It’s actually very easy to get good power gains out of them, there are many different ways to get to the same results. The 4E-FTE engine is a very tuneable little lump. So you've now removed as much weight as possible, moving on to the good bits. The GT Turbo’s aren't affected by this, but the Glanza V’s are so check out the guide below for removing this restriction. Back seats, Spare Wheel, Jack, Toolkit, your Mates or Girlfriend all slow you down!

The main reason for these cars being so nippy is because they weigh less then 920kg’s! So removing additional weight is free and helps even more.


Nothing kills acceleration more than weight. With the system fitted it is also a chuffing joke to get to the oil filter! So removing this system has a huge benefit for tuners as the excess space created makes space for intercoolers and filter systems! But the weight of the system and the rotational drag on the engine also slows you down. Not only do they sap a serious amount of power from your car, turned on or off. The air conditioning system on these cars is very very annoying.

If your engine is poorly or has issues, tuning and pushing it will only accelerate the problem and may lead to a failure! If you’re fat, how would you feel to be asked to run a marathon? Asking your engine to handle nearly double the stock boost pressure without work and additional help is just silly! So there are a few things we need to do to ensure your engine is healthy. These models also featured an optional LSD which was available with the C153 transaxle.Welcome you power hungry animals! If your wanting 200bhp then look no further I’m going to try my best to talk you through it! This is considered the limit on the standard engine and turbo, further tuning you’ll be looking at a bigger turbocharger! Two limited edition versions of the GT turbo were produced the GT Limited and the GT Advance, both featured small changes such as different steering wheels and gear shifter knobs, a rear strut bar, ABS (later versions only) and were distinguishable by their two tone paint scheme. The Starlet GT turbo and the normally aspirated 1.3 Gi were replaced by the Starlet Glanza series, the Glanza V and Glanza S respectively. Production of the car ended in December 1995, but the popularity of the car is still maintained by a cult of drivers, mainly as a used import.

The tail lights remained the same, but the full length center garnish was replaced by the small ones on each side. The second minor change was given in May 1994, this time with four round quad headlights combined with the mesh grille. Adding to its handling abilities, Toyota's active suspension technology continued from the previous generation, called TEMS.Īs with other Japanese market Starlets, the GT Turbo received minor changes in January 1992 which included new bumpers and rear combination lamps. The car weighed in at 890 kilograms (1,962 lb), providing a greater than 100 kilowatt per tonne power-to-weight ratio. This engine produced 135 PS (99 kW) at 6,400 rpm.

The EP82 GT turbo was powered by a turbocharged version of a Toyota's E Engine, the 4E-FTE with a CT9 turbocharger.
