taz2008 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 hi, i have an auto ep91..starlet life. what sorta mods can I do on the car to get more HP. or is it not worth it? thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletRick Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 my glanza used to be an auto, best thing ever, i was sad when i had to convert to manual... if you have an NA. you should start with the usual mods. air filter and exhaust. Corolla 4 branch manifold (ill have one for sale soon). but first, i recommend sorting out the chassis. new suspension is a must on starlets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
taz2008 Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 how much extra power do you think i can put on the car without converting to manual? say with better exhaust and pods? will supercharging the engine be costly? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 supercharging has to my knowledge never been done, unless u can do it yourself that is Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletRick Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 i looked at supercharging my paseo with the charger from a mini cooper S. they are so cheap and it would be a good upgrade. ive never had experience with the NA gearbox. supercharging a 1.3na would probably give you say 140hp ish. i have no idea if that would be safe for the gearbox. i have an automatic Glanza gearbox for sale if you are interested. if you get it posted up and bung me 40 quid its yours. the internals are alot stronger than the NA and it will easily take anything up to 200hp. the gears are longer aswell which helps when you start upping the power.

taz2008 Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 nah i can't do it myself.. i thought it would b possible cuz my friend has his corolla supercharged..how bout turbocharging the auto? or is it easier to just do an engine replacement? how much am i looking at? thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kevink Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Use the searchbutton mate!You will be suprised how much you can find about turbo starlets... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletRick Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 it isnt easy, but in the long run an engine swap is probably the best idea. although, a few guys have turbos the standard NAs and have them running respectable power. more than alot of starlets. id go for supercharging mate. it would be so different.

muddyell Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I was thinking of supercharging mine a while back after and mate supercharged his g40 enginei wonder if it could be done Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 ALOT Of custom work to supercharge 4EFE Would be easier/better to drop a 4A-GZE in although im not saying that would be easy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
