Dean_mc88 ep82 orange thing

[gnome1]

should split the lamps mate and polish the silver bits inside

[Dean_mc88]

Going to mate this was just a tester from the car I'm breaking the orange one has still I fair bit to go !!

[Dean_mc88]

After realising my rocker cover was from TMD a company owned by , from what I've read , I good fella called dave burwash I thought that his stamp should be on it and a little respect shown by myself. I will admit I never knew who the company was or who he was until I went searching but still I think a little respect should be shown.

I also looked down the spark plug holes because someone said I may be able to see part numbers for a forged engine !!

And

I can't , unfortunately , but still need to take the sump off on Sunday to find out for sure .

The mystery continues

[Dean_mc88]

Probably last update for a while managed to tidy up the wiring eventually next task is to get the apexi safc 2 off and both jam parts .

[StevieGT]

Nice work on the wiring mate, that looked a right mess beforehand!

[Dean_mc88]

Cheers steve

RIGHT THEN EXCITING UPDATE FOR ME !!

Took the sump off and had a good look in and it's beautiful to say the least nice shiny ful of ARP bolts.

Standard interior put in as well and a start on fixing the bumper.

[maddox710]

[Jay85]

Awesome news!! 😏

[Dean_mc88]

Looks like the chance payed off now for some saving and some proper search for power

[Spoon_tuned]

thats great news mate took a chance and it payed off exactly wat i did

[dangeestarlet]

Did this car used to be silver? And a quadlight?

[Dean_mc88]

Yea spoon absolutely made up still.

[Dean_mc88]

So quick update then , the car is nearly ready for it's MOT

Bumper on

New washer jet pump

Rear fog light switch

JAM ECU ( when I get the funds)

[Dean_mc88]

So my jam ecu came and it's on however had a few boost leaks then the turbo gave up.

Now I'm currently working in Singapore and have a gen 1 hks boost controller at home and an uprated fuel pump. Gen one is in mint condition.

Picture of a little beast at work haha rocking little rotas

[jimmymac101]

thats really cool what isit ?

james

[Dean_mc88]

its a SCION something looks ace

[TrisK]

I personally wouldnt go for a JAM ecu with forged engine dude

If you get a larger turbo kit and something mapable (like an emanage) then you will end up with much more power, and a much better driving car

not telling you what to do, just saying what i would do

but looking good bud

[Dean_mc88]

yea mate a lot of people have said that but I fancied going down this route for now see were I end up maybe change my mind once its on the road see what happens.

cheers for your comments though its what the car scenes about

[Dean_mc88]

not meant to be spending on his as im trying to buy a house but managed to get a cheap ct9 so I can replace mine, think mines only blown seals but the car hasn't even seen full boost for months as its been sitting on my drive and only warmed up and then left again to keep her ticking over.

As im still in Singapore for a good while with nothing to do I end up going on ebay and other sites and came across this addition for the boost controller. Ive never seen it before so had a little punt and ended up winning it I think this is going to be it until ive got my house but I will be doing cheap cosmetic bits to keep the build progressing.

Also quick picture of this beast looked ace in person

So I arrived back home and got straight into the starlet , the first job was to get the turbo housing swapped over. Now I was told I had a hybrid but I never really believed it as there was no paper work , however swapping them over it's obvious I do as the housing that was broke has been machined and the new one doesn't fit.

Size difference between old on the right and new standard on the left

[pick1]

Nice work dude keep at it nice find with the engine

[Liam_D]

That's defiantly a hybrid mate, looks like some sort of mitsubishi compressor wheel.

[mikey4410]

cool starlet

[Dean_mc88]

Cheers lads it's coming together slowly.

Cheers Liam I have no history on the engine or turbo so that's handy to know!

Turbos getting machined as soon as , then it will have it's final check over, then MOT just in time for some good weather

[Dean_mc88]

So a bit of a no picture update due to the capped internet at work but, after only being home for four days in the past 2 months, theres been a lot of internet surfing and spending. I keep saying im not going to spend due to saving for a house but the urge to get the starlet running and on the road is taking priority.

I spoke to keith at zisco and got a nice gold/bronze colour fuel rail with braided hoses and rrfpr

I then was speaking to philm who sold me some nice denso 370cc injectors, I then got myself a nice little list of parts to throw on such as :

AEM wideband

civic thick core half rad

id works rad fitting kit

de cat with both holes for temp and lambda

full belt service kit and water pump

dizzy cap service kit

general service kit

And I still have my HKS boost controller and 255 fuel pump to go on along with a few things to tidy the car up.

When I get back to the UK il post some new pics but for now im itching to get home and throw all my bits on to get it ready

I also got a quote for insurance from flux direct of £589 all mods declared everything down to the stickers hahaha happy days

Next on my list will be a bigger turbo, better management and a re spray but this summer I will just enjoy the little beast for now
