exactly what im aiming for... starlet is 1.3 engine also yes?

fabricator reckons itll pull crazy power..... im not so sure. engine is 300k old...

1331cc 321,000km engine.

Also it's my wife's car :)

so this weekend, we finished the cooler piping, and made a custom intake using a rip off hks filter from china!

car runs and runs well, although we have the bov completely disconected from the cooler piping as too stop the boost getting to the engine.

specs.

1275 300km engine

ga15 throttle body and afm

custom manifold

custom cooler piping

ford xr6 turbo intercooler

1 x t28 garrett gtr turbo.

future mods (to support e85)

gtst fuel pump.

cga3 top feed fuel rail, modded with vq25 injectors to fit cg13 intake mani.

exedy hd clutch

jun 3.4kg flywheel. (or 4kg cant rememebr)

hopefully get this done over the next two weekends.... tune is 6th of june. (if the nistune is ready in time)

the little micra that could, rajabdamn.

cant believe you got the fuel rail to work with those bits and pieces, usually they are a PITA to get different things to fit.

Where did you source the clutch and flywheel? did they double the budget of this build?

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
