From the picture can you see if the pipes are in there correct places for the standard hi-lo solenoid? I seem to be getting in hi mode the usual restriction on first gear but full boost in 2nd gear which i didnt think was possible unless you by passed that hi-lo solenoid. Confused!?!?!

cheers for that bud, explains alot. On the an aftermarket boost gauge what would you expect it to read when the engine is idling? To me logic says that when you hear the turbo spool up that the boost gauge would read above 0. Mine starts to boost while its still just below 0. My boost gauge is tapped off the hose that leads off the end of the BOV and back to the engine somewhere. I assume this is right as it came that way when i bought it. here is a pic

As soon as i swap those pipes around to bypass the hi-lo and get full boost in first and second gear the boost gauge read 0.85 bar and when there piped correctly it sits at a nice constant 0.65. When i swapped the pipes over i was quite overwhelmed at the diffrence but when i accelerated hard the engine started stuttering, feels like a limiter (Which i bored down to being the fuel cut)

Im just suprised that bypassing the hi-lo boost setting up the boost by that much. Dont understand it. I've not touched anything else

Yeah fair enough, these are the things i really need to know. I think i can get my head round boost creep, but what is over boost and why does it happen?

Hello there everyone, i have abit of a tech question. I have used your brill search engine to find previous topics on this subject but non of them were specific to my problem (Please prove me otherwise) I have recently become the owner of a starlet glanza and working on stats i've picked up from here about the cars i've noticed that my pressure on my boost gauge (Swoosh) is only running 0.6 bar. And thats all the way through the rev range. It definately wasnt in low boost mode. And i wasn't in 1st or 2nd gear. Now i have an adjustable boost knob but i didnt want to start playin with that just

Yeah i kinda like the rims and seats to be fair, personal preference i suppose, well pleased myself. just lookin at intercoolers now and some other new toys. Oh by the way a piece of information just incase any of you are interested, Forge hav greated and atmosperic and resurc dump valve al in one. Does a 60/40 split of boost. 60% is to keep the sensors happy me thinks. There releasing it at the autosport show at the NEC this next weekend so you may be able to either buy it there or atleast place an order. I know this is useless to the majority of you but just spreading the word

Naa its a manual, thought it would be best, but here she is anyway

Well cheers for all your advice, it paid off, and my patience did. Im now the proud owner of a Glanza Woohoo!!! Havent quite got it yet but im picking it up next week all being well. Pics will follow when i get it

I think it looks kinda kool. Looks far from stupid anyway

Does the dump valve sound the same or not? Suprised its quicker. Does anyone on here own one as i want to know how responsive the kickdown is then. Basically i found a minter with low mileage and mint body work at a mint price but only because its an automatic. Oh and also in a kick down what does the car rev to? Thanks for all your help chaps/chapesses

Just spoke to the guy you recommended, seems pretty sound. Apart from the obvious what is the diffrence between the lazybox glanza and a manual one? Can you still fit dump valves and the usual bits onto them? Is there much diffrence between 0-60?

Well im going up there sometime this week so i'll extra specially aware of parts that indicate its been in an accident. I was told the test the car goes through before its exported from japan was very strict and the car was then graded

This quite a passionate subject for him then?

Hmmm could be i suppose. Has anyone by chance had any dealings with keighley motors? I know a few of you told me to steer clear of bradford for imports but just thought id ask why

Just out of interest what is the low button on the control panel above the heater controls? The high/Low boost button is on the otherside so i couldnt work out what this one was. Go on someone put me to shame and make me sit in the idiots corner lol

Yeah its really nice that one is, Looks like it has been provisionally sold though. Cheers for the heads up anyways. PM sent ecksjay

yeah i plan to, seems so much yet i dont know about the car so for once im gonna wait. Got importers from everywhere contacting me so with abit of luck i should strike gold. Picked abit of a bad time to look for them now i think but hey. Arh just another thing, when requiring parts ie clutches, brakes, oil filters turbos etc do local garages normally scratch there heads and say sorry they cant help?

Naa i checked that as well. It was the white one on ebay with the big spoiler on the back of it. Thats the one i test drove. The guy wants 5 thousand+ for it. Just a little out of my price range

Initially i thought the same and that it would be fine after it warmed up but i test drove it for 15 mins and it was still revving high when i got back. Really gutted, when i first decided to look at these cars there was loads around for sale and now i have sold my car and have the cash to get one there aint many to be seen. The wonders of christmas

arh got ya, so in theory then its should pull better in 3rd then. The cars i've seen have all got about 80.000 on the clock, do you recon its abit risky buying one with that amount of miles on?

oh so you mean that even in 1st and 2nd the boost is limited to two anyway? Even in high mode? If im getting that right

What do starlet glanza's normal rev at on idle? Went to see one this weekend and in sat at 1.4 thousand revs. Just wondered if this was normal or down to a modification. It had a drop down intercooler. The other thing is is there alot of difference between high and low boost mode? Tried both and didnt seem to notice a difference. Just wondering if it had been bypassed, cheers chaps. P.S I have fallen in love with em. Brought a big smile to my face ha ha

Naa im 24 with 3 years no claims so im hoping it wont be too bad. All im waiting on now is to seel the car i have now and i'll be away!!! Just cant get the ball rolling fast enough, cheers fro all the advice though chaps

Yeah im hoping to find a white one as well
