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

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.

      Compatible rear drive shafts R34 N/A?

      By RB25inside · Posted

      UPDATE: Yes the GSP Axles are compatible. I installed it on my R34 today and they are working a treat! Turns out that the S13, S14, S15, and 200 SX all used the same axles as the HR34, and ER34 NA models. Which is 2 bolt x 3 pairs.

      Got the passenger door on plus the master cylinder and booster. Loaded up to take it home. At home, the colour changes a lot in the light.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Nothing cheap, but I have seen the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ which is pretty close to what you're asking for. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder mandates that the back of the jack be a certain height and Skylines have fairly deep inset floor jack points. A more certain and cheap option is to get some nominal 2x10 inch lumber boards and have one board be 1.5 feet, the other board 3 feet. Glue it all together with lots of clamps to maintain pressure. Make two of these. The ramp suggested above is a good idea, it takes quite a bit of clutch slip to get over each of the boards. I only need the first ~1.5 inches for my low profile jack on a standard ride height car but a lowered car you want to go up to the full ~3-3.5 inches. Paint it or store indoors if you want it to last.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok. And Nistune? I read (here too) mainly on Stagea threads that it can by "turn off" with Nistune. But they say they still had the sensor plug in. Next week iam going to the Nistune(and other ECUs) tuner so i can finally make it work. I drove the car home and apart from the cut it drove great. No misfire no smoke no hesitation or rough start...so hoping it is this sensor that is missing
