Does the corolla happen to b made in or around 1986, and have a 1GGZE in it or something?

A mate of mine has a supercharged AE86... I don't even know what a starlet has in the engine bay... I thought it was like a second boot...

my friend has a corolla thats supercharged! just wondering if anyone heard of or have a supercharged starlet?

4E-FTE is the jap spec turbo starlet engine. Mate did the conversion to a local model starlet a few years ago, it had guts.

the corrolla would have a 4AGZE from the mr2, zippy little motor.

As for the starlet as mentioned it has the 4E series motor, being such a light car i would expect it to hall some ass :no:

there is no "factory" supercharged/turbo starlets.

I'm sure it's doable, but would be a lot of money for nothing.

I'm assuming you have the aus delivered shopping trolley version.

you can turbo charge that..

or engine conversion from the jap spaec EP82 starlet which has the 4e-fte turbo 100kw engine.

Sydneykid had once mentioned that he knew of someone who had shoehorned a sivler top 20 valve 4age in to one.

those motors are 118kw I think..

was apparently a bit of fun to throw around.

I read about a 20 valve starlet years ago, it was built for circuit racing, power to weight was very good - what it lacked on long straights it made up for it in spades around the corners. From what I remember, the biggest hassle was making an exhaust manifold to fit

Wasnt there an overseas model starlet with turbo from factory?

surely?

I remember seeing a few in Malta few years ago (yep, malta! lol same sorta shape as our late model ones, just different headlights and such)

And then theres the Jap ones from the late 80's

Yep, in Japan there was the Starlet GT, and the newer Starlet Glanza, both ran 4E-FTE engines.

what's wrong with knowing about cars other than nissans?

take your blinkers off and look around the rest of the stable and see how many cars are around that will hand you your arse.

People of the 90's will know how much fun Switft GTi's were to drive... this is before the import days so some of you can go back to sleep...

the EP82 Starlet GT was about the same weight but had about 10 kw more than the swift.

and more torque due to turbo.

they are light, fun cars to drive.

no dori dori so that rules out some more of you.

a stiff rear anti-sway bar makes a world of difference to the handling.

it is not uncommon to see these cars lift their opposite rear wheel when cornering hard.

small article from back in 1999 in hot 4's when whiteline did a kit for them

and ofcourse, just like SAU is to skylines..

http://www.austarletclub.com/ is to starlets.

do a little digging. expand your minds.

    • So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House  
    • Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.
    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?
