[screech]

[screech]

meant to say what is the performance for one?

[TheNissanMan]

didn't know they even made a starlet turbo or is it an aftermarket kit ?

the EP82 Starlet GT was sold in Japan only I think, very quick and tunable.

Standard times are-

0-60 = 6.9 seconds

Top speed = 127 mph

Standing 1/4 mile = 15.1 seconds

And mines not standard. :D

[screech]

***** that's !Removed! quick for a 1.3. bet they're great fun for beating rs turbos, vts's, r5 gt turbos etc

[ep82]

Nah mate, there’s no competition racing the R5, RS turbo or VTS. None of them will race me where I live; I have to play with the GTIRs and WRXs.

[TheNissanMan]

If your car does 0-60 at book speed 0-60 = 6.9 surely you don't stand a chance against a WRX, not to mention the handling...

What mods do yo have on there !

[ep82]

Well the new Imprezza WRX does the 1/4-mile in 16.9 seconds the old one in 14.4. So I’m not that far behind the old one and can easily keep up with/ beat the newer one. The 0-60 might be better due to the 4-wheel drive but over the 1/4 mile there isn’t much in it. Also an Escort Cosworth has a 1/4-mile time of 14.9 seconds the Sierra does it in 14.8. I never said I beat them I just said I played with them.

My mod’s are-

HKS Super Drager exhaust

HKS Racing Suction Kit

Blitz de-cat pipe

Bleed valve set at 13psi

FSE power boost valve

Lowered 35mm on 15 inch wheels

Pagid fast road brake pads

[TheNissanMan]

I stand corrected.....

[Carlgolsby]

I'm impressed, did you add the mods yourself or did they come with the car?

[ep82]

I've added all the mod's myself, it’s cost me a fortune but it’s been worth it. I’ve got loads more planned for it, bigger turbo, front mounted intercooler, programmable ECU, fuel pump, etc.

[Carlgolsby]

so what's made the most performance gains out of all that lot then and where did you get the mods from?

getting very curious!

[ep82]

I'd say the induction kit made the most difference, along with the exhaust. The difference in performance was amazing, I couldn’t believe it. The old exhaust and air filter are so restrictive. Together they turned my boost up so much I started hitting my fuel cut and I had to fit a bleed valve to turn my boost down. The noises they make are wicked as well, I sound like a rally car. You can hear me a mile away wheezing, popping and roaring down the road.

I've got most of my stuff from either Fensport or Graham Goode Racing in Leicester.

[TheNissanMan]

Is that before or after you get in the car :D:D

I sound like that when I try to run anywhere:P

Hi there toyota club members, I have a EP91 (1996) starlet with a 4E FE engine and was wondering if there's any point in doing an engine conversion of a 4E FTE or would be best to just buy a starlet glanza. If i would like to do a engine conversion but I am having trouble in selling my existing engine. Anyone interested? it's only on 32000 miles, are there any good companies that would i can trade or sell engines with?

Thanks for anyone that can reply and help me............cheers.

I can't believe u guys didnt know that there was a starlet turbo... they are not just in japan and there are a crapload of them in Britain. The starlet turbo motor is the most popular motor swap for paseo's. They make 135 hp stock and are easily modified.... Click here for more info on starlet turbo

I've got the Starlet Turbo engine in my Sera.

The Starlet can be tuned to the 300+hp mark if required...

Just wondering if the 4efte ever came out as awd or if the tercel was the closest to it and needing a conversion 4 the box???

[Dom]

there was a 4wd version for the 4efe engined starlets but it won't cope with the 4efte.

EP85 was the model for the 4wd's i think
