Zombie Behind The Wheel Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I've got a standard N/A Starlet (ep91) and i've seen a lot of talk about swapping the intake manifold with one from a bug eye corolla.When looking for one, I found a manifold from a 4efte engine. I hear the 4efte manifold is even better for a n/a engine, but I haven't seen it mentioned in discussions about the corolla mani.I'm just looking for people's opinions on them, I'm probably going to get the 4efte mani and i'm just looking for confirmation its the right choice.I will be using the standard throttle body already in my car for now.

raffa_mk Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I firstly had the corolla one and thought yep this is good, low and mid gains so good for local runs, had used standard tb on it too.Then moved up to Glanza inlet an tb and noticed a better performance normally notice difference from 4k and gives a little kick about 5k,Since driving on motorway Glanza one flys by without a doubt after 80mph Corolla struggled up 2 100 but Glanza will easily be happy at 115 average.Never look back now :@ one of the best upgrades u can do, fuel economy will suffer a little but u will have more fun and shift those first 2 gears more quickly Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It needs a good scrubbing before it goes near my car first. Can't wait to see what effect it has. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
