will want more fuelling mods. The wastegate is actually part of the turbo, so if you bought a Hybrid then you would have a new wastegate. C

While you have the turbo off I would strongly recommend porting the 3rd runner on the manifold, and you may as well even port the wastegate on the turbo. By doing this to the manifold, you will be allowing it to flow better and therefore less 'strain' on the 3rd cylinder. It will be safer for you to turn the boost up in the future also. It's fairly common for the 3rd cylinder to fail and most of the time it is due to this afaik. When you do eventually turn the boost up it's likely to suffer boost creep - porting the wastegate will help avoid this problem. If you would like a tutorial, check ou

Top work as usual. 400bhp + 4WD = Mayhem!!

That looks awesome, nuff said. I keep looking at the pics, and the more I do, the better the lip looks. Never seen anything like this car, the front end just sets it apart!

Welcome along mate. Good luck with your search for the car your looking for.

Welcome along mate, purple wheels to be different? Why not hey!? Get some pics up before and after.

Bronze ftw.

Don't buy an SPS. They are terrible fails tbh. You want one from Zisco or Ricky at Race Rech. WEPR are good too. If you got the money and never want tO buy another mani then go straight to Rick.

His daddy sorted it for him. Sent out the parts to people who paid up etc.

Where did you order it from?

That is pretty awesome! What that black thing that he's sticking in it?

Cheers Dean, that one was a non turbo!

Welcome along buddy. Yeah www.photobucket.com is the best way to upload pics. I really want to see pics of the cupholders! I had some in my old Starlet too and they were the only set I've ever seen!

*Excited!!!*

x2 Thank god.

Stunner!!

That's come creepy shit!!

Just a word of 'warning' - a lot of members on CivicLife said that this is going to be chav galore.

Did the manifold fit okay in the end?

Nicely done. I have a feeling that the HKS bov could be a replica at that price though. See you at the Trafford meet hopefully!

Starlet looks cool, thought about lowering it at all?

That cage is awesome! And goes with the wheels too, nice buy!! Evo doesn't look too bad either!

Ahh I just sold a JAM ECU for £450 delivered, it looked almost brand new!! Someone special got a bargain, you know who you are!

Not so bad on insurance!
