garbla900 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 hi all.right ive had the glanza a while now and i love it to pieces but its time for more power under the bonnet i think. so what i was going to ask your colective mind was: what do i need to get a td04 turbo up and running on my glanza ive uaken a look about lodsa sightr and im getting very different views. do i need a new frout mount intercooler? do i need a metal head gasket? do i need new valve springs and valves? do i need an emange or similar?do i need forged pistons and rods? where do i get them? can i keep my aircon and stock rad? whats better internal or external wartegate?i think thatr about what im needing. but if anyone has a better idea of what i should do next please let me know ar im new to the engine side of modifing in this car.

garbla900 Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 What kina power can u get from the hybrids it might be an option with a couple of other mods. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Callan Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 depends what power you want... im going to prove you dont need to forge and spend thousands to make a rapid Starlet, td04 you dont need to forge or get a better headgasket...or emamageHybrid at 1.3 bar was very quick on my car Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Philm Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 do i need a new frout mount intercooler?NO just a different pipe to mate the turbo to intercooler piping. do i need a metal head gasket? NO standard h/g will take what standard pistons will take no point in upgrading one element of your engine. just run the td04 @1bar do i need new valve springs and valves? NO nonsense.do i need an emange or similar? yes emanage or something that allows adjustment of fuelling, a fuel pressure regulator will crudely do the job, but not for a tidy tune same with bigger injectors but they really are overkill for td04 @1bar.do i need forged pistons and rods? NOwhere do i get them? you dont need themcan i keep my aircon and stock rad? depends what way you go about fitting the td04, for ease of fitment and access to work at a turbo etc or adjust an actuator once the car is up and running id advise to remove the aircon and fit a half size triple core civic rad. whats better internal or external wartegate? external, but hardly neccessary to hold 1bar on a td04, with internal you will have to rotate the turbo and have a bracket made up for the actuator, with external you will also have to rotate the turbo but weld the waste gate shut. one slight plus side to internal w/g is you can adjust the boost by lengthening or shortening the actuator arm, whereas with external w/g you need a boost controller plumbed in to allow any increase on what spring its running.hope that helps with some of the info you've been given.Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BUT it can only hold out so long.hey im not saying there is any reason for this fella to forge, just doubting that you'll prove anything new by running 270 or something mad on a standard engine. its been done and heaps more than that but there is a sad timescale that goes with it, and it isnt terrible long.Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garbla900 Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 thats good i need to know what's what when it come to this. i was planning on 200 pluss brake but that may be further down the line atm is hybrid and front mount a common goi to before getting the plunge to the tdo4 turbo. is the tdo5 a choice or is it laggy? idealy what im wanting is a power house starlet but like i say im not to shur when it comes to big power mods. i know low to mild mods but im not a whole lotta experiance in this field. im now thinking about going down the hybrid and hdi intercooler as i still havent got my finger out and bought a front mount. i have a fuel pressure regulator sitting in the house aswell. is it just a matter of flinging on the front mount the turbo and turning up the fuel pressure. or am i needing to get it maped and so on and so forth?

Philm Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 why not save the money you'd spend on the hybrid and push the ct9 envolope a bit before moving on>?that way you can get some time under your belt, while learning about all the options out there!definitly go frontmount and then take it from there! what all have you got done so far!?Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garbla900 Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 i dident know that it could be puched very far so i thought if i was going for more power id need go thefull hog.ive allready just cleaned up the internals ive got the port polished head and new guides and pistons put to the head. not even painted it yet.other than that its interior and exterior mods except for hks dumpvalve and induction kit. its only a baby done only 52000 miles. when do you need to upgrade the head garket cause i cant find out when the times right as im getting such a different opinionform people.

Philm Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 hey streetracer! didnt realise you was a moderator over here!!but yeah your right a fast ct9 setup can be fun Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garbla900 Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 cool mate sounds good think im gonna go down the hybrid route the now but as im going with that do other things like forgeing the engine so if i choose to go for the td04 (or somthing else its already done and it saves any possible accident like the rods going throught the piston or somthing.
