Mate you know what, there's one on ebay atm, white glanza, its ONLY just been imported and its being broken. WTF? Why get a fresh import and then break it? Whats the point? This one : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BREAKING-SPARES-1999-TOYOTA-STARLET-GLANZA-EP91-WHEEL-NUT-FRESH-IMPORT-/121095482627?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1c31da6d03

HRF in Japan went bust mate so thats a no go. Only way to get parts is second hand now

This still going mate? What lance would I need for the Nilfisk C110 4-5? And I'll take some magifoam as well please

You do know that the sealant inbetween the seams is what holds the body panels together and it helps absorb road bumps, and also stops the chassis from flexing to a certain degree. I've removed mine for seam welding, are you getting yours welded?

Am sure thats one of the JDM demo cars, that picture has been around for yonks.

Ay I know that like, but it looks as if it still had roughly the same sort of wheelbase as a starlet. It was even using the 4wd running gear wasn't it?

Been covered plenty of times http://www.toyotagtturbo.com/forums/showthread.php?9694-Whose-done-a-5E-Conversion Basically the only thing good from the 5E is the block and crank. Stock doesn't last long, the Jamaican's were using the thicker FHE rods which take more boost, the EFE rods are like chicken legs and you'll struggle to make anymore than 18psi reliably on them. They also swapped out the pistons for the 4EFTE ones for lower compression.

High comp pistons, skim the head, skim the block, cams, throttle bodies.

Dan's has been around for agessssss now. Even an Evo engine has been put in one Still waiting for a 2jz though lol.

Use a dremel or die grinder to remove the material with something like a carbide burr or a stone, you'll probably chew through quite a few stones though I would expect as they are designed to be used with soft materials like alloys.

Here's some lightweight ones, not cheap though. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toyota-starlet-lightweight-pulleys-set-/370817797187?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5656768c43 I wouldn't recommend using the crank pulley either because its not a harmonic damper pulley. Adjustable cam pulley here : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toyota-starlet-lightweight-adjustable-timing-pulley-/370817797197?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5656768c4d

What pulleys is it? And are you after lightweight ones or just stock?

What kinda price mate?

Coolant temp sensor possibly mate. If its not giving back the correct reading to the ecu it will overfuel.

Edit wrong formula lol. Its : CR = (CV + CCV) / CCV CV = Cylinder Volume CCV = Combustion Chamber Volume CV = Engine capacity / number of cylinders CCV = Combustion chamber volume + Piston dish + headgasket thickness If flat top pistons are used then the piston dish won't be required to add, if the piston protrudes into the combustion chamber it becomes : CCV = Combustion chamber volume - Piston Volume + headgasket thickness If you have a set desired ratio in mind you can work out what your combustion chamber volume needs to be or piston volume by re-arranging the fo

Ah nice, knew about Alamo from quite a while back but never thought about them tbh lol. You watch I can see a lot of people buying them now as well! I would probably be looking at what the Jamaican's have done tbh, although I'm not sure what headgasket they use when they swap pistons, but obviously the stock 4E pistons are the weak link with ringlands. I was going to run as close to 8.5:1 as possible and look to boost atleast 1.6 bar on a GT28, I'll probably even go to 2+bar on some occasions. So you should have no problems, I read through Harry's build thread earlier and he was running

Argh they seem quite good, even release all their material composition so the whole world can copy them lol. You get them from Alamo? Thats a cracking price, can't complain at that. Not sure as to why he can't run more boost as it's been a while since I've read his build thread, but it must have something to do with the fact the E series was never designed to be boosted at that high compression ratio. It's not high by todays standards, but it is coming on nearly a 25 year old design engine. The EFE was 9.4:1 and the FHE was 9.8:1, I know Spuddy's engine ran a 8.5:1 although he was runnin

Yeah I did check and it was like an A4 Avant or something? Good going though, atleast they hold up well for some engines! Ah ASC, never heard of them? Good price? Knew they would sell out of them rods though, everyone on here's brought a set thats why lol. 9:1 on Wiseco pistons? Thats unheard of tbh, are they flat tops then? I always take what the advertised CR is with a pinch of salt tbh as it varies too much to tell. What kinda fuel are you planning on running? To make the most of maxing the turbo you'll have to be running 99 Ron and a good engine management system atleast. I know

They look quite nice, look like the mx5 enkei's. Are they some kinda knock off's?

Looks very clean mate! It needs a grille though to fill that gap, or a big turbo

Where you get it bud and what kinda price? Wouldn't mind one for a daily lol. Drop me a pm

Practice makes perfect

Thats epic, reckon its a challenge to build a faster one

MBC's are shit, and pretty dangerous. Wouldn't recommend at all.

Loads, its a well suited turbo to these engines hence why lots of people run them. They can be used as a daily quite easily, its not like they are as difficult to drive as a gt35. The engines are fine providing they are built and tolerenced correctly, I've yet to see a block crack due to the stress of high power...
