am i right in thinking that all starlet turbos and glanzas have the same engine. also do they all have the same performance figures. thanks

Yes they do the main differances are,

Body Styling (Obviously)
GT is lighter
Glanza has different Gear ratio in 3rd and 4th to make up for the extra weight
Glanza has a boost restriction in 1st and 2nd gear to combat wheel-spin ( can be easily bypassed)
Glanza has a slightly different turbo internally to help it Spool up quicker to make up for the extra weight

if you think performance was greatly improved i think you are the retarded one man....its hardly a big mod,id consider something like a full exhaust system and an ebc as greatly improved but i suppose very small gains do it for some people....just not me

lol.. the way u word it "does fuck all". that makes it sound like its not a worthwhile thing. it definetly is a noticable thing to do especially for free mate. im not saying its gonna give you huge gains ffs but its definetly worthwhile and does make a nice little difference

good for you mate if it made a nice difference for you,but it was the first mod i did on mine when i got it and the difference wasnt much... we are talking about a very small increase in boost after all... of course its worth doing just for the sake of it seeing as its free but imo thats only for people on a budget...and you wont get much gains for free...

I kinda put the restriction back into the car as it helps alot when launching, But i use the speed map function on the Blitz SBC from 0-10 Km/h it boosts to .6bar then Switches to .75bar from 10 - 30 Km/h then onto .9 for the rest, I have the ability to run 1bar but i don't bother cos i use the car as a daily driver and don't need to

Click to expand...

:p 2 rite!
same as having your car stuck in low boost.....lets face it no1 wants that
do watch out tho can mess with ur engine management (light may come on)
def worth experimenting with
sounds like franz has the best set up but it aint cheep

didnt realise the blitz boost controllers could do that? that is a pretty cool idea.

rev related boost control would be even better! could then achieve max torque throughout the whole rev range!

i had my avcr set to similar to franzas only i ran mine 1-1.1bar daily...
avcr is the best boostcontroller on the market

i havent even got a boost controller... its just set @ 1bar.... but that decides to lower itself to 0.7-0.8bar when driving around town due to my engine/intake pipes too hot getting hot with the flooring it, then stopping at lights :S ............

so with the boost controller this basically enables you to set your boost to whatever you want (within reason) ? then if you like you can turn it back down when you want too?

can someone shed some light.....?

anywhere from you actuators base stting upwards. you cannot lower it any lower than what the actuator would normally let it boost too with no controller fitted!

right that is what i thought......

so im guessing my actuator is set @1BAR but then when it lowers occasionally when hot...? thats due to a senor from the turbo.....

Im pressuming the actuator wont alow me to set at lower then 1BAR, only when the senor kicks in..... hmmm......

wouldnt mind feeling a bit of 1.2BAR.... think i need bigger injectors though...

a stock 3sgtes injectors should be fine for 1.2 bar i would have thought!?

ive never really noticed massive drops in boost pressure due to heat like a lot of you have!?
