So it doesn't seem too tired after all. It doesn't seem to burn lots of oil looking at the plugs. So why would you replace the engine? And when are you finally supercharging the starlet? That's why I subscribed initially...
I’m not replacing the engine. The car is getting scrapped. The car is hail damaged from 10cm hail. The windscreen is smashed. The hood and guards are damaged from roo hits. The headlights are held in with zip ties. Needs suspension. Plus there’s other issues. It’s not worth putting the money into. I’m still supercharging the white Starlet. Unfortunately it’s not a cheap undertaking when doing things properly. It’s take time to find the funds with bills, mortgage and a family. I’m getting there slowly.
@@GsAutosOh too bad. You can't safe em all! I'm looking forward to the supercharger project. It has been done so little. The 5EFE engine would be even more suitable. It has lower compression ratio and lower ref limit. A version of the 5E also came supercharged stock I believe. There are also people doing a 1.5 yaris tsport engine swap in the starlet. Some also supercharge those engines. Good luck with the scrap. Maybe you can make some money on parts...
Wow… still a considerable amount of compression and consistency amongst all 4 cylinders.
I may also recognise that workshop 👍
Sheesh not bad!
When are you coming back, so we can have a more consistent upload schedule
