where did you get the 'Turbo' decals from?

I just actually had them made. It's your standard turbo decal for toyota suv's I think maybe from the landcruisers (which share the same lettering/font with our turbo emblem)

Great video and build man love your attention to detail ;)

Thanks man appreciate it

Any cooling issues with retaining the TMIC rather than going with a Front mount?

In this ten lap race we joined we did start to feel a bit of heat soak at about 7th/8th lap – but I really didn't design this to be a race car since I have a gt turbo dedicated for that purpose. Driving daily though I haven't noticed it much, maybe after an hour in standstill traffic during the day. Otherwise you wouldn't even notice that it was still on the stock TMIC.

truly stunning work buddy !!

i would love to see this in the flesh, but its a bloody long way to go :-(

Thank you! Hey if ever you find yourself in the Philippines for any reason, just hit me up and I'd gladly show the car to you

Absolutly stunning build mate, great inspiration for people to get stuck in and make there dream Toyota if they want to.......

Thank you man. Yeah I myself thought that I wouldn't be able to actually see this build completed after several setbacks. You really just need to be persistent.

What power did it make on the stockish setup with the emu??

I actually have a slightly different setup now than when I had it on the dyno. But anyway here is the previous dyno sheet numbers. These are all at the wheel figures – with the stock ct9 turbo at 1bar, ported stock exhaust manifold, manual boost controller (I misplaced my AVCR boost control unit and couldn't find it until a month later), stock TMIC, stock internals with ARP headbolts on 97 octane pump gas (Shell VPower Racing)

Baseline came in at 123.15 wheel horsepower and 128.95 foot-pounds at the wheels. I was able to get it mapped to produce 133.8 wheel horsepower and 157.62 foot-pounds of torque at the wheels.

Currently though I was able to source and install a Blitz K1-200v turbo and because it hasn't been mapped properly to this turbo I'm running slightly lower boost at .8 bar. I also finally found the AVCR boost controller and I have it installed and working. I'll have this mapped to the new turbo soon enough.

Thanks!

So, I really haven't found the time to update this with what's been happening with the car. Mainly because I've just been enjoying driving her daily.

And now it's actually been about a year after we built this car – so I decided to take her up to the mountains (as I've done with my previous ones) and finally take a video of her. You'll see some of the new updates I did to the car in the vid that never made it to this thread.

She's not a supercar by any stretch of the imagination – but she is quick enough. After a year of being daily driven – she's definitely far from being pristine. That said, nothing can really beat this car from being a pretty decent all-rounder. Drive it daily in city traffic, take it to the track, take it on a roadtrip. No worries. No fuss. No problem. I love this fucking car.

This was shot an hour before we headed home on an old dinky Lumix GH1 and an ancient GoPro HERO2. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks!

I have a couple of updates with the car and I'll update the build thread as soon as I get my thoughts organized. But first here's a pic from a shoot we did last nigh with a friend's Civic SiR.

Thanks! I initially had it made to cover up a huge scratch some asshole did on my car, but I actually ended up keeping it.

From a recent JDM meet..

Took the Glanza to another track day this weekend. Suspension still needs a bit of tuning (and better tires) and we still need to increase the boost up a bit. But otherwise it was fun, no dramas. Drove to the track ran the event and drove right back home.

Emanage Ultimate wired up and AVCR plumbing installed. Ready for a bit of tuning

@TrisK even these TE37V's are very light. I was actually surprised at how light it was because I was expecting otherwise. You can lug one wheel around with one hand. I'd say around 4-5 kilos each

Yep it's the 16v ones that can take a good amount of boost

Took the car out for her first out of town roadtrip over the weekend!

Thanks guys... @Vincent-ep91 I don't exactly know what it's called but its those thin rubber moulding that they use to line fender flares... We used it to line the whole OEM kit to give it a bit of contrast and to actually protect the body from scratching against the kit's sharp edges.

Also I've recently found a "ghetto" solution to having a sound system while still keeping the glanza lightweight. Here's what I did:

I think you can just dissect the inner reflective part and still keep the lens and the housing of the RHD headlights so the size remains the same...

@JayJ unfortunately I'd need a pair of LHD headlights (probably from LHD starlet reflets) so I can convert the headlights to work properly with LHD roads. But as it is I just maxed out the adjustment of the headlights to get as near as I could to the proper alignment, and its working fine at the moment.

Quick update. I've just really been enjoying the car these past few months breaking in the newly refreshed engine. Immediately after that I took it to its first lap around the race track.

She did a decent 2m31.871s despite hitting the speed limiter down the main and back straights. Stock boost, stock ECU.

Fortunately this just came in... Had a special Y Socket made with emanage and avcr wires spliced into it. I think its time to get rid of that speed cut and get a modest tune out of the engine

Bonus photo, here she is attending one of the local car meets:

Took her out for a spin to grab breakfast. After that fixed a couple of small niggles with the car.

Thank you guys for all the kind words. by the way I'm still on the lookout for an LHD dash from an EP90/91 or 96-99 Tercel/Paseo to really set the build off. If you guys have any leads or have one I can purchase just let me know! Thanks!

@dj-rix

Those are TE37V's 15 x 7.5 +35 my tires are 195 50 R15. Both fenders have been rolled.

Still looking for any leads to finally complete my build

Thanks guys! I still have so much planned for this car, but for now I'm taking a break and will enjoy driving the car for now...

Thanks guys! @FMuscle yep even the R34 is converted to LHD as well. Its illegal to drive RHD cars here so all RHD cars have to be converted

Apologies for the lack of updates, but between getting the build done, selling of my EK9 and buying an R34 Skyline I had too much going on to focus on documenting the rest of the build.

That said, the good news is that – SHE'S FINALLY DONE!!!

Here are some photos of her:
