beatz Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 not sure on the power differences as standard but i do its capable of getting a 1.5 turbo upto 330bhp, you can do the same with the 1.3 turbo also.Alot of people prefer the 1.3 turbo as its better bottom end to the 1.5.

ecksjay Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 its out of the Starlet GT as well mate, they had a 1.3 turbo and a 1.5 turbo. Any reason to upgrade the engine size?do you have any idea what you're talking about? bahaha...there was ONLY the 1332cc 4E-FTE in turbocharged form.There's not really an engine that'll drop right in to replace it, but there is a way to 'hybrid' the standard 1.3 engine which will turn it into a 1.5 litre engine, the engine in question would come from a cynos/paseo, and is a naturally aspirated (non-turbo) 5E-FHE (this is the one to go for anyway, the normal FE is less sought after).It's not particularly difficult, but there's still alot of work involved to create the conversion, and even then you're still able to get well over 300bhp out of the stock 1.3 so there's not much need for a 5E unless you've pushed your 4E to the limits.beatz, please read up on things before commenting. ;)nick, if you want more power from your 4E then search on here or tgtt on how to extract the extra power from it.what mods do you have at the moment? the 4E can be an absolute monster if you know what you're doing.

nick gt turbo Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 k will probly stick with the 1.3. seems to shock people when you tell them its only a 1.3 lol! never seem to hear of the 1.5. does anyone on the forum have one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ecksjay Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 there's a few matey, but its the sort of conversion used for big setups, unless you've pushed your 4E to the limits then you wouldn't normally consider it.Where are you at mod wise at the moment? i presume 250bhp+ if you're looking into having more and calling your current setup 'insane'...

beatz Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 to be honest i wasent 100% sure if the 1.5 was turbo'd, was just checking TGTT as was speak and after i had posted. To be honest as well theres no need for your attitude dickhead, did i go into great details on the 1.5? No ... i simply suggested there was a bigger engine that he could put into.

sl8ter & jett Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 over 300bhp on my we 1.3 beasty tell me more please ;) and how much would this cost me ? also how much bhp dose a standerd glanza have ?thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

beatz Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 300bhp on a 1.3 turbo mate is hard work to get, most users upgrade to the 1.5 engine as its more achieveable to get than the 1.3, standard glanza has 120bhp.Cost involved would be alot ... theres a guy breaking his 1.5 engine just now on TGTT and its adding upto roughly just under £10,000, bearing in mind hes used these parts so selling them cheaper. Alot of money involved to get near that figure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nick gt turbo Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 i think that a standard glanza is about 135bhp. when its new that is? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sl8ter & jett Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 the guy i bought it of said mine was 155bhp on high boost but i didnt care what boost it was because i liked so much Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ecksjay Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 they dont have insurance groups, they're imports. just comparisons, and most insurance companies make it up anyways.The attitude was there because you're confidently giving out completely incorrect information, he could've spent ages trawling through breakers looking for a 1.5 Turbo when no such engine exists for the starbo, no need to start cussing when you were clearly in the wrong also, 300bhp would require a full forged engine build, but 220-250bhp is possible on stock internals providing its setup correctly and tuned by a professional to make sure everything is running ok.What are your mods nick? we can tell you whether you're at 200bhp or not (if you're on the stock turbo/manifold, it wont be anywhere near ;)).Let us know what you've got at the moment and we can recommend on which progression route to take.sl8ter & jett, feel free to add me to msn etc and i can explain how you can reach those sorts of figures.
