That's not a "hot pipe" it's the "EFI" pipe and it's the intake tube for the turbo. A "hot pipe" is the pipe carrying hot compressed air from the compressor housing of the turbo to the intercooler. "Cold Pipe" is the pipe carrying cooled air from the intercooler to the throttle body.

You can leave the EFI pipe in place and blank off the mounting hole whilst fitting a breather to the rocker cover and an atmospheric dump valve to the hot pipe.

This way no boost creep by removing the EFi pipe, fixed problem.

Or: 

 

I would get the car running with as close to standard setup for now and then look at modifying and improving slowly over time. It becomes a spiralling project where you end up changing everything as you go along and it takes a long time and costs alot of money. Its up to you as its your car. The cheapest way would be to just fit a standard dump valve to replace the broken one.

Wiring, I hate to state the obvious but are these wires important (green circle)?

Also when using an Automatic ECU and wiring loom I think you have to bridge some wires relating to the gear selector position wiring? Something about sending a signal to the ECU to tell it the gearbox is in Park or neutral or it won't let the car start? I think you have already found this information in an earlier post but did you do it?

Hi. Yes I bridged the gearbox connector. I saw it in a video. A British kid dis the auto to mNual conversion on a Starlet.

Looks fine in this picture? Did it break later on?

Nice work on the power steering High pressure hose, looks very professional. :thumbsup:

Thanks. I spent €120 to exchange connectors on the stearing pump and AC hoses to keep my Corolla pipes but use the fte steering pump and AC. THE GUY IS A PRO AND BUILDS PIPES FOR Ferrari.

the wires in the picture are for the auto ecu/vehicle abs. not needed, also not found on the manual 4efte ems/ecu. 

 

Thank you Sam! We are going step by step, function by function. If you have an updated diagram with the ECU outputs for the auto to manual ECU fix it will be very useful. We are using the amnuals and ECU pinout info.

I'm simply trying to help Frankie make an informed decision by adding info I feel is relevant. The more info on the forum to help people the better.

 

And it is very much appreciated. Are you guys are helpful and I believe that all my questions and digging is precious for everybody on this platform. I spent thousands of euros and months of research to make this beautiful dream happened also gained by your pride and love for these engines. I am glad we are here exchanging great energy. 
 

today I will see my boy to continue the work. I received the down pipe from tune developments. Hi will work on a few things and then try to figure out where those two vacuum pipes (that originally go to the vacuum pump on the Starlet) Will get hooked on my Corolla. My car has that acid pump input on the steering pump. I need to do the same elsewhere. I hope you can help with a simple example. 
 

first issue is to adopt the free hose pipes that originally go to the vacuum pump that I do not have because the Corolla uses the steering pump to vacuum. I need a solution.

I bought oil Sandwich gauge but it doesn’t fit because it touches the steering pump bracket. We will have to try to peel some metal off it to get it in line. i’m not even thinking about taking the bracket off and ruining it for a gouge adapter. 
 

let me know if you can help with the pipes please.

I forgot to ask. Which nuts size and step should I buy for the turbo CT9 exit for the downpipe? 

90179-08082

The Nuts are m 8 x 1.25mm. Get some strong, thick washers as well because the Tuning developments downpipe holes are very big and the nuts can pull in!

Thank you. I temporary put some nuts to bring the car to the shop. The guy will use some washers when he finishes the modification. The downpipe has to be cut and has to go around the lower chassis. I bought the lambda for the downpipe with one wire. My boy is getting the wire to its original connection. 
Now I really need now where the 2 air hoses (vacuum for low rpm) can be connected. One pipe comes out of the lower throttle. The other from the lower part of the inlet. The are short and hanging there. Can you help?095286EC-67A8-45BE-A642-46A08DE20CB2.thumb.jpeg.8fee5ca289856539f1d02d15c9af4654.jpeg

these two air hoses go where they should. Should I modify some thing here to connect the two RPM air pipes? does this make sense? If so, how and which hose where? thanks

This looks pretty sketchy. Does the oil filter still seal well? I've been told the d1 spec sandwich plates fit without any work. Not sure if this is true, didn't try it myself. 

It is catchy. They do not fit. They touch the steering pump bracket. We are modifying it right now because I refuse to modify the bracket. We will see if it still works and doesn’t leak.

I am already aware of the gains from removing the restrictive "EFI" pipe, airbox and piping to reduce the upstream pressure drop created by them (as are most people on the forum by now I think?)

Sock filters are best left to itb trumpets in my opinion and the amount of oil used by ITG on the panel filter I had on a previous car was ridiculous and it dripped out coating the bottom of the airbox (not good for a turbo to ingest).

It is important for a cone filter to have a trumpet base also to help gather more air than a straight pipe, good performance gains here. Element / filter area of significant size to reduce the pressure drop of filter and also to choose the correct media (stainless gauze, foam or cotton.) The bigger the better as far as I'm concerned, more surface = less restriction and balance the size of filter against the material to get the correct flow depending on room in the bay.

Also be careful the silicone pipes and couplers don't suck flat, it is often best to use aluminium pipe as much as possible with minimal silicone to prevent this. Not usually a problem until the Turbo is larger and sucking hard but worth considering.

Yes, the Turbo intake pipe (TIP as commonly referred to in other circles) is nicknamed the EFI pipe as some models had 16 valve EFI sticker on them.

9105028-1990-toyota-starlet-thumb.jpg.60b5d38b7edaa09270de6e86e7183cec.jpg

I also don't think the cover on the intercooler is the Turbo because it has a sticker that says turbo 😉.

 

Hope your family member is recovering well.

I bought this air filter for engines below 1600 cc. 34E0C088-AF48-4F82-81D9-792A2C3E0DAB.thumb.png.7b9da855ab6eaefe3afdf17b9e32409c.png

the filter should work.

THE PIPES TO THE STEERING RACK VALVE, you can blank off most of the starlet lads do this, ive blanked them off on both my paseo and ep91 build. i cant tell any difference with engine loading at low rpm. 

the blue electric valve in the picture is for the charcoal canister. this is a big round black canister that sits against the bulk head. the job of this canister is to store fuel vapor from the fuel tank breather (YOU CAN TRACE THE FUEL TANK VENT PIPE, IT GOES UNDER THE CHASSIS TO THE TANK) making it a enclosed system, environmentally friendly. when this opens the engine draws out the fuel vapor that is stored in the canister. 

you can remove these (valve, pipes & canister) and blank off the pipes to the engines throttle body. ive done this and i use a motor bike fuel tank vent valve on the fuel tank breather pipe, this allows the fuel tank to draw in air as the fuel level in the tank drops. 

this does also bring performance gains.

firstly it stops the older saturated canisters (these require replacing) from causing a vacuum in the fuel tank, when this happens the fuel that the fuel pump is trying to deliver to the engine is being sucked back to the tank. next time you fill up see if there is a sucking noise from the fuel cap as its removed. if so the canister is ready to be replaced. 

also the throttle body area is a key area for the inlet system when there are more pipes added it causes air turbulence where these pipes meet, this reduces both peak flow rates and air velocity/speed.    

it really neatens up the engine bay. 

i will put a picture up of the vent valve.

no engine warning light or diagnostic trouble codes are stored. 

the black electrical valve circled in the picture im told is to help the engine when it comes under load from the air con pump, providing a slight increase in rpm at idle when the air con is on. 

im really enjoying your build great work, keep it up. its going to be something special.

Thank you for this information.

I have the Corolla canister that is quite big. What’s your suggestion? Should I remove it and put something smaller? You are suggesting to take the blue valve off and blank off the small hose? I am not in front of the engine right now but if I remember well there are two big hoses that go in the blue Volvo and one small hose that go from it to the canister. Is that correct? your idea is to get rid of them all and put the motorbike tank valve? I would have to buy three of them for the three hoses? Can you send me a picture of the details whenever you have time? Thanks

 

I found two pictures. One shows the valve with the two hoses. They are not three. My apologies. One goes in the valve and one goes to the canister. How should I modify it? should I put the motorbike tank valve straight in the hose coming from the engine?

 

The other picture shows a connector that we cannot figure out. What is it? My friend was talking about bus control     I thought that loose control was the valve with two hoses attached on the turbo air outlet. Can you confirm that?B3C8D479-4054-4370-87CC-A23FB3C80EF8.thumb.jpeg.2ff34988a5b789c5675d3141c7102461.jpeg4BCE9646-E229-4A74-8CB0-7D248D0872E3.thumb.jpeg.5a8d7cb2ec5e9e358d2ec022833c4043.jpegC31A8D41-AB88-4903-A648-F77EB1AF1525.thumb.jpeg.6512da0c1dac8238aaca328bbf22a3f9.jpeg

Here’s the connector I do not know. My friend was talking about boost control. If so then I don’t have the boost control valve. I thought lose control had the connector am showing below and it should be the vacuum on the left side of the engine in front connected to the turbo intercooler air output. A77944F3-924C-4585-8D14-F25EE40CA0E4.thumb.jpeg.497834cae44c69d82e4c5bfd3e0ce503.jpegF9C9E7D2-ABCB-4AC9-8735-52C61A69F3DB.thumb.jpeg.a36b9365bb9826c77fc5a1333d29ceda.jpeg6322BF8C-BB68-4A17-9701-03F828CD7AB9.thumb.jpeg.9e2fb8c1db8bbd95810c973c680b982c.jpegFF382F83-9A9E-4196-8F44-5C48A40AA95A.thumb.jpeg.4e5f25a6ebb30d82bb24c24de3eadd15.jpeg

Sorry about late reply. The 2x pin connector grey in colour and not connected, is for your brake fluid level warning. It goes to your brake master cylinder fluid float. 

Yeh the other valve is the high low boost solenoid. If you don't have the button for the dash to operate this valve then remove it and just run high boost. Other wise you might and will probably just be on low boost (fail safe mode).

yes that is what that plug/pins do. looking great. well done. 

is it running yet??. 

Sorry for the late reply. I am in Sardinia for work and Internet is very. So the engine is running well. We still have to connect the dashboard grounds because the RPM on the dashboard is not stable. There are two ground connections on the ECU that need to be connected properly in order to make the instruments work and avoid the risk to burn the ECU. As soon as I go back we will finish the job. The engine is running well. Of course we just did a first test before I left but we are happy that the mechanics are good and the main electric connections has been connected. We will obviously need to go deeper and step-by-step double check everything on the dashboard and ECU connections. I would love to put the switch on the dashboard to connect from low to high boost. Maybe you can tell me how to connect it?

This is true. I actually remember that every time I open the tank it does that sucking noise! I want to replace it but maybe put a smaller one? Or maybe do as you said with a motorbike tank valve? Where exactly should I connect it?

the pipe that comes from the tank to the charcoal canister is the fuel tank vent pipe. this is the pipe that the vent valve goes onto. make sure the pipe/vent valve sits higher than the fuel tank. this prevents fuel draining threw the vent pipe. 

yeh i can tell you how to connect the boost switch, (or a switch to do the job). 

fantastic job. your going to love it. 

are you going to use a front mounted intercooler?. if not and you are using the standard top mount please make sure you use a sealed vent/bonnet scoop. when i say sealed i mean it needs to seal ontop of the top mount intercooler edges. this is a must do.

So far we cut a bonnet and put a grill bit the seller didn’t send me the plastic IC cover. How do you suggest to seal it? Yes, the plan is to put a front mount IC, but the one you suggested me to buy last year is too high and it won’t fit. I don’t want to cut the front chassis to fit it so I need a different front mount IC solution. I will have to sell the one I bought. In the mean time I need to seal the top mount IC.
