Ep71T Posted October 24, 2020 Author Share Posted October 24, 2020 (edited) @Claymore I used an N/A exhaust manifold made a flange for the 12b turbo and outlined it on the manifold. Then I cut the outline (screwed up one manifold lol) and made a tight fit of the flange. Took it at a local welding shop and he welded up the (unweldable cast iron carefully). by the way pick a nice oil free manifold from the wreckers 😆. He did short bursts of welding and let it cool of slowly. I will try to find the pictures and post them. . @sam44 Thank tou for the kind words 😀 Here is a picture with the virgin (non turbo)grille waiting for some track time. Edited October 24, 2020 by Ep71T Forgot the picture Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ep71T Posted October 24, 2020 Author Share Posted October 24, 2020 The suspension setup is koni yellows just rebuild ep8 top mounts and eibach springs . About -1.3 camber and slight toe in .. After the track time fenders where off to build some fender braces .. It felt a lot of flex and its time for some bracing. 😀 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ep71T Posted October 24, 2020 Author Share Posted October 24, 2020 So i found the manifold pictures 😊 I made a plug that bolts to outlet and maybe when i stumble on an external wastegate I will put it there 😄 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Quite popular with some but feared by others. The aussies love it. Go for it. Edited October 27, 2020 by Claymore Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ep71T Posted January 10, 2021 Author Share Posted January 10, 2021 Happy new year all. Lets see how 2021 goes for us. 😀 So fender braces where made along with a lower tie bar and a rear strut brace. I also added a front engine mount to keep things nice and tight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ep71T Posted October 6, 2021 Author Share Posted October 6, 2021 So after surviving covid 19 I hope this finds you all well !! We have a Yaris Gr track pack and I had to put the wheels on the starlet to see how bonkers it looks. So the cheap way out was to sandblast and powder coat my existing Turbina Renault wheels I am making new rear beam bushings as we speak and the boost is up to 200kpa now Pink rx400 injectors do the job for now. I am only hitting 90% duty cycle at times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ep71T Posted October 14, 2021 Author Share Posted October 14, 2021 Here are the new Bushings for the rear beam, What a difference... Its one of those things that you must do at day#1 I found a shop that makes any kind of bushing and rubber mount and at any hardness level. It charged me 35 euro per piece.
