Joshua.J Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Hi guys, right after nearly a year of finding a perfect glanza v/starlet GT i found one! its a 1999 glanza v on 128km with the help of a lad on here RusselH who checked the car out for me which was located in glasgow, with the all clear from him i headed up saturday and collected it and couldnt stop smiling all the way home.Now its perfect bar the alloys which need respraying and a few niggly things, but when accelarating past 5krpm i get a loud squeel from the engine bay, I've checked the manifold for cracks but cant see anything dont no what else it could be?Also im wanting to start modding soon just wondering if theres a list or topic on here for advice on going TD04 route? seems the car has a few mods as its de-limited but dont no what mods ha! all i can see is exhaust,dumpvalve. As well as not knowing what the alloys are all they say on them is JWL VIA 500KG?Any advice will be great and on my day of when its clean i will put some pics up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 ahh i was gonna text u tomorrow to see if u got this lol. glad it went well. im unsure about the squeel tho. is it like a belt kinda squeel ? if you were to post a video up someone would no doubt be able to help. apart from that u happy with it ?

N80Jamie Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Dude the squeel could also be shit gaskets on either manifold,turbo,downpipe? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bucketep91 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 ahh so you baught it then? nice 1 dudei doubt it would be the alternator belt if its only making noise after 5k, check the manifold/decat etc and also check the head isnt cracked at the top right of the manifold its a weak spot on 4e heads mines cracked there and so have many others.get some pics up also Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 i wanna see it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joshua.J Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 Haha cheers for the reply guys, RussleH its perfect and i love it few little things that need changing but runs sweet! starbuck feel free to come down mate and yes its white lol.Going to get some pics up tomoz when its clean or maybe the weekend as im getting the alloys sprayed candy red as for this squeel it doesnt sound belt squeel more like a high pitch squeel. I checked the manifold and the gaskets did look crap but i didnt check the head. Does it cost a lot if it is the head? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
200bhp starlet Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 sounds nice mate hurry up with pics dirty or not Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bucketep91 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 im not saying it is a crack in the head, just saying it could be. u can either get it welded up or replace the head. either way its a head off job Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joshua.J Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 Thats another thing I've noticed, loud tapping noise from the head that normal or something lose? dont sound like tappets, sounds louder and gets louder when warm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bucketep91 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 maybe the icv clicking mate thats quite loud Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joshua.J Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 Well gona go down garage tomoz to get it all inspected to check everything is okay see what they find. Should have pics up tomoz haha! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Liam_D Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Sounds interesting dude! Get some pictures up! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joshua.J Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 I dont think there is a colour thats not done to death ;) atm its got black alloys which i dont no what they are haha. But the guy is spraying them with a gold undercoat.Its hard to explain dont sound bad just a loud tapping noise once warm, and the squeel noise. Also is there a guide on here that shows the stages needed to go TD04? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 http://www.ukstarletclub.com/forums/index....226&hl=td04the one with closest to a list i could find. basically a td04 turbo, mani , downpipe oil lineswater linesfuel pressure regulator fuel pump injectors engine management filter relocation front mount intercooler depending on turbo kit you may need a half sized radiator for the td04 but alot of kits are made to suit the standard rad.
