V_Jack Posted May 13, 2019 Author Posted May 13, 2019 I realise I haven't updated this for a while.... a fair amount of progress. Engine has been built, respray has been finished, cage is fitted. Next I am just awaiting the poly windows to get them back in, then I'll be concentrating on getting it rolling again, Once its rolling it'll be time for the turbo kit, and loom. Lots of pictures, sorry! Quote
glanzadude Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 nice car and love the jack stands the same colour off the car lol Quote
V_Jack Posted July 1, 2019 Author Posted July 1, 2019 update... Engine is now fitted into the bay, rear poly windows are all fitted, interior is almost done. Got the front end back on now the engine is in... now just to get the front suspension fitted and get it back rolling. Quote
Socks Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 Great to see the lump in dude! Love the engine bay colour! Quote
snails ep91 Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 this looks great. looking forward to seeing the rest of the build! keep updating! i miss reading a good build like this on here Quote
V_Jack Posted August 1, 2019 Author Posted August 1, 2019 Bit of an update, Hubs have all been stripped and rebuilt with new bearings etc... whiteline front arb fitted and the anti-lift kit also. Turbo is back from Midland Turbo, GT2860R with a Hybrid Billet wheel, rated for 410bhp. Making progress slowly, next big hurdle once the turbo kit and exhaust has been fabricated is working out somewhere to make me a complete engine and interior loom! Fitted the Livesports rear spoiler and rear lip finally also, seats are fitted also! Brake kit has been ordered from Keri at WMS also! Hoping that will be here this week - braided lines from MC to rear have been fitted with an adjustable bias valve, next hurdle I'm working on is the AN fittings and the brake lines! I also managed to find a picture of it back in 2010(?) when it was still white! Quote
akyakapotter Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 Looking good dude keep up the good work. Quote
Nanglebadger Posted August 2, 2019 Posted August 2, 2019 Not sure how I missed this! Loving the colour combo of the bay and body, looks class! Great attention to detail on this one! Keep up the great work bud! Phil. Quote
V_Jack Posted October 3, 2019 Author Posted October 3, 2019 Still plucking away slowly... Brakes all fitted, new windscreen is in and tidied up a few little bits... Quote
V_Jack Posted November 24, 2019 Author Posted November 24, 2019 Not much to update at current, feel like this year I've not touched it much and I've been sidetracked with other projects but finally got some time on it this weekend, I finished ripping off all the old brake lines, I'm running HEL braided lines from the master straight to the callipers (Rear via a bias valve), so got those run in, finally fitted the driveshafts and got a few odds and ends sorted. WEPR supplied my K20 coil plate and the dizzy blank so I've fitted those.. In talks with a few places about loom etc, current options are looking to be either LINK or ECUMaster, unsure on which at current. Hoping to start picking up some progress soon, feels like I'm at the bitty jobs now! Quote
jiggaman_16 Posted November 29, 2019 Posted November 29, 2019 Never thought i'd see an orange Glanza that i liked ... Quote
V_Jack Posted December 23, 2019 Author Posted December 23, 2019 (edited) Needed to get it back down on all 4 wheels as needed to do some roof repairs on the unit. First time its been on all 4 wheels for nearly 2 years... crazy how the time flies. Almost a year since it was painted and I still haven't cleaned it lol. Hopeful that it will be heading to have the turbo kit sorted early in the new year and then onto having the wiring loom made. Edited December 23, 2019 by V_Jack Quote

Exhaust gas is 'lazy' at best so minimising the bends it has to flow through is beneficial. With a top mount manifold on a starlet with the space you have you end up with quite a lot of sharp radius' that will effect your spool. I ran a T3 precision with a .48 a/r housing, it was ok, however even with a small housing it was still laggy. Look at a T25 housing imo to give you more options. A T25 .6* will spool a lot better than a T3 .6* a/r., Hi! Do you maybe still have this housing? I need a housing, my turbo is fine and my housing is cracked, looked everywhere got in contact with precision, no luck for such an "old" turbo, which in my case still dynoed 3 months ago, produced easily 330hp with mild tuning, not aggresive one, so would like to keep it at least for now!
