Glanza_cl Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 same set up as mine (hdi fmic, sps mani and decat) will make a super nice difference Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlackRocket Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 Cheers folks - its taken a while and has been really annoying that i've had bits sat about and wasn't able to fit them but it will all be worth it in the end!Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlackRocket Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 Right i've been doing some reading and I hope people will be able to give me some advice/ reassure me here!When i've fitted everything above in this thread will I experience boost creep?I have the HKS Actuator set at 0.8 bar at the moment and the electronic boost controller (Blitz DSBC) set to the same for a safe level.Should I wind down the boost on the actuator for now whilst I "Run In" the new set up?I don't want to eat the seals on the turbo or anything!Any advice would be appreciated and rep will be added ThanksSteve Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BlackRocket Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 Firstly - Sorry to the mods for dredging this thread from the depths! lol!Secondly - Due to being SOOOOO busy with work etc I haven't updated this (or indeed been on here) for agesThirdly - There are now some new parts to add to this thread - Meister R Zeta R Coilovers, EBC Brakes, Braded Brake Lines and 5.1 fluid plus the usual service bits/ belts.The wheels have changed to a set of OE Speedlines (altho I still have the ATEC's)and FINALLY... I have a new car now so will be, very sadly, parting with the Starlet soon Basically I got some new responsibilities with work which involved me having to travel quite a bit so the mileage & costs on the Starlet were creeping up. I did the maths and it basically added up to me needing Diesel in my life again so I have just bought an 08 Civic Type S GT 2.2.I'm going to clean the Starlet and give it a last coat of Meg's before putting pics and a proper For Sale thread.I'm gutted but just can't keep 2 cars Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
