  1. I wouldn't bother with the 4EFE, just enjoy the engine you have currently and save up for a standard 4EFTE setup. Dropping that in with standard ECU, Turbo etc will be far better power for the money than trying to tune an NA engine. If you do go for the 4EFE then you won't need an adjustable fuel pressure reg or to swap the injectors. Not sure why Sam is encouraging that. Putting in an adjustable FPR and injectors with the standard ECU will most likely cause all sorts of issues with fueling. If you add some more of engine management then there is still no need for a FPR or other inje
  2. Sometimes I find water gets in via my door rubbers if the car is parked on a high camber road. Door rubbers aren't sealing properly at the bottom so water ends up on the plastics at the bottom of the door when shut
  3. Welcome! you should fire up some pictures of the EP82's as well if you have any
  4. That's all cool with regards to the fuel pressure, plugs, injectors etc... I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure timing isn't affected by the length of the stroke on the crank. On both 4e and 5e engines the engine position sent to the ECU from the cam sensor in distributor (some 5e's also have a crank sensor but yours doesn't). The stock ignition map from both the 5e and 4e ECU's should be fine to run the car pottering about. What you need to check is that the timing has been set to 10 degrees using a timing light and bridging the relevant pins on the OBD port. Another thing to check is if
  5. Just my 2p, that year will come round sooner than you think and you might be hard pushed to find another car to replace it. It's a great car and you've clearly put a lot of time and effort into it. I would hold on to it personally.
  6. Great build man, stick in there. The last 5% always takes 95% of the time getting the small details sorted out. Just out of interest you aren't using the Injector Dynamics yet? Another thing to check would be what fuel pressure you have with the engine running and vac line pulled off. Think it should be 2.3 bar or something for stock pressure. Running really rich will cause misfires, it can also foul your spark plugs so would be careful you don't end up damaging them. If you need to replace them then a lot of people (including myself) swear by the copper NKG's rather than the iridiu
  7. Nice one! Welcome, you should upload some pictures or start a build thread. Got a few other users with EP70 projects on here as well
  8. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/toyota-japan/starlet/EP91/61052/electric/8103/81510 I know this is an old thread but I use amayama.com for finding part numbers. You can see on that page above it says what year each part was used. You want 81510-10300 as these were produced from 12-1997 onwards (aka 98/99)
  9. It doesn't seem to be happening with all users but it's happening when I try to message Enkei. Seems to be users with lower post counts (less than 50) the message section doesn't load or allow me to type in it, that's the only pattern I can see but I've only tested with about 10 users.
  10. Don't know if this is the case for everyone but I'm unable to private message anyone
  11. That is a residential address, I would take that up with paypal. There may be a business registered there but it's definitely a house.

    New GR Yaris

    https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/toyota-gr-yaris-hot-hatch-unveiled-257bhp-turbo-engine Looks awesome, finally Toyota producing something decent with, hopefully, a Toyota engine this time. Not a big fan of the Yaris in general but this is cool as
  13. Hey there, from Glasgow myself. Get a build thread up when you're ready and put your questions in the relevant sections. Are you going with a standalone ECU?
  14. Amazing man, love the fact your going with the supercharger. Really interested to see how this works out for you.
  15. I'll check this when I get to the car after work, cheers man!
  16. I've got the same thing happening with mine so keen to see what answers come up.
  17. Finally got the car mapped. Shout out to Chris at Dyna Tune for holding my hand while I mapped it myself. Big thanks to Stu on here as well for all his help getting me started with a base map and all the advice! So it made 138 hp at the hubs on low boost 0.7 bar and 184 hp at the hubs at 1.2 bar. Pretty happy with that. Works out around 211 at the crank so it's no slouch! Going to just enjoy the car for a while now. Sort the tacho as well as I'm repeatedly hitting the limiter haha
  18. Might be worth seeing whoever has the box if they can supply the shaft with it. They come up from time to time but generally get sold with a box rather than on their own
  19. Yes that to me looks like an OEM LSD Gearbox. It has the lsd outside of the box on the drivers side, standard gearboxes do not have this. Be warned that you will need to source a shorter drivers side driveshaft as they are shorter because the lsd pokes out the side. These drive shafts would have came with the car which had the LSD box fitted but can be quite difficult to find.
  20. Think my issue is I've wired it into a plug near the ECU which I tested with a multimeter and appeared to go to the correct pin on the clocks but I'm going to wire directly to the clock when I have time, this is a low priority. So I've got some dyno time booked in less than a month to map this myself on an actual dyno which will make life much easier than trying to do it on the road. I'll actually be able to map the ignition tables properly as well as I'll be able to see the torque changing in real time. The guy who owns the dyno has happily agreed to help me listen for knock using my Lin
  21. Not sure what you mean by this? does the factory 20v 4age have an electronic ICV?
  22. Cheers man. I don't have any pictures of mine but I did get the idea myself from Phil's build http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/71206-ep82-gt-ccm-demo-take-2/?page=6 Wiring wise I followed the Link G4+ help files. It's quite easy to fit, the glanza throttle body has 2 holes where you need to tap threads in to mount the skyline TPS. I had to cut a bit off the pole part you mount the TPS to but other people used washers to space the TPS away from the throttle body
  23. Will do man, might be a while before I get round to this Nice one, I might send you a pm when I get round to designing the plate to pick your brains if that'd be cool? Yeah i was looking at the BMW ones, might go with a ford one as the aftermarket ones can be had for £20ish. You got any pictures of what you've done? I might do something like that temporarily as the sticking is quite annoying
