i love this starlet. seen it over on ausc and is totallyminted. what i wantmine to looklike almost one day. did the cams and fte rods make a difference? did you have headwork when you fitted the cams also?

considering how far to go with my n/a or just get boost.

anyways lovely motor mate

hey, good to see you over here.

is that power at the wheels?

if so thats the most amount of power ive seen from a 4efe as that would be well over 100 at the fly

I did mild ported and shaved work on the head. 4efte rods are there because my rpm limiter has been raised to 7200rpm. The cams did make the difference with tuning to aftermarket standalone ECU (at the expense of stalling all the time with a/c turn on)

The UK weather might not be friendly to my specs :lol: In Aussie winter (7 degrees coldest), I am having problem starting it and stalling with a/c

v nice mate did the 4efte inlet manifold and tb make much difference im thinking off putting one on

I'm using 4efte intake manifold only with my stock 4efe tb. I have been trying to search 4efte AUTO tb to fit into my car.

As for 4efte intake manifold, there are noticable gains, but that's because I have move my limiter to 7200rpm.

would the specs of your cams work as well on a 4efte?

also what does that power equate to at the fly?

IMO, the specs should be OK. but the builder of the cam had to reduce the lift slightly for the needed duration after asking if my car is turbo/NA

I don't have the exact calculation of power at the fly. Aussie dyno only measure wheel hp. But from the rough calculation:

2/3 --> 86.4

1 --> (86.4/0.6666)

roughly = 130bhp (could be less; not sure the exact calculation)

Recently added a solenoid to the car that turns on when the a/c is turn on.

What the solenoid does is sucking air from "before TB" and pushing it into "after TB"

This helps a bit from stalling when a/c is on.

Currently the car revs at 1260 RPM without a/c, lights, heater. When a/c and lights are turn on, it drops to about 850-900 RPM which is just the point before it stalls.
