We gotta get a video of this guy's car with a microphone under the bonnet going to 11+, please please please it would sound crazy. Barely any videos on youtube of 4A's spinning up past 9. Great vid 👍
Man that bug eye starlet was sick. So much i love the KP. Can't wait to hear the full potential of the engine. I can still hear the engine noise into my ear imagine running and the sound keeping in.
Many years ago the late Rodger Freeth (Possum Borne co-driver) built up one of these Starlets - he used a 4 liter version of the Rover V8 and had a Jag diff in the rear end with independent rear end suspension.
@NEVER-LIFT very cool person to have as a friend and resources especially for rare parts and car and lost knowledge in older motors very lucky my friend yo know someone like this love the way he house looks like a shop from what I see in the back round life goals right there
Great explanation. We are modrrnizing an 18rg, studied some formula atlantic things in the process. Titanium long rod, +9mm, 48mm tbi s, 312 intake duration, 308 exhaust, at 12.5mm. 10.5 to 1. Big valves and port and polish.
i owned a KP60. I bought it with Nissan CA18Det installed. Sold it to my friend and he installed Nissan SR20Det. He Sold the car and the 3rd owner put in A Toyota Supra 2JZ. This car handles really well. i wouldnt go turbo. High powered na or better a rotary will really enhance the handling.
wow that old starlet has been through a lot. My car had a similar story but the only evidence I had of multiple engine swaps was the multiple wiring harnesses spliced into the car 😂
@@noobatnothing It won't make power at 12K man. It's just not possible given the valve size compared to the stroke. If he like destroked it to a 1.4L he might be able to but not as a 1.6L.
Your NA 4age is not going to brake a TTI gearbox. We run one in a 900hp supra track car and its been in for 9 years no problems. Its been out and striped once a few years ago just for a look inside and it was all good.
@@Sager-fs9bv the reports that I’ve heard were the magnesium cases cracking, not sure if that’s what Eddie was referring to. The ae86 box TTI do is specifically designed for NA so I’m sure if we put one behind a high powered turbo 4age it wouldn’t last long. Thanks for the comment brother
Nice car, but I'm calling BS on the 600kg quoted weight in the video thumbnail. Factory curb weight of a KP60 is 710 kg. Old mate has swapped in a heavier engine, gearbox, diff, struts, brakes, dry sump system etc.. It is almost impossible to engine swap an older car, keep it streetable and make it lighter than factory. I know this because I have a 1993 Ford Festiva WA (1st gen) 3 door Trio (base spec) which has a factory curb weight of 750kg. I have swapped in a B6T (Laser TX3 turbo engine), IHI RHF5 turbo, intercooler, EFI conversion and a G series fwd gearbox (stronger). To reduce weight I have stripped as much of the interior as possible, changed to a lithium battery, custom made a lightweight side exit exhaust, done a rear wiper and spare tyre delete and a few other things. Last time I weighed it came in at 755kg with a full tank of fuel. To make it significantly lighter I'd have to change to polycarbonate windows and make carbon fiber bonnet, doors and hatch. The only FWD road cars around 600kg are classic Minis and Kei cars such as Daihatsu Miras etc.. For RWD cars the only ones I can think of are kit cars like Caterhams etc.. The lightest Lotus Elises are over 700kg. As for modified RWD cars, the Hayabusa engined KE10 being built by Nugget Garage may go close to 600kg.
Also is 30mm shorter at the front than the MK2 and mk3. It all adds up and is lighter than the more common later models. It might not be 600kgs but will be pretty close. @@samthesr20man

Wow - I've had small chats with Eddie over Facebook, but it's so cool to see his work and how his brain works. Incredible workmanship he produces!
He's very well known on social media, Absolute legend in real life
What's his socials
I could listen to this stuff for hours!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eddie and I usually talk for a couple of hours before we run out of time, I should turn on the camera next time
Podcast
Met Eddie at Toyotafest a couple weeks ago and had a good chat about the car. Seems like an absolute legend
That's where I met him years ago too

Great idea man, I'll prioritise another video when the car gets tuned
Love how helpful Eddie is, I bought some parts off him when refreshing my 4AGZE.
He’s a legend

It'll definitely come alive in the high RPM, I'll prioritise a revisit when the car is ready

@@michaelharrison1093 wow, I wonder where the car is now
MAN! So cool, sucks we never got KP Starlets in Aus,
totally sucks, I've only ever seen about 5 for sale here in Australia and only two of the five were worth buying
This dude knows he's stuff super impressive this car always was a dream build to have in my life hard to find these in California no a days
Yeah Eddie is a very smart dude I'm always learning from him

Wow sounds like it’s gonna be a beast, is it for a celica?
Great episode like always, I was laughing as soon as you got in the car and said this is going to be rowdy gets two thumbs up form me👍👍.
the video just doesn't capture the feel of the car, as soon as he took off it was clear that it was a serious build
THIS WAS SICK !!! 🔥🔥🔥 and yes you do need a Starlet haha 😎 Thanks a bunch for sharing 👍🏽
I'll start up a dedicated Starlet savings account
Eddie is a legend
Sure is, and he's always willing to help fellow toyota enthusiasts

Lovely machine
Ain't no john deer but it's nice
Mad car !
4AGE..... Oooooh-wee!!!!
Bug eye starlets are quite rare let alone 2 door
The rarity makes me want one even more
The 4afe came wiry a similar 7 rib block
All 4AFEs I've seen got squirters. They are just 20V blocks.
Not sure if you missed it but Eddie bought the block from Loynings in the states, he was just explaining what they prefer
Need to have some drive by footage, just seems like another 4age otherwise😂
Next time 👍
If you ever make your way to Perth I've got a 340hp mk3 KP61 you can check out ;)
That’s interesting, can you send me a DM on instagram?
please do another video when he tunes it to 12k
Your gonna be waiting a loooooooooooooong time

@@MotoWot the interior looked gutted out to me
It's legit I had a similar setup and it weighed in the same!
