starlet GT engines are awesome little things. I have one in a mini (old schooler), its not running yet. A couple of people in Aus are have them in minis and running 12sec passes out of the box.... For sure they SNAP my skyline

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.

      Coolant leak?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
