J40k-mo Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Got plans for my glanza, wanting to hit bhp figures of around 450, what's the best set up to run? Turbo wise, forged parts wise, clutch wise etc... Thanks in advance for any advice Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rwdrev Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 hope you have very deep pockets!! haha. i think you should be looking into a car that can properly handle this power, unless this is just for quarter mile only. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

daniel_g Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 What's best power to run mate?Thats the never ending debate lol.Around 240 - 250 in a well set up starlet is pretty decent imo.Youd probably need to sink 10k+ into a starlet to be able to have 450 and stand half a chance of being able to put it down, ie LSD, semi slicks.

mikey4410 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 230 is well enough.handling and braking are more important. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 What's best power to run mate?270 with LSD imo I would contact wepr about turbo set ups, coilovers brake's and tyres are just as important to control the power. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 just buy a supra or skyline Quote Link to post Share on other sites
J40k-mo Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 At 200 at the moment, and dunt wana be spending £££££ n only improving 30-50 bhp, I know I will feel a difference, but want a big difference for my pocket to be lighter haha, what are the best Pistons and rods to use? And what do people do with the head? Port and polish?

rwdrev Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 whats your current setup? and whats your budget?? its not a cheap upgrade going from 200bhp. for a start you are gonna have to find or build a forged bottom end. there is a few on for sale at the moment. so theres 1600-2 grand gone already, but now you have a bottom end ready to take whatever you throw at it. turbo setup depends on your manifold you get, theres a nice wepr 1 forsale on tgtt for £250 sheets, so that will take any turbo using scooby 3 bolt flange. you will be needing bigger injectors, brake upgrades, suspension upgrades, some form of engine management, fpr, bigger flowing fuel pump, lsd box, front mount, etc etc. do some research Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 if you are using s stock box 52/56 lsd or not then upgrade to oem lsd box with the closer gears ( higher final drive ) it will make her feel a lot faster but a BIG reduction in top speed also more feul Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 For 450bhp done properly with breaks and LSD your talking not much change from. 20-25k roughly.Personaly wouldnt bother with anything below 220 bhp. Dare I say it for anything under that power I think I'd rather buy a Honda and rock the n/a! I have a forged engine up for sale for 1750 in the forsales section and also have a matching turbo kit would see you well on your way to. 270+ bhp but engine + turbo kit your talking 2.5k+ so for alot of people they just stick with the stock engine its alot of money to invest Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TurboTobz Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 A well a balanced 240bhp with massive handling mods management quick spool turbo lsd good tyres and some weight saving would do you well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TurboTobz Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 For 450 as a minimum I'd recommendCusco LSDORC ogura clutch and lightened flyWiseco 74.5mm pistonsPauter rodsacl bearingsAthena head gasketCoil on plug ignitionSuitable standalone ecu3 ish inch exhaust systemTurbo wise most go with garret maybe try precisionhead stud conversionaftermarket inletdecent size front mountexhaust manifold to suit turboDownpipe to suit turboTial wastegategauges to monitor thingscamshead work?5e?nos?water meth?Knife edge crank?list goes on and on.....

Or will I need to buy a head n all that bollocks, n what price we talking mate? Deffenatly worth concidering all your 4e stuff bolts straight onto the 5e block, the only thing you have to change is the flywheel to a 3e te flywheel to let you use the 4e clutch. looking £150 + postage for block and crank. kevin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
J40k-mo Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 Will it be a better choice than getting a 4e block and forging it? What benefits would I be getting? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
glanzatd04l220 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 as far as i know the 5e makes more torque and spools the turbo quicker, but someone with more experience with the 5e engine will be able to give more info. kevin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
J40k-mo Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 Would it be better to use a 5e head as well or is there no difference? And where's best place to find a flywheel? And Kevin, if the block is fucked then I think Al have that block n crank off you but don't hold me to it! Al let you know as soon as I've had a look, thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
