ash007 Posted October 8, 2007 Author Share Posted October 8, 2007 hi there i'm looking for the gt turbo, just out of interest how much BHP are they standard, and links of info i can find out about the pro's and con's on them? any pics or ideas you can sugest for modded first before the big stuff comes.cheers ash Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Enzo Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 im releasing an info site soon for the answer to all your questions but they come with 133bhp standard and can crack to sixty in 6.9 seconds onto 120plus.first off its advisalbe to sort out the handling with a rear anti roll bar and anti lift kit, then what direction you want to go all depends on what you want to do.toy tuning on this site is the place for parts, the largest selection in one place, have a look at the forum shop.any more questions just ask Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ash007 Posted October 9, 2007 Author Share Posted October 9, 2007 cheers for that, i been having a look, looks internesting, wat does the (ep91) starlet 1.3i (4efe) mean in the brackets, not really to sure, so when i go and look at one, wat are the main areas i need to focus on, bar the obvise, engine, tyres, brakes ect? how can i tell if there turbo is any good, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Enzo Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 4efe is the naturaly aspirated version 1.3 4efte is the turbo version denoted by the tthe gt turbos are known as the ep82 and the newer glanza v with the same chasis and running gear is denoted as the ep91.you should be aiming to find an ep82 turbo imported with as many parts as possible as this saves out on alot of hastle when it comes to modding.thats what id do anyway.

Guest Enzo Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 they can handle alot of abuse and are very robust but you need to look out for the obivus signs.when you go you should concentraite one seing if it has been wel maintaned or not.the obvius things like if all panel gaps are striaght and true, if there is any smoke on idle etctheres nothing to watch out for realy to be honest its like bying any decent reliable car. you just need to make sure its not been neglected.dont be put off by a well modified example as it will save you a heap of cash when tuning Quote Link to post Share on other sites
