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.

      It just depends if you're like me with a high level of OCD for doing something like hardlines, and highly critical of the little things, and then bugger all patience to get it how my brain pictures it

      More than happy with the colour match Talking to the painter he recommended to give the top a few weeks for the paint to 100% cure prior to sealing it with the ceramic stuff Also, because why not..... I have a fancy pants Fluidampr harmonic balancer on order, the 2.5 engine uses the OEM 2.0 balancer off the old motor as the 2.5 balancer is a larger unit and doesn't fit clearance wise, which, because the two engines have different harmonics, isn't optimal, the OEM balancer does the job, but as the gear driven balancer in the bottom end is removed to fit a RWD application there is slightly more vibration, the Fluidampr helps with the harmonics that the gear driven balancer once took care of,  basically makes life easier on the oil pump and bearings when thrashing it around Hopefully the weather gets better soon because I'm keen for some cruising around, and currently, with the winds and storms we are getting, the amount of detritus being blown around from trees on the road isn't something I want to be driving around in
