PaulStarletSR Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Hi guys as you can tel by the name I've got a starlet sr and im wonderin if the corolla manifolds on here would fit my starlet and if so what benefit wud it have?plz b as accurate as you can guys because im dyin to squeeze as much power out the n/a engine as possible before(whispers so it duznt hear me lol)i go for the 4efte conversion!lolmany thanxin advancepaul Quote
Kennedy Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Yes mate it does fit..a few people on here have done it to the N/AsI belive there is a performance gain from doing it, i dont know how much of a gain it will give though as ive not done it Quote
Asad Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Yup, made the car so much more driveable cruising on the motorway pulls really well and accelerates hard.Best engine mod ive done with the K+N panel filter at second Quote
Guest Enzo Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 its a straight bolt on mate,it does have better flow properties over the standard fe manifold,you will notice that the car will rev alot more easily and will find youself bouncing off the limiter more,it also drasticaly changes the induction note. i have two for sale in my shop if your interested in any.

Galliano Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 I noticed whilst just passenger in Bluebears Starlet, that it pulls well off the mark. And gives the car a cute little whine too, unless thats Nicks standardness Quote
PaulStarletSR Posted October 29, 2009 Author Posted October 29, 2009 thanx alot guys!is it the exhaust manifold or inlet manifold?because i heard that the inlet manifold from the corolla fits(if thats not what wer already talkin about lol)ps.im getin my digi cam out the cupboard and gona take sum pix of ma pride n joy Sr il post them early nxt week!sum people may not like my speedlines....hehehe Quote

Asad Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Straight on and off.....only thing which is different is the bottom bracket (can be thrown away = weight saving ftw) and the earth wire which needs to be bored out and bolted on.....no leaks, if your gasket breaks when taking the old mani off just use a light film of instant gasket as both surfaces wont be true (dont use the white crusty one if you put too much on it will break off and enter the engine) Quote

Quote
Asad Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 What it is the earth lead has a hole for a 10mm bolt but the corolla mani accomodates a 12mm so the earth lead has to be bored out abit with a file and bolted on with a 12mm bolt....yup all stock air stuff goes back on Quote
Bluebear Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Try and get the top bracing from the rolla engine if you can. I put one on in place of the old one, as to be honest, it's silly to leave the mani completely unbraced, and the one that comes with the starlet doesnt match up.And Sam, you're the first person to say 'cute little whine' Asad, I kinda broke my earth lead doing that, the contacts snapped, so i just jammed in it between the bolt head and the brace and tightened it up Should still be alright, yeah?

Asad Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Yeah i put the top bracket on, mine makes a cool noise on the motor way wouldn`t say its cute though BB aslong as the surface was rust free and its still "trapped" under there should be fine, check it from time to time though.You just need to bore that hole the bracket can be re-used Quote

Amjad Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 but in doing all this dso we then not start to mess about with throttle cables etc?Just make sure you get the little ruber bit that hold the throttle cable when you buy the corolla mani, and its all good Quote
PaulStarletSR Posted October 30, 2009 Author Posted October 30, 2009 Just make sure you get the little ruber bit that hold the throttle cable when you buy the corolla mani, and its all good will the starlet 1 no fit it? Quote
Asad Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 Not sure whats gone on with what hes said.....in my opinion its 100% changed the car for the better i`d never change it back to standard.Nope^ it wont....all you need isrolla manitop bracenick a few nuts incase you lose somethe rubber bungy thing for the throttle cable to sit on clean + spray it if you want Quote
PaulStarletSR Posted October 30, 2009 Author Posted October 30, 2009 ok!cheers mate!nice to b on a forum wer people r helpful n not ignorant!cant wait to post pix to c what you guys think of ma ride!who has the manifolds for sale with the rubber bits 2? Quote
Amjad Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 One more thing you need is a longer vaccum hose..one of the original hoses is too short (if I remember correctly its the one that goes from the Map Sensor to the inlet manifold)..A windscreen washer hose should be the right size, and you can cut it to length because they're really long! That's what I did anyway!Oh and once you've got it fitted, unplug your ECU (its hidden behind the glovebox) for 10-15 mins then plug it back in, let it idle until the engine runs smooth then enjoy!

PaulStarletSR Posted October 30, 2009 Author Posted October 30, 2009 cheers mate!very helpful,however dont hav a donor car,wil b buyin the part from here thats y am hopin sum body wil hav everythin a need!wots the gain in bhp on this manifold change boys? Quote
