A couple of weekends back me and my cousin whent to pick up his first starlet. After having a go in the glanza and him finishing off his last project he decided he wanted one. I'll start with a few of his old cars before getting to the GT. First the Audi Then the s14 On to the scooby Then the cupra He's only just finished the cupra and thinking about selling it on to fund the starlet build. After a few weeks of searching we found the GT, took the low loader up to rugby and picked up this He's got a fair few plans for it, I'll try keep this updated along with mine

I said that but on the s14 it's inbetween the turbo and air filter, we've just had a bit of a debate over it. Looks like I won

Well the fella had it on his ep82 running a tdo4. I thought the same as you but it's confused me a little.

Just been and got this for the GT Now what side of the turbo/inlet mani does the maf go?

Haha bit like our place then. I'll give them a ring later and see how much it'll be. The machine shop I've been using don't seem to want to answer there phone today.

Did you get some indicator stalks mate? I did pm you some pics I think

There website looks good, they seem to know what they're doing to. Cheers for that

The cars been on stands since Xmas so that's no bother, I'm seriously considering just sending the whole lot away and letting some one else forge it tho. Shit £4k on just the head, that's crazy

Bugger that! I budgeted 3 for the engine lol. It was a spur of the moment decision to turn it into a project tho and I'm working off a weekly wage. If I had to do it again I'd get the money sorted first. How the fook can you spend £10k on the engine? I'd expect it to be gold plated for that

I'm working that one out lol I'm looking at a £10k bill at this rate. Nice one buddy I'll check them out

Yes mate mk2

That's not to far, I got my glanza from there. I'll have a search for them and try them out cheers. If not the whole bloody lots going to mike@td and he can forge it for me lol I'm over budget on it already and havn't even ordered the internals

Ok I do use a machine shop close to me but they seem to be as useful as a chocolate tea pot atm. I'll see if they can do it. Cheers for the help matey

Oh bollox!!! Where could I send it to get that done and get the valves lapped in, get it skimmed and have my zisco stem seals put in? The bill just gets bigger

I've stripped my head down and muddled up the shim buckets like a twat. Are the inlet and outlet shims the same size? Would I be ok to put them back in any old order? Bit worried now

Yeah I think I'm going to have to go for one. Cheers for the help mate

Sorry mate there 550's on eBay

How cheaps cheap bud? Is it ready for me to just chuck in? It's got injectors, fuel rail, manifold etc all on still? Pm me a price please

The loom I got is shagged and already got a v. It was for my bird but she's decided she wants an A3 now

Think there's a set on eBay atm

Shit picture but mine has them moulded and flushed into the bumper.

Think I'm just going to put an NA engine back in. Any one got an idea how much I'd be paying for a NA engine with ancillaries and manifolds? Not sure on a wire loom yet tho

It can be done, they'd have to be stripped, repolished, etched and anodised for the best finish. That ways pretty expensive tho depending on the style and shape of the wheel.

Cheers for the reply I thought about EMU but then for a few extra hundred I could get an FC if I can find one. Think 460's sound good, I'm guessing just get hold of some denso ones yeah?

I'm going to be running a forged engine on a k26 turbo. Now what would people suggest on the ecu side of things? I was thinking apexi fc but they are pretty pricey. Also what would peoples suggestions be on injectors? Any advice would be much appreciated, I'm aiming for 250bhp+
