The above happened to me with a landrover defender today, came into work with a lack of power, tested to see lol and the fucking turbo explodes haha. Tiny fragments all through the oil and oil shooting back through the induction system haha. Sorry for the spamage, sure this wont happen to you. If you can, try a known good turbo on your car to see if it clears up. But yeah try the simplest/cheapist options first, fueling.

Saw this on gumtree />http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/toyota-starlet-glanza-vtec/1001208752 Would really like to see a build thread on this, just to see the kinda work involved etc. Anyone know the car/owner?

Soooo many different views on this issue. The outcome is always that you need a 'friendly' mot tester.

^ Yeah i make a mess every time i read this......

When the rx8 is sold buy a cheap v to convert this!!

I live in scotland......... Nuff said haha

See pm?

Boooo!!! Haha

Share the info luke ^ !!! Looks good, going by the one pic haha. Will be a good build if its up to the standard of your last two eps.

I gave up looking for ep*5s, none left in japan really and nobody was selling any in the uk. Only a few around the 4k mark. So i was just gonna get a gt instead. That red 85 is so cheap considering its been converted. Maybe too cheap....

Holy shit i want that red 85!!

Looks amazing man, prefer the coupes to the sedans. Is this a import or uk model? And what turbo is it running?

Enzo said he was gonna put in the st205 running gear, pretty sure it would be superior over ep*5 running gear, as there are some very high powered celicas running standard drivetrain. How much power/torque does a standard ep*5 come with, model dependant, surely the components couldn't last long pushing 400 bhp.

The nearest reputable tuner to you would probably wallace performance. There is a big thread/argument on here on how to setup fuelling with good info. But to do it yourself you will need a wideband.

Yeah there are a few running over 300 bhp, and i'm the ep85 shorty is building will match those. Or do a full st205 conversion with that running gear and a 3sgte engine!!! Also have you sourced a ep*5?

Glanza looks really clean man, and you should defo keep the plates. But maybe im biased haha

What pressure is it showing whilst cranking? You will obv need someone to do it so you can read the guage. Try changing the fuel filter first as its prob clogged up, relatively cheap aswell. Just before you go changing the pump. Jake you should know if yours is on its way out now the rear interior is stripped, because it'll be whining its tits off.

Think the problem you guys have is the fuel pump not priming properly on ignition / cranking.

Could be fuel related, so filter, pump, injectors, lines, rail, tank etc. Try changing the fuel filter first.

Think there was a oem optional roof rack. Number 54? exterior section. />http://www.ukstarletclub.com/forums/index.php?app=ccs&module=pages&section=pages&id=2&record=12

Think tuning developments buy fucked 4e engines. Dont know price though.

Yeah but a lot of glanzas and gts are not registered as they should be, and a fair few dont have the original engines in them. This might not matter at all for the VIC, would be good to know though.

Ah well.... bit of a shame when people dont share their pride and joy with others via forums or at shows etc. If only i had the cash for it.

Just seen this glanza on pistonheads and wondered if it was on here or tgtt? It has a really impressive spec and i would quite like to read a build thread. />http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/4229379.htm

That is it awesome! Some really nice TRD parts in it aswell. Pretty sure they produced ep70 series starlets in indonesia aswell as japan, probably explains why there are still lots left.
