  1. Put a 50mm throttlebody off a 4afe corolla on a tubular manifold. It matches up right and the throttle sensor is a sensor.

    Our uk gen2 is a more refined version of the gen1. The gen1 92-93 had 88ps with a up n down torque curve and 6500rev limit, the jdm had a higher limit hence 100ps. The gen1 used a 50mm tb and fte type manifold and the 4_2_1 ex manifold. It also had slighty more lift, slighty. The injectors were average squirty things and it had normal fuel pressure.

    The gen2, our uk engine has 45mm throttlebody, longer AND narrower inlet runners and slightly, slighty less lift on the inlet cam. I believe to improve torque over the whole range. Bhp is also 10hp higher over the range until we hit our lower 6500rpm limit. The exhaust is a 4_1 type, its alot cheaper to make than the 4_2_1 but theres no evidence that it is better or worse than the gen1.

    The gen2 also has a better type of injector- more missy spray than squirty squirty. It has a throttle sensor for more accurate tuning for mpg than the basic on off switch on the gen1 and fte. The idle control is on the tb instead of the manifold mounted gen1. It has 75bhp and is in the starlet and in corollas from 1993_1997 roughly

    The bugeyed corolla is basically a gen2, although it has a tublar inlet manifold, this gives it 86bhp, same as when u put this manifold on your starlet! If you measure the runners they are bigger than all the other manifolds in diameter. If you measure all the demensions and get your little sister to do the maths like me youll see it uses some ram effect induction.

    Then gen3 also has this tubular 86bhp inlet manifold. It is even more refined for emmisons and stuff than the uk gen2. It might have a 6800rpm limit. It uses coilpack ignition, a knock sensor and crankangle sensor to do its business. It has a 45mm throttlebody.

    Its best to look at the offical toyota dynos for these engines then go look at the power leaderboard socks made and compare all our dyno printouts. Then see what mods made what power and importantly WHERE in the rev range it was made. Useable power and torque is more important than peak figures (this is not a honda forum) :-)

    For reference I know fuck all about most things but I do know what doesnt work if that helps.

  2. Just remember to put the serice bolt in the cog on the inlet cam before you take it out. Thats mechanic speak for screw one of those black bolts into the hole on the cog bit or it will spring free and give u knocking noise, again its in the how to on tgtt

  3. Chris can I just say this is the most complete throttlebodies setup I have ever seen for our cars and one of very very few sets to make it past prototype stages. The manifold is properly made, the jointers are sound, the cable setup works, the tps sensor is a bolt on job and the whole setup is a straight forward fitting.

    Most of all you have video footage of good if not great power/speed gains. Goodluck with the sale lad and at a fair price too.

  4. Mine was leaking below the rear light where the panel sealer had began to leak, its the silicone stuff thats painted over. A good clean, dry and bury it in silicone. Homebase/B&Q and get the silicone that goes on wet or damp surfaces.

    Usually its the figure 8 shaped seal around the rear lights has got dried up gunk on it which lets water past. Give that a clean first and reseal. Sit in a stripped out boot and have a mate with a garden hose pour it over the car

  5. Lift up the rear seat and see is it wet underneath. There are two rubber grommets under the seats to the outside of the car. Also check your boot if its wet. Mines been steaming up but ive put that down to the cold cold weather.

  6. Thanks chris and yeah its the us paseo gasket. Billy I was all set for the manual conversion there but I took a lust for a zzfe corolla as Id like a 5door towbar'd airconditioned cruiser this year and the starlet only gets drove to work and back so Id lost the love. My rpm switch arrived last week so Im fitting the acis manifold and may well keep the starlet for another while..
