DRP-OOF - why are you posting in a thread about starlets then?

Monkey - I'm comfortable on my horse..

you two lesbians need to chill out.

Cause I have shit to say... and again, you're defending yourself... stop arcing up so much...

and heaps creative on the letter there... my plates were actually 'modified' once with white-out and a pen :P

So you're not the first...

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.

FYI to the above - there are starlet GT's - turbo from the factory...

i was thinking about buying a turbo stalet a while back. they do a low 15 second 1/4 stock, so a few mods like exhaust, cooler, and more boost and you should be into the low 14's pretty darn easy, and still have a car that you can park in the trolley bay at coles.

I should have typed that as supercharged+turbocharged.

I initially thought the OP was asking to supercharge his already turbo starlet.

as in, I thought he had a Starlet GT which he also wanted to supercharge.

like twin charge.

that was the $5K I was refering to.

got it from Dale? (10secrx7)

he has/had a upgraed package of:

manifold

TD04

Microtech and tune

and a few other bits.

was under $5K from memory and pretty much gave a power/weight to run a 12.xx

then it was a matter of driver ability and traction.

"When threads turn bad..." haha

I rem when my cousin got me into cars, mid 90's. KE Corolla's, Cordia's, NA Rotary's were the bread&butter. 11sec Sigma turbos would eat you, and in cabin, screwdriver tweaked Microtechs was NASA stuff.

Ahh the good ole pre-adolescent 90's; wet dreams, women and umm... worcestershire sauce.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Before starting any work, we attempted to adjust the tune. However even after adjusting it to certain extremes like completely stopping fuel, it had no effect. What fixed it was removing the Nistune Board and installing the original EPROM instead. This immediately fixed the issue. Everything should have been fine with the Nistune Board installation, so I am unsure why it has caused a problem. The soldered connector is also properly soldered. This worked when I first got the 550cc injectors, before cleaning, but that may have been a coincidence.  We ended up not installing the fuel pump hanger (at least for now). So currently running stock injectors, stock fuel pump, stock fuel pump hanger – Well everything stock except the exhaust. Now I have around €1400 in Nistune, Injectors, and Hanger collecting dust for the time being, perhaps I'll install them in the future. For now I'll enjoy the car as is 😁 Thanks a lot for all your assistance, I really appreciate all the help you have given me.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      The turbo can’t be the issue. They’re proven to make much much power than you’re making. There is something in the setup that isn’t correct. - has the exhaust got any silly step downs? - what exhaust manifold?

      Ok, just the way you wrote it made it look like you had the stagger the wrong way around

      I was getting anxious with the DVLA not knowing if the paperwork is fine or not, so I rang them. No update had been given, but I  was reassured that providing the box was ticked on the V750 then the application will go through fine. I've been checking the DVLA website pretty much every day, in the hope that it would have been done. Fast forward to Monday 29th  and I was greeted with a new screen on the check, and it finally showed as Taxed and MOT'd, woohoo! The car was in desperate need of a clean, not knowing when this day was coming it was put off. As far as I was concerned I had another 3 weeks  I'm not normally one for using snow foam, but I wanted to give it another try It hasn't cleaned up too bad considering it's 21 years old and lived on a boat for a number of weeks. The personalised number plate is J2 XBK, an illegally spaced number plate would have it read J2X BK. BK could either represent  the colour black or Baker, which is my surname. I filmed the first drive, the Youtube link will be at the end. I used the same driving route I did with the 323F V6 when I had a new exhaust installed, heres a couple of photos A few more since then Youtube video can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjkFHPzjGDw
