Ramsey Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Rite, writing up a build thread has been on the cards 4 a while…. Well a year lol just never got round to it till now, so hear goesBought my 96 Glanza V roughly a year ago now, ive had loads ov cars and this 1 has got 2 be the best 1 so far, I don’t usualy keep them long and its looking like ill have my we V 4 many years to come!This is how it looked when I bought itIt had a few mods,15” ROTA slip’s5 Zegin exhaustTRD lowering kitMOMO steeering wheelHKS 60mm boost gaugeDump valveBoost upped tp 0.8 barI ran about in it 4 a few months, but I couldn’t handle the seriously slowness, so I started moddingFirst came a set of D2 coilovers to get her a bit lowerBeing new to the starlet scene I went and bought sh*teAutobahn FMICSpeedvision stainless manifold and decatI had these bits lying around 4 untill I chose witch turbo to go 4, decided on a GT-Spec hybrid from tong turbos anlong with a HKS actuatorSo once I took delivery of the hybrid, I started fitting all the new parts over my Xmas holidays. also gave the underside and wheel arches a thick layer of waxoil when the exhaust and suspention was off!Nearly ready 4 the roadFitted a cheeeky fordge MBCOh and also fitted a sard FPR set it at 2.5bar and .8bar ov boost to be safe and took it 4 a blast, I was very impresed with the gt-spec hybrid pulled very well with such low boost!Few pics after a washAfter a few days of .8bar, turned it up 2 a bar using a greddy bcc. Realy made a big difrance and woz happy with that 4 a while!Fitted a TRD short shiftAfter a few months my manifold cracked! So started ripping it apart again!!!And fitted RR manifold and Decat, I thought why not get a beter FMIC at the same time, and a new radiator as mine woz leaking (alloy 1 was much cheeper than origonal toyota)After all this she deserved a full velet!Fitted these integra dc2 recaro seatsAfter a while I relized these are to good 4 a track car so sold them and put these inChanged from TRD shifter, 2 C’s shifter (in my opinion is much beter)Rite im going to miss out some progress for now, recently fitted a jam ecu and ran 1.2 bar and it woz wikid So a couple ov weeks later a mate wanted 2 buy may set up…… im here again lolBought this a few months eriler so I can take my time with the glanza and still hav a nice drive oh and 50mpg and all the gagets u would ever want lolLooked terable so changed it in 2 thisGot a smaller spoiler, but its not yet fitted due 2 my painter a fanny and droping it after painting it! And never getting round to redoing it!Back to glanzaMy mate mate needed a new head so went halferz on an engine from fishygt with a fucked botom end so I could use the botom end for a forgie!New parts have been flooding in …….Picked this wee fuker up 4 30 quid, wouldn’t realy buy sumthing like this but it woz cheepCheep and cheerfull, canny go wrongWos after a egt gauge and noticed this, boost gauge and egt in1, so I thot y not treat myself and 100quid new woz a bargin?Wideband bungTurbo smart external wastgate and MBCAnother omori gaugeAnd an adaptor 2 suitFew gaskets ill be needingGot this ported and polished head on the way from steve! To go on my to be forged blockIm now skint lol, once I get my other glanza sold ill have sum more 2 spend.

WallaceGlanza Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Looks good mate some similar bits to mine, love the max power breather filter! :lol: One thing though, why have you heat wrapped the intercooler piping from the turbo? The heat keeps the heat in the material rather than out of it, you should use reflective tape to keep the heat out of it.I want to see the next stages of this and the other donor glanza.
