Supercharging A Starlet

[taz2008]

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

[DRD-00F]

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...

[ArBe20]

I havn't heard of it but im sure its been done. Might have better luck asking on a toyota forum or something.

[cheez]

there was a turbo or supercharged starletat calder park drags about 2 weeks ago, ran mid to low 11's so it has been done.

[VB-]

yeah that would be turbo, and somehow, i doubt any starlet, factory or custom owuld have 1ggze in it.... inline 6 in east-west layout.... no chance

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

Your call , I reckon front wheel drive turbo cars are a bit lethal especially in slipery conditions .

A .

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

Drop a 4E-FTE in - This is the simplest option

[evil_weevil]

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.

It was a long time ago, and I was just out of school....

Haha i was thinking the same thing

[Munkyb0y]

lol STARLETSAUSTRALIA

i drove a borrowed starlet around tassie for 10 days. i even helped the owner do an oil change, and i still dont know what the hell motor was in it.

[TTT]

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.
