    Re: star**** turbos..

    I remember a few years back, sitting in my old black 5 on the slip road waiting to pull into Ace Cafe and some lad walked past with his mate, turned to me and said "Sick car bruv"... he looked somewhat baffled at my response of "No, its a lumpy cam, ts supposed to idle like that"

    Did you really say that, or are you just making it up to make yourself look 'hard'?

    No, I said that. He had a 1% chance of knowing what a cam was anyway. I could tell that from that fact that his knuckles were chasing his feet.

    No, that would have been a WHOLE other headache.

    sure the boost hose didnt blow off? my pulsars boost hose came off and the car wouldnt run and sounded like it was running on 2 cylinders, put it back on and good as new

    Re: star**** turbos..

    Yea but im sure you pulsar ticked over...it just clicks once when trying to fire it up and thats it. Been looking at the starlet forums. Going to have to take the head off and see if there is any obvious damage etc etc

    it didnt tick over fella, now if it was the 5 you could still drive it as normal just without the boost

    The Pulsar struggles to tick over because of the maf, if it blows a boost pipe off. The Starlet's use a different setup, blow through i'd guess, and they'll still run, just like the 5, if a boost pipe pops off.

    Re: star**** turbos..

    If they're treated well, they're extremely reliable. A mate's running 1.6 bar on his daily and has done for quite some time now. He drives to France in it too. It was rolling roaded at 320bhp, but I wouldn't beleive that even though its quick. It's still a decent motor though.

    Re: star**** turbos..

    yeah that is true. if they are treated properly then they can be good.

    just costs alot of money for that engine to be forged etc. and most people who have them dont do it thats why bad things happen.

    Re: star**** turbos..

    His engine was forged. We're thinking its not an engine problem as it still turned over the next day albeit not much lol.

    Clutch coming out next
