5T4R7ET N/A Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 100 bhp has already been done long ago by someone on here, from europe i think. Ill try find his build thread. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 To be honest, the best thing to do with a n/a is spend the money on getting a serious system set-up! Then just add a exhaust/filter corolla mani. And they are pretty fun. If you have the money to throw at tuning a n/a seiously then do it. But it will be very expensive for very little gains. Trust me i tried with my old green one and made like 9BHP lol. Decent brake set-up, Good suspension set-up, few minor engine tweeks = N/A Fun! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nastyrash 2003 Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 show me i belive joel has hit this target also but not checked his build will do it now. remember a mid ninties gti was pushing 115hp out a 2ltr so a 100+hp 1.3 is very good indeed.chrisand im not promoting street racing in my eyes this is not big or clever, but to have som fun with other cars that should leave u standing is wat floats my boat. other thn this i do track sessions. street racing is not good and u aint a big man for doing it. its all about the track nothing quite beats it.

raffa_mk Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 these n/a are fab little cars with good fuel economy...i have had a few mods put onto the car and love every single one.. it's a learning curve and you get to understand what consequences are having put on different mods and how it affects the car and what you want to achieve at the end result of it and if you don't like it then change it.so if hurley wants help on getting more power we should help him out and see what he wants to achieve from it. yes you may get less fuel economy etc but that's what happens when you chase power gains.I have had these fitted for performance:glanza inlet manifold + TBcorolla injectorscorolla exhuast mani 4-2-1 setupsports high flow cat with 2.5" cat back with 4" jap can heat wrappedand love them all because of my driving style and what i use my car forn/a Powwwwaaaaa bring on RR 25th Quote Link to post Share on other sites

series70boy Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 i dont know why everyones arguing. chillsome people can afford turbos some cant.some have big bucks to spend on insurnace some have enough coin to push a little more out of their n/a.we dont all have the wisdom of experiance, but we dont get wise without trying new things.let us young ones be. if i have learnt anything in my 1year and 2weeks on here, it that the fun of a starlet is buying an n/a first tweeking it as much as possible, maybe throwing too much money at it and then either converting it or upgrading.may my peace be with you alljames Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hou Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I Think everyone has their wires crossed. We are not telling you to not throw money at a starlet, we are trying to advise you that the best thing to be spending on is handling and braking mods before touching power Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nastyrash 2003 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 micky good find this set up exept ecu is wat im aiming to do to ryans car + a 1:1 fuel reg and my own ram air system short reach. look how his hp does not teater off near the top end think we need to up the red line to get even more, i would say thr is more up thr. which means big work. lov how smooth this is showing how everything he has set up is in tune. lov it gutted this is wat i was aiming for.chrisdid not expect that kind of power thw was hoping for around 115hp, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dan507 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Bored of n/a power also. Neeeeeddddddd boooooossstttt!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Craig_N Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Thats my graph when i first had the S rolling road all i had was advanced timing,cat-back and k&n air filter but had the car serviced like 3 days before. However i lost power the second time i had it rolling roaded but i never serviced it before or i might have just lost the power Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shorty Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 n/a tuning is the perfect starting base! i miss the days of my 1330cc mini, was an animal and hard to keep with upto around 80mph, the 0-60 was nuts and the tourque steer kept you on your toes. i agree with the other older lads in as far as tuning start with brakes and handaling, then find the power, but for a young lad/girl na starlets arnt a shy car and very nippy! but being another one of the over 10years of tuning cars id like to say you only learn by trying and all i had when i started was a 998cc mini and i ended up with a race tuned hectic mini, all still na! boost comes to thoese with deep pockets or age, na shouldnt be over lokked by anone and tuning potential is there it just needs to be done right.
