aquascrotum Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Just a quick query - I have a EP91 Sportif that I use for navigation rallies...she's running sweet as a nut but we're trying to eek out a few bhp without going to too much expense (already fitted bugeye corolla inlet manifold).I'm eyeing the exhaust and inlet and was wondering was the standard SR exhaust (described as "sports exhaust" in the official starlet merchandising guff afaik) much of a performance upgrade on the standard Sportif peashooter? What are my alternatives in terms of getting a bit more poke and a little bit of an exhaust note? Do standard glanza exhausts fit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bluebear Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Afaik, all the TTE SR exhaust was, was just a backbox, and not a full system. I may be wrong however. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 correct, back box only.glanza exhausts have different hangers, but someone handy with a welder could sort that.a back box on its own isn't really gonna help dude, perhaps a full s/s system from the likes of PowerFlow in Ballymena would be the way forward, or from Custom Pipes in Newtonabbey.for an all round solid upgrade that may give 2 or 3 bhp i'd recommend good sparks and leads (NGK and Magnecor), a K&N Panel filter (esp combined with your rolla manifold), a full s/s exhaust system and an earthing kit wouldnt go a miss either if you're lookin to keep things relatively cheap and simple and retain the stock 4efe.Phil.

LukeSR Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Glanza exhausts have the same hangers don't they? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 well i had to have an N/A exhaust modified to fit my glanza back bumper, and then when the HKS Glanza exhaust was fitted it didnt line up in the centre section as my car is originally a UK N/a.Phil.

aquascrotum Posted November 23, 2010 Author Share Posted November 23, 2010 Cheers for the replies folks.Are there any off the peg n/a exhaust upgrades? What can I expect to pay for one, or do they come up regularly 2nd hand? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jozinobi Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 There are the Blitz realize systems and also 2nd hand systems from yahoo auctions japan.An uprated exhaust manifold will also unleash a little more power and change the power band of your car.My old Fujitsubo Legalis R n/a systemLeft - OBX 5EFE 4-2-1 manifold (eBay) Right - Hotshot 4-1 manifold (Very rare, made in USA and discontinued)Joz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aquascrotum Posted November 23, 2010 Author Share Posted November 23, 2010 There are the Blitz realize systems and also 2nd hand systems from yahoo auctions japan. Those Blitz systems are worth about twice the value of my car!...So is the moral of the story that there are no Toyota OEM exhaust performance upgrades for the basic na cars, without going for 3rd party merchandise?

Jozinobi Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 You are quite right Even if there was a full system available (4EFTE engine has TRD exhausts available) it be probably more than the Blitz Realize.Most top parts often cost left nuts but so worth it if you love your project.Joz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jozinobi Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 The standard 5EFE Paseo exhaust/manifold is exactly the same size as the starlet one bar some different mounting positions as it is a different car underneath. The 5EFE engine block is 10mm taller however the difference it makes to manifold fitment is minimal.The uprated OBX mainfold is 2" and it will fit the engine side of your starlet but not the exhaust side as it is 2", however it can easily be made to fit with either tapered welding or getting a full 2" system to mate it to, like my old Fujitsubo system. The downpipe which comes with it does not line up directly in the standard postion but a skilled exhaust fabricator will be able to re-route it for you if you decide to get a new exhaust, the actual manifold flange will also need a little shaving to clear the power steering pump.Any more Q's don't hesitate to ask, its what we are here for These cars are all about modification so its nothing new.Joz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
