Dansstarlet1996 Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 aha fair enough, I've heard about doing that, think it helps it rev faster or something? someone will correct me if im wrong Quote

*Pete* Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Advancing makes top end power better, retarding gives more torque lower in the revs. within certain parameters, basically a trade off for what you want Quote

Pikey009 Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) How hard was it to fit the Corolla mani? I'm pretty compitant but just wondered if there are any 'need to knows'? Heard there's a bit of hose that isn't long enough or something. Managed to bag myself an inlet tonight on eBay. Also, I know this sounds daft but mine felt really 'laggy' (I know that's really a term for turbos) so I had a poke around and found my throttle cable was pretty slack. After adjusting it the car felt so much more responsive it was worlds apart. Worth checking on these older cars. Edited January 10, 2016 by Pikey009 Quote

Cheers for that matey! Was over a year ago when I did mine so kinds forgot lol and yeah there an absolute nightmare to get too! Quote

Pikey009 Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Thanks for the heads up. I've got quite a few tools so should be ok. Hmm wondering where to get the hose from Quote
Russleh Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 I think I remember that the throttle cable securing point is different. Some big washers should do the trick. I could be wrong but I remember doing something similar. Quote
Dansstarlet1996 Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) I got the hose for mine from scrapyard, picked a handful of shapes and sizes and one fitted, think Suzuki swift vac tube is what I used. I kept the standard Rolla throttle cable holder and used that Edited January 11, 2016 by Dansstarlet1996 Quote
Pikey009 Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Thanks very much guys I'll have a look when it arrives and see what's what Quote
*Pete* Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Or you could weld on a little but like I did with mine, still not on a car lol Quote
Pikey009 Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 would you guys recommend getting a new corolla manifold gasket for fitting or does the starlet one fit? i'll be fitting my mani this weekend all being well so just need to make sure ive got everything Quote
adzy Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 would you guys recommend getting a new corolla manifold gasket for fitting or does the starlet one fit? i'll be fitting my mani this weekend all being well so just need to make sure ive got everything the starlet one will do as there both 4efe Quote
Dansstarlet1996 Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 I used a new one but only because i didn't know how old the gasket on there was Quote
*Pete* Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 May as well do the gasket while you've got it apart bit of peace of mind and just in case the old gasket breaks your not stuck or put it back together and it leak Quote
Pikey009 Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Yeh I think I'll go for it but need to find a part number. Think Bean mentioned there's a Toyota parts page online or something? Quote
Pikey009 Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Anyone got a part number for the gasket? Seems a bit of a mine field as I'm searching Quote
PPSR05 Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Anyone got a part number for the gasket? Seems a bit of a mine field as I'm searchingTry this one mate. Don't hold me to it. Just had a quick look. 17177-11070 Quote
Pikey009 Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 The problem I've got is: are the starlet and Corolla gaskets the same? If yes then I'll just order through Toyota but if not I've got to find the reg of a Corolla with that mani fitted and order it that way Quote
PPSR05 Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 I think so as its the same 4efe I found that number then google searched the number and added gasket at the end and it came up with Corolla and starlethttp://toyota-europe.epc-data.comThat's where I got the oem part number so can search Europe or Japan or USA hope that helps mate.

Pikey009 Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Thanks buddy. We'd best stop clogging up this build thread! Sorry walker Quote
