carltonglanza Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Hi guys I'm new here just got 99 glanza on Saturday. I'm wanting to tune obviously as it's bog standard, I've done a bit of reading regarding tuning the car stock and hybrid td turbo. I plan to shed a little weight well the car not me lol. What sort of mods do I need to keep up with my mates s2000?,could a stock turbo tuned be enough so circa 200bhp? The s2000 has a few bolt on mods so circa 260bhp. He's such a smug git in his yellow one. Or will I only keep upto x mph? Anyone had ago against an s2000? He's says me glanza is a micra on roids and has ram raided halfords and all the bits have been left attached. Cheers Quote
daz gt turbz Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 welcome along mate, have a read here http://www.ukstarletclub.com/forums/index....2&hl=200bhp Quote
ryan lang Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 welcome along mate, have a read here http://www.ukstarletclub.com/forums/index....2&hl=200bhp how long have you had this on copy ready to paste daz loland i doubt you'd need 260bhp to do an s2000could probs do that about 220bhp i thinks?but for that you'd need to update to a hybrid Quote
carltonglanza Posted August 16, 2011 Author Posted August 16, 2011 Thanks guys, I've been in the s2000 and it doesn't feel quick but gets upto speed quickly. It's just friendly banter between me and my mate, we're always taken the piss out of each other, I said it must run on v05 or head and shoulders lol.Still early days don't get me wrong my V is quick but there's a lot of potential im reading. Feels a little floaty at high speeds. Quote
daz gt turbz Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 how long have you had this on copy ready to paste daz lolyou have no idea!! Quote
shorty Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 coilovers, panhard rod, anti lift kit, and poly bushed engine mounts will sort the floaty feel mate will be much more planted then Quote
_shaun_ Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 ive played around with some s2000s from the lights they they cant keep up with me but am running a td04@1.2bar ive got fair amout of handling mods but if its a good driver behind the wheel of the s2000 your gonna struggle to keep ahead in the corners so make sure if u wanna shut him up id take him the on the motorway rather than the windy country roads Quote
carltonglanza Posted August 16, 2011 Author Posted August 16, 2011 Thanks for input Shaun, how much bhp are you running? I don't think s2000 are quick of the line my mate says it's difficult to drive fast but when driven well its good. Lois like a hybrid for me, and thanks to shorty for above about handling mods. Quote
_shaun_ Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 not totaly sure tbh not had chance to get it on the rollers will be 220+ at a safe guess before this i had 5 civics and a crx and most of the "sporty" hondas are great handling cars for the corners. vtec is fun but its nowere close to a bit of boost imo. if your going down the power route make sure u do do some handling mods aswell most people jump right in with the higher boost thinking there gonna be quiker but the starlet isnt the best handling car to start with so whacking more power doesnt help.2 things ull notice a massive diffrence with is a rear anti roll bar and anti lift kit.

carltonglanza Posted August 16, 2011 Author Posted August 16, 2011 Cool, what do they weigh standard is it 850KG so if i do some weight saving mods 800KG (back seats out, aftermarket bolt ons etc)Cheers Quote
_shaun_ Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 iirc the glanza comes in at 920kgs. but theres a fair bit of weight to be lost in the cars time u chuck out rear seats air con and crap like that Quote
carltonglanza Posted August 16, 2011 Author Posted August 16, 2011 Think I'm just going to do the suspension mods first and take my time as you say, no point just adding shit loads of power then not being able to handle/corner.Got to beat me mate though haha. Quote
_shaun_ Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 yea theres loads of threads on here to guide u on what route to take with power as theres quite a few options. dont think it will take much to beat your mate tbh pretty sure the poverty spec s2000 is 1250+kgs Quote
carltonglanza Posted August 16, 2011 Author Posted August 16, 2011 What is the poverty spec?1250kg isnt really that heavy compared to a lot of cars i guess.So 220BHP should do it you think?Chers Quote
_shaun_ Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 What is the poverty spec?1250kg isnt really that heavy compared to a lot of cars i guess.So 220BHP should do it you think?Cherslike the very basic spec with no extras at all normaly the lightest due to have no add ons 220 should be plenty i reakon Quote
bucketep91 Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 i remember streetracer_starlets hybrid ep91 sleeper humping wullies s2k all the way to hypertec ,where it only made 185ish bhp on the rollers Quote
lew777 Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 mines 167bhp and would piss all over a s2000 Quote
carltonglanza Posted August 16, 2011 Author Posted August 16, 2011 Cool, 167bhp is that all?!?Maybe i should follow that guide first on stock turbo.bucketep1, what do you mean what is this wullie? 185 @fly? you mean it beat it by a large margin? Quote
Amjad Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 200bhp should be enough using the stock CT9 turbo I've got about 170-180ish bhp and for eg I've seen off:-EP3 CTR-RX7 TT-Audi S3 MK1I'd highly recommend upgrading suspension and brakes as you go along, the stock items are rubbish!by the way welcome along Quote
Socks Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 follow the guide daz posted up chap, as amjad said, brakes and suspension along the way too!i wouldnt bother with a hybrid... the cost involved, it would be cheaper to go TD04 then ud get more power and torque anyways and not much more lag, only ones that bang on bout lag is the people that havent got a td04 Quote
ash bash Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Think I'm just going to do the suspension mods first and take my time as you say, no point just adding shit loads of power then not being able to handle/corner.Got to beat me mate though haha. well the starlets are drag slags i only had frnt mount intercooler and air filter coming from grill and i was beatin celica gt4s great fun now I've had engine forged still running standard turbo n ecu and running in so borin Quote
Guest Enzo Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 hey dude welcome, ul take him at a bar no problem if hes standard.if he has 260 hel have the legs slightly.220bhp will defo take him outin regards to handling whiteline is your friend,read this arcticle, its based on the 82 but its exatly the same chassis wise as the 91 it the article on the bottom lefthttp://www.ukstarletclub.com/mag1.html Quote
