Have you been on the DTA forum mate? Very helpful on there. http://www.dtaforum.com/ I've looked into the DTA series myself quite a bit so have a good understanding of it if you need any help You'll most likely find Chris over on TGTT mate. Username is Chris@CCM

The piston will be fine. There is nothing wrong with grinding a piston ring to get the correct ring gap! Normally rings are pretty much spot on in terms of ring gap, but it is quite common to have to grind the ring to get the correct clearence. Depending how cheap it is, its worth a punt at tbh. Even if you split it for parts. Or if you have mechanical experience then rebuild it yourself. And using Non turbo bearing shells is fine, the 4EFE and 4EFTE cranks are the same. Although I would be using ACL bearings.

If going standalone you may as well run sequential injection. You can just use the stock triggers to run sequential injection. Get in contact with Chris @ CCM, he's the man to speak to about wiring up using the stock triggers. Although it is advised to run an external crank trigger simply because its more accurate as you run higher rev limit. You don't need fuel or oil pressure sensors but you will need them if you plan on running any safety cut features which I would recommend.

Just because you can hear more doesn't mean its doing its job. I'd choose a K&N filter as they have so many sizes available, are cheap because they are widely mass produced, don't carry JDM price tag, filter well even when covered in dirt and still flow.

Use a small flat blade screw driver, like the ones for glasses to straighten out the fins. Takes ages but well worth it.

Better than not having one but their still shit. As soon as you can afford to get something better do so mate.

Run the skinny'est tyres you can get away with. No point running large tyres as its just dead weight.

Take it Chris, monster kit for an animalistic car

Offers?

You would need to swap the ecu as its programmed to use coilpacks rather than a dizzy.

Good ecu, will do most things you want on a starlet. But tbh unless you plan on changing your ignition setup theres no need to swap over to a standalone unit unless you just want features like ALS, LC etc.

Its what my mrs tells me, or maybe shes just trying it on lol.

I heard sex works a treat ;)

The AFR debate goes on lol. Turbo motor produces best peak torque with an AFR 11.4-12.2 N/A Motor AFR 11.9-12.8 AFR means nothing when tuning for maximum performance anyway, as you will adjust the AFR to suit maximum ignition advance as possible throughout the entire rev range.

Someone must fancy 350+ WHP?

It doesn't have to go in the downpipe mate, probably better for it to run further along into the exhaust as to not disrupt gas flow out of the cylinder head.

True, but what are the chances of an oil manufacturer releasing such data of their products? Plus once an oil has been overheated once, its properties are never the same thereafter.

Most oil at 120 degrees starts breaking up the particles. Anything over 115 degrees you should be looking at changing the oil to a thicker grade or get an oil cooler. Im sure Toyota recommend 1 bar every 1000rpm.

Normally goes by the market price of the products against their added bhp value. But for those I wouldn't really see much of an increase in premium, brakes might bump it up a smidge.

The CE28's fit over big brakes nice bceause of the spoke design is further outward, where as the grid drifts have the spokes inwards leaving not much room the the caliper. It's not really the disc size thats the problem, as proven with the wilwood 4 pots which use the 280mm disc.

Bump

If the duration was less then it wouldn't be so bad, think stock cams are like 220 deg.

I believe these are the speedvision ones which Sam got Crower involved in the manufacture of.

The VF35 is similer to the td05 I believe and are able to pump around 350bhp. Ted with the 4paw is the man you wanna speak to, he swears by the VF35. Nothing wrong with running a larger turbo it is actually beneficial as it puts less strain on the engine as its more efficient than a smaller turbo boosting higher.

If running one small and one large it would have to be ran in sequential configuration otherwise the smaller turbo would end up over rev'ing and destroying itself. Tbh it probably can be done but you would have to sacrifice power steering, air con etc to make space. Plus essentially you would have to run two manifolds with runners 1 & 3 and 2 & 4 linked to tbe turbos. Which is a waste of time since this would be easier to run a twin scroll setup. The engine is really too small to utilise a twin turbo setup.
