leemillin Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Hi guys, I have a silver n/a starlet and also have a gt but been thinking on makein the silver n/a turbo. just want to see what people think Quote
deebo Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Id just beef ip the gt and keep the n/a as is. Depending on whay kit you would want may require some other costly stuff like forged engine and upgrading all the feuling stuff. With that monies the gt could be made into a monster! Or have to monstera and have the choice of whitch one to drive haha Quote
mikey4410 Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 got my sportif sorted handling wise and tracked it after owning it for 6 months. did amazingly well on trackday with 70 bhp and surprised alot of more powerfull cars. after this decided it was right to turbo it. HUGE AMOUNT OF WORK,but best thing i ever did on it. trackday again soon ,with another 130 bhp. should be interesting.............................. Quote
leemillin Posted October 6, 2013 Author Posted October 6, 2013 the gt needs bodywork and the silver one just need that engine swapped over. the n/a with the turbo will be a monster aswell Quote
leemillin Posted October 6, 2013 Author Posted October 6, 2013 what turbo did u use on your n/a buddy? Quote
mikey4410 Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 td04 mate.standard turbos not for me and neither is a hybrid. Quote
leemillin Posted October 6, 2013 Author Posted October 6, 2013 oh i got the ct9 turbo at the mo, just want to be boosting tbh Quote
RobSR Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 swapping the engine and loom is pretty easy. if the gt needs alot of work and the engine is sound, just drop that in the n/a. Quote
RobSR Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Turbo the n/a then. Swap the engine/box/hubs/shafts and brakes (mornings work) then splice the gt loom into the n/a and swap the gt ecu in. Bosh. Happy boosting Quote
leemillin Posted October 6, 2013 Author Posted October 6, 2013 tbh, i dont know what am doing so i'll be getting trd to do the work for me Quote
leemillin Posted October 6, 2013 Author Posted October 6, 2013 so do people think i should get it done or not? Quote
deebo Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 From what ive just read mate id do it. Theres loads to do with conversions and stuff on here, a few days reading and you would be clued up on how to do it all yourself i reckon. But if your not keen then take it to them.Just make sure you take pictures of their work so we get to see it too :-D Quote
RobSR Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Like said its all pretty basically mechanically, just take your time and it'll be fine. Quote
leemillin Posted October 20, 2013 Author Posted October 20, 2013 do i turbo my na or do the gt up? i have a gt want needs handbrake cable, speedo convertor, needs tax and mot, bodywork. Then i got the ep91 na want its running fine, just needs the little bits of bodywork. If u was in my shoes what u do Quote
jimmymac101 Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 If I was in your shoes id strip the NA back and break the GT and put it all into the NA, your need the loom and all to get it running but being you have it all happy day James Quote
leemillin Posted October 20, 2013 Author Posted October 20, 2013 so you think i should do a swap mate? Quote
jimmymac101 Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 We as a forum can only advise you mate we can't make that choice for you ............... If your not doing it yourself you need to seriously think isit worth me paying someone to strip down two cars, remove two engines do a compete wiring loom change ect ect James Quote
RobSR Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Think everybody has already said yes lol. Quote
leemillin Posted October 20, 2013 Author Posted October 20, 2013 yeah i know what your sayin mate. its just the bodywork and the other bits on the gt what needs doing really, i do like my na but i just dont want any problems really. with me doing the swap i feel like i will have problems. am just going to see what people say in the next couple of days, hopefully it will help me make my mind up Quote
jimmymac101 Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Pm people who have been here ........... Rob bower ........ RobSR ................ There are many people who have been through this, just flick through the build threads and see what you can find James Quote
TomStarlet Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 i would definitely do it mate, somewhere down the line i would love to buy a gt donor car and drop the whole lot in with loom etc like has been said, there is more than enough threads, wording and pictures to give yourself a good outline of whats needed and the outcome...go for it mate!

Chief Quimby Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 http://bil2.webgallerier.dk/album/fuldskaerm/339/1691445-revnet-manifold Did it on my old engine, didnt do anything, just installed the turbo kit from 4efte.Ran o,5 bar. Installed the injectors from 4efte and used a mapconverter(40 pounds) to tune it with. Quote
Chris Green Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 JayStar77 has a turbo'd 4e-fe, think he said it's been fine for about 2 years. Ran on low boost of course. Quote
littlegreenmonster Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 So you did nothing to it apart from oil feed and injectors ??? And a map converter ?? WTH is that ?? Quote
