Thanks, it's the 40mm one that's gone.

Had a google but no luck and don't want to take the manifold off to measure it.

Anyone know what size the core/freeze plug is above the starter motor please.

Mines just started to weap

Haha I'm literally using that very tool now to set my carbs on my 16v, it works a treat [emoji106]

Don't think it matters but mine are now pulling around 6 on the meter at idle

Started some work on a graphics package today, looking great, I'm thinking less is more on this build ! http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/02/06/b3ce82646c0d5eaab7a7125f6054384d.jpg Also customised a tailgate badge http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/02/06/abfa62700bd27cbd9bc975aa859ec961.jpg Wan...

nice looking build... LOVE your dedication to fixing all that rust... What pistons are you using?? Just stock bottom end, in hind site I should if done the bottom end properly, but at the time it was just going to be a quick fix. Maybe when it blows I'll do it all again but go for some real power.

Thanks, the 180 rotation of the distributor gear worked a treat. Great tip [emoji106]

Not a corolla but anyway http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/02/03/528a0629c76e139375531af9c13de01b.jpg http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/02/03/ed34f73d587850e5dbbc68c6b1628915.jpg http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/02/03/8cdd62dbccf39939c87681dc67bbcf3c.jpg Original paint code, TOPAZ GOLD I b...

Lol, my wife calls them bullet holes

I wanted Yamaha R1 carbs as they sound the nuts..... And I had to give up my R1 due to circumstances beyond my control. It keeps a small bit of biking in my life. The hyperpak does advance/retard the timing, it's not fixed, it comes pre mapped as such so cannot be altered. The Starlet is my piece of...

No, as I have adjustable pulleys I can optimise the timing. Where's the fun in using stock ECU.

It's my car, and it's like no other, I think this is the reason we all modify/tune our toys

The engine is in a toyota Starlet. I'm not running a ECU as such, the hyperpak is all there is. Yes I can run with the distributor at max advance but that doesn't leave me any room for tuning when I get to the dyno. I want the dyno guys to be able to do there best with what I've brought to them, by ...

Left info out as I was trying to keep it simple. I'm using a hyperpak to control the ignition timing http://www.erd.co.nz/products/toyota.html It's a simple cost effective solution for the set up I'm using. The hyperpak instructions say that the STATIC timing needs to be at 15degrees BTC. That's the...

Interesting ..... Well I've got the spare distributor apart, just need to press out the pin, so will take it too my mate garage tomorrow. Thanks for the tip about the dimple, I've made a mark on the shaft so will still be able to allign easily when refitting. Shall let you know results later in the ...

Were you using after market cams ? I am and wonder if that's the issue, the gear on the cam being slightly wrong compared to a factory shaft ? I'm using TOMEI Poncam's

Ok I understand the issue as I had almost exactly the same thing with some aftermarket cams. It is possible as Yoshi says, you could be a tooth out on the distributor but if yours is like mine moving to the next tooth ensured it was too far retarded at full adjustment. So what to do if this is the ...

Running Poncams using hyperpak and yamaha R1 carbs. https://vimeo.com/118353735 Click to view video It's booked in for dyno tuning in 2 weeks, just trying to get a base setting for them. Hyperpak requires 15 degrees BTC static timing, which is fully anti-clockwise without engine running on my set-up !

Been tinkering today with my setup, could anyone tell me what the maximum advance is using the original distributor and timing marks ?

My engine seems to run best with the distributor fully anti-clockwise, maximum advance !

Using technotoytuning engine mounts, clears the firewall fine, the manifold is made by a guy in Ireland.

The sound of the carbs is great, have always been into bikes so thought if combine the 2. It's now up and running, still fine tuning the engine, it's also booked in for a rolling road set up to get the cams etc all dialled in. Trackday at Brandshatch is booked for 27th Feb. http://tapatalk.imageshac...

I now know what I had wrong. I had put the original neg back onto the new coil neg, so it was grounded so the hyperpak couldn't switch anything. Oddly by removing this I've also got 12v+ across the coil. Good spark now [emoji106] thanks very much, learning as I go. https://vimeo.com/117416851

Sorry to Hi-jack this thread....

How easy is the MSD to instal with the stock distributor ?

Can I use an un-ballasted coil like a Lucas DLB105.

I'm desperately trying to find a simple affordable ignition system for my 4age Starlet running bike carbs.

Thanks.

Ok, back working on the car, hyperpak is earthed, and + supply is good 12v Coil has 10.72v when ignition is on, and when cranking 9.8v but nothing coming out from coil still ? Could it be that the Hyperpak is faulty, it is an old used unit and unknown condition. Also when swapping out the coil for t...

Ok more help, I have had a good look but struggling to find anything useful.... The alternator is sorted thanks [emoji106] I'm stuck on the Hyperpak installation. Using a Lucas DLB 105 coil http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/01/19/a8615fab4d4aaa8a0c482644172de9e3.jpg I've wired it up the same as t...

FYI the links don't seem to work using tapatalk ?

I have the alternator plug, and I think the Haynes manual I have for the starlet has wiring diagrams. So at a guess I need to join the thicker 4age cable (one from the bolt) onto the Starlet regulators output cable ? What about the other 3 from the multi plug, are those more signs I'll wires ? If so...

Hoping someone can clarify what I need to do! Currently fitting a 4age into my KP60 Starket. The original 3k engine alternator had an external regulator. http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/01/17/4462ac74295b16c1ad5b629eff4423b6.jpg The 4age came with the alternator I want to use, both alternators ...

Thanks but I've got one now, pop it up in the classifieds I'm sure it will sell quickly.

Just searched on the old site using google, got all the info, thanks anyway [emoji106]

Jondee, as you really are a wealth of knowledge, you may be able to advise me again about this gearbox, in the picture you posted, by the output shaft, you can see the plate has been removed where the gear stick goes. Now my gearbox is in, it's a tightfit and I'm going to struggle to fill it using t...
