Just had to ask me mate about that one, Toyota Starlet in drag he said, though he did also say 920KG 133bhp and huge potential.

Same concept as the R5 turbos. A reasonably powerful and tuneable engine in a low weight chassis to give a good power to wieght ratio.

Yeh they do go well.

TBH they are nothing special in my experience.

xr2i-carl

What's your frst tuned to

Saaamon

iTrader: (2)

I agree with you when you say they are not special but they can certainly put alot of so called quick calls to shame. I couple of my mates have some big power starlets and they really do go.

Dlatch!

lad i know had one was tuned to 175bhp and went very well but my god what a fugly car

n13los

my mates got one, he says that there are some about running 250bhp+

ava map 1 thats 340@wheels

for a 1.3 thats awsome

dangerousbrian

is it exactly the same as a starlet? lad i worked with had a j plate(i think) starlet turbo..went like shit off a stick...look like a shit on a stick tho

iirc the glanza is the japanese import version of the starlet available here.

nealo

Over here you can only get the starlet sr/sportif models.. the glanza-v turbo and starlet gt turbo were never available here.

Iv had three starlet gt turbo's, one with a hybrid turbo (180bhp) and they do move well. I was interested in one recently thats had a td04 conversion and running 238bhp @ the fly, 203 @ the wheels. My god they move!

Glanza V is kind of like the facelifted Starlet GT. All imports as well I think. Very capable cars with the ability to embarrass PLENTY of cars on the road when it really shouldn't be. A bit of a sleeper as unless you are into your cars you won't really know what they are. Always liked them, wicked hot hatches!

RickyLee53

We tune many upto 250bhp on the stock 1.3 engines. There pretty quick at this level cause there so light, most mid 800kgs.

Adam.

Yes mate had a recon hybrid with the same spec as mine Ł450 HURT ALOT LOL, my cars spec is:
Hybrid turbo
superchip
green air filter/breather
adjustable boost
running 9psi
backbox
ALLEGEDLY lightened and balanced, (no receipts to prove) tho it runs very smooth
and ALLEDGEDLY 180BHP :S

KnoxyGtt

my corsa had no problem seeing one off when it was running a std let at the time and this starlet was ment to be tuned up alot from what iv was told from a few different people, they still sit at a decent price and seem to hold money well

nealo

im not quite sure i believe that one mate, heres a video of my mates tuned gt at santa pod..

Bungle

A standard c20 let is still 200 bhp so i should hope you did see him off

mate has a 240 bhp one goes very well he is in bristol so watch out for him lol were about in bristol are you mate only very see my mates black frst out ?

zvhrst

they shift ok from stand still,

but after 80-90 mph there out of puff, tuned or not, they have little torque but are nippy little things.

not my cuppa tea tho,

Adam.

Hi dan, what colour is ur mates glanza?, i think i have seen ur mates black fiesta, is it proper minters? i think i see it parked in the griffin car park on the shows on tuesday nights, i have only had mine a month or so,

Here she is :



Where abouts u based in bristol mate?

Adam.

True 80 upwards he had nothing

crazycage

13.2@107mph thats fooking good going for any car never mind a 1.3 turbo.

DAN P

iTrader: (1)

its black not the one at the griffin though this has a fat front mount sticking out the front 216 bhp i think my mates is like a blue grey lol with blue wheeels front mont on and i live in witchurch mate you ??

fuzzy

mv turbos had a cosworth converted toyota starlet a few years ago. allegedly 500bhp .plenty puff in that id imagine.

chettle

a friend of mine is building one using the Toyota Paseo (???) 1.5 bottom end, fully forged up on a TD05 turbo, custom plentnum. The same set up has seen 463bhp from one, but my friend is looking for a reliable 350bhp...

awsome little cars, with very little tune will show up much bigger cars!

Adam.

Im in kingswood, will keep my eye out

Imagine it would be good fun. I used to love my Fiat Uno Turbo, little pocket rocket and a sleeper, the amount of times I got pulled by coppers in it was unreal as they didn't expect to see an uno going so fast

chettle

thats my m8s before he took it off the road, it was running 250odd bhp with a TD04 kit on it.

for what they are, they are awsome!

Oranoco

Brother mate had one. I was very impressed with how it went. Not much done to it other than a front mount intercooler and Subaru turbo (TD04 I think)

Sure he said it was supposed to be about 180bhp. Certainly felt quick. Not pretty mind
