I've got a starlet life as well, thinking of turbo-ing it, but don't know if it's worth it
How much have you put into it so far?

Okies, well post up your quarter mile times when you're done tinkering, i want to compare, heheheh (clocked 17.4 on stock starlet with gtech timer).

Keep up the good work!

iVE got a starlet life and have done simular to mine... but i got a t25 off blubird... JIC fully adjustable coilovers... front mount 250x600 cooler... laser 1.8 turbo injectors... custom front bar... galanza side skirts and 2 rear wings... currently being painted....

where did you get your back lights... TRD speedo... & fuel regulator

and how much for ecu...

Well guys, car is still not on the road unfortunatly. getting there though.

for information on starlets, got to www.austarletclub.com

the back lights and the TRD speedo i sourced from japan, and big thanks goes to J-SPEC for helping me with that - www.j-spec.com.au

Turboing your atmo starlet is one of the best things you can do. power to weight is great and it is not an expensive conversion to do at all.

Car will be for sale as soon as it goes on the road in a couple of weeks. if interested, email me at chris@toowoombacarforum.com

Yo Bro.... sswwwweeeeeeeeeettttt ride.....got it running yet..... oh were you able to fit the 5e-fe bottom end without any mods.....or was it straight bolt on?......

ive got a blue ep91 with a turbo kit....not a 4e-fte engine tho...... looking for one but its hard to find......anywayz....want abit more power but how? the turbo system at the moment has been tricked and so it is running under n/a conditions but still forcefed...dont ask me why.....looking for a gt ecu to make it run better but like i said....they are really hard to find....anywayz.... where did you get your parts from......

can i ak you...... is there a big difference internaly with the 4e-fe and 4e-fte....except for the compression ratio....... hmmmm..... could get away with not changing the engine and port polish top and change the bottom end like you........
