Danfordy91 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Hi guys. I'm pretty new to this site and haven't had my Glanza for long. Brought it off one of my mates with the bottom end gone and was just wondering if some one could point me in the right direction about getting it forged. I've brought another bottem end that has already been bored out to 74.5mm for weisco Pistons and has been notched for the forged rods. What would people do next ? Am not sure on wether the head needs to be done or if you have to uprate the crank? It was running 240bhp on a td04 set up, external wastegate, screamer pipe, 330cc injectors, greedy blue ecu, exedy organic clutch, fuel pressure regulator, dump valve, blitz adjustable boost controller. Civic rad, fmic. Think that's about it. Any advice would be a great help. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Get some Wiseco pistons & Scat rods, 0.6mm headgasket, new oil pump, water pump, engine gasket kit and build it back up Leave the head it don't need touched. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Danfordy91 Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 Ahh right see every one has been telling me to get the head done. What break could you push it up too until the head needs work do you know ? Also what about the crank does that need to be re grinder or any thing ? It only got a td04 at the minute. Would u recommend getting the td05 or spend out on a garrat ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Leave the head alone, doesn't need touched till 320bhp'ish. You would need to spend a lot of money to get a head that works right for one setup. You would have to measure the crank to see if it needs a regrind/polish, then get bearings suitable to suit. What power are you looking to run? That will determine what size turbo you need, but remember the more power, the more of everything else you also need. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Danfordy91 Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 Ahh right I get yah mate. And well I was only lookin for around the 300/350 mark so yeah I don't have to be spending mega bucks lol. But I'm guessing even at that power you would still have to get a lsd to stop it just spinning on the spot ? What's the best place to find parts would you say ? Tuning developments or racetec ?

AdamB Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 TD04 or TD05 will do that power, will be cheaper than running other turbo's as well like Garrett, Precision etc.LSD would be high up on the list, 280-320bhp is plentiful especially for a road car. Best place for parts, probably Sam @ Speedvision has the best prices, and if you're nice he might even put it down as a gift so you don't pay import fees Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Danfordy91 Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 Yeah I was thinking a td05 or that td04 billit. I should ideally get the lsd sooner rather than later so I can get it fitted whilst sorting the bottom end ? N oh right ok cool. Do they have a website. Il have a look mate. Cheers for that. You got your starlet forged ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) Speedvision website here:https://speedvisioncps.com/ You could also try getting the parts off US ebay, but again hit & miss if you get stung. If you're on a budget you could always use the MaxSpeeding rods that are listed on ebay, they'll do the job. I sold up a long time ago, you can check my build thread http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/60779-adams-5e-monster-gt/?hl=adamb#entry781684 to see what I was up to Edited September 3, 2015 by AdamB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Danfordy91 Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 Ahh cool thanks mate. You've been a massive help. That step by step guide u sent me the link for is spot on aswell 👍 I'm not on a budget as such I just don't want to be spending crazy money on a road car lol. If it was for track days it would be a different story lol. I don't suppose u would no how to go about sorting out the electrics. Like the plugs/blocks on the loom that go on to sensors n other parts, all the leads coming off of them are snapping. Can u cut them and wire another block on there or is that on the main loom ? It's a mess under there wiring wise lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Danfordy91 Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 I was thinking about going for the 5e in mine but didn't want to complicate things more as am only just finding my way around a starlet aha. Would you say the 5e is the better choice than the 4e or do they both have the advantages and disadvantages ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Save yourself the hassle and just get a new loom, you could spend hours upon hours fiddling and faffing with the wiring. The dash can be had out in about 15-20 mins, and once the motor is out of the car it's easy enough to swap over. If the car is a daily then the 5E is always going to be better, there's no replacement for displacement, the more torque makes it a much better drive. Also if you plan on running loads of boost, again the 5E is better because it has wider journals but that's a different story. Since you've got the 4E, just use that, 5E's are getting rare and expensive for just a block and a crank. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I agree with most of whats said. I personally wouldn't run a .6mm gasket in any forged engine i build. If you want to run decent boost to make the power you want your just playing with the chances of it detting a lot earlier. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
