I have seen someone over on TGTT use one but I can't remember about the fitting, worth a search over there. As far as what I can remember it wasn't too much hassle as the shifters aren't too dissimilar.

I would leave the inlet valves alone mate, they are not the problem and are more than capable of 400bhp, however the exhaust valves are well undersized and the ratio between inlet-exhaust diameter proves this. Hence why a lot of people end up running wild cams to overcome the scavenging left behind in the chamber after combustion and diluting the fresh charge. Not only will the larger exhaust valves yield more power but they will also reduce turbo lag. In some instances I've seen where even the inlet valves have been made smaller to accommodate larger exhaust valves. This only stands true for turbo tuning.

Harry's build thread here http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/9978-5efte-carbon-clad-submarine/

Agree with Rob, if there's no crankcase breather it will blow somewhere.

They are always a nice item to have because it allows the tuner to maximize your fuel setup, otherwise you would have to keep going to larger and larger injectors to provide the right fuel flow for your setup.

This one here mate 😊 http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/69965-running-in-fresh-4efte/?fromsearch=1

What ecu and boost controller setup are you using? I would probably use some boost by gear control. Wider tyres do not give you more grip by the way. All they do is increase the unsprung mass. What times is it your trying to set on the drag and what's your best ET so far? Reason I ask is going for more power isn't the right option, it's chassis setup that's the way forward. I suggest you take a look at Harry's GT build thread. He has only been running like 240bhp and managed 10 second quarters. Another option is Hoosier tyres. Either talk to Harry or either Zisco and ECC as they are the main people that run full slicks so will be able to advise for sizes better than I can.

Haha sorry dude. I'm a motorsport engineer and studied my degree at Oxford Brookes Uni. If you wanna know more about what I do and have done then drop me a pm I'll be happy to run through it with you 😊

Harmonically balanced and Harmonically dampened are two different things.

Being alloy lightweight and being balanced is all well and good, but its still not a harmonic damper pulley which is able to absorb vibrations. Instead those vibrations are transfered back to the thrust bearings.

Second this. All those cars listed have a way better chassis and suspension system than the starlet so can actually put the power down. I'm sure there's not many starlets that would get near a Lotus on a track either.

I suspect your using corolla cables, so I guess the corolla bushes. That said I think they may well be the same.

Tyres, LSD , Ant roll bars in that order imo. Providing all your rubber mounts are good. Poly engine mounts are a good upgrade as they help to reduce wheel hop. Having designed a few suspension and chassis systems for race cars I would find out what specs your ohlins are, the spring rate, the rate of bump and droop. This is one area where everyone gets it wrong.

Straight fit as far as I'm aware mate, few people over on TGTT have done it.

Plenty of Skylines get broken mate and its not as if its a sought after part really so shouldn't cost much.

Laser, Clarke, Draper they all do the same thing mate

You would be better off changing the servo to something larger to give a greater amount of assisted force. Changing the master cylinder needs to be carefully matched with the area of the pistons. I've heard thr Skyline GTR servo is a good upgrade

Yes they are the same pump, however if your going to get a new pump might as well spend an extra couple of quid and get a walbro.

Depends what you can offer really mate.

I thought the Jam actuator only has the one boost port.

You shouldn't have a problem with a dye grinder as they rotate faster than a dremel, guess your using the wrong bit.

I've used a dremel before and had no problems? A dremel with like a polishing bit with some auto sol or any metal polishing compound will bring it up.

That's not a bad figure mate, peak torque is nice and high, shame it only lasts like 400rpm though. Whats your setup now as when we last spoke you had a few niggly problems?

It's the smaller of the two sizes mate
