jsut been out with my mate in his starlet 1.3 turbo, its rapid and completely standard, standard exhasut, standard filter, standard boost, everythign standard, he had it rolling roaded at 129bhp, jsut cant belwive how quick it was it was even pulling away from me in my astra 2.0 turbo 200bhp, he also beat a type r and a focus st as thats all he raced. pissed me off abit as my car is 0-60 in 6.9 his is 7.6 and even when we were past 60mph u would have thoguht a 2.0 would pull more but his still pulling away from me

Starbo's are quick little cars for real.

Was it the gt turbo or the glanza?

stevenet15

26th July 2007, 21:48

duno mate its jsut a starlet 1.3 turbo, think it had glanza written on it somewhere from what i remember but cant be sure, whats the difference?

sorry couldent resist dude :(

lol u know the preggo has to be done ;)

As far as I know the gt turbo is the more hardcore version so to say. It's the older stye ones. Like J reg. Glanzas are the newer more rounded versions think it was N reg onwards roughly.

Don't know if there's any mechanical differences but I've never looked into them much.

But I do know standard they are fairly quick, especially for a 1.3 and must have potential since it's a jap turbo hot hatch!

26th July 2007, 22:07

when he told me the other day he raced a subaru and was neck and neck i thoguht bullshit but now i beleive him, he is going to put a hybrid turbo on it and get it remapped with higher boost then it will be a right beast, its stupidly quick as it is especially for a bloke thats only had his lisence a month

Totally standard and its doing Type Rs?

DAN-VTS

26th July 2007, 22:21

Sounds interesting! Sure that RR wasnt atw :P
Standard glanza hp is 135 and the GT is 133, The only difference between the 2 is the glanza has a slightly different turbo :y:

p.s starlet 0-60 is 6.9

I think he's fibbing that its standard then if its pulling away from all those cars.

it is only standard, the only thing he has had done is the speed limiter taken off as the engine cuts out at 110mph so he had a specilast remove the speed limiter sopftware and he said its completelt standard map and boost

mattchewone

26th July 2007, 22:51

They are quick my mate has one and it does go some. They are so light so the power to weight ratio is good. Would be a monster with a hybrid. You got any pics of it?

stevenet15

26th July 2007, 22:56

no but i will get some, its jsut standard so dont look anything special but will get some

theres one about running a huge scooby turbo and mad bhp! nearly 300 iirc and all that from a 1300/1400cc :shocked:

Scattle

27th July 2007, 07:22

They are rapid motors and weigh nothing at all. Still thourght a 2 litre would pull away after 60 though.

mattc

27th July 2007, 07:31

Glanza looks like a micra from the back...

Can he turn the boost up and down or is it just the standard low/high settings like on alot of starlets?

Getting alot of power out of a 2l scoob engine wouldn't be too much of a problem, but surly getting that much power out of a 1.3 can't be good for it lol

I was out in kingkarls new car, his RSI, on a saturday and we pulled up at the lights against a punto 1.4 gt at the lights and it absolutly FLEW!!!!! I'm talkin seriously quick. At the next lights we was like 'errr yeah so whats in that' and he said 'nothing its standard i just put the boost up as high as it can go' like, silly amounts of psi lol... Haven't seen it about on saturday nights since then, i'm guessing it probably blew up being a fiat n all... What i'm saying is can get alot out of a turbo^^ lol waffle waffle

Mikey

27th July 2007, 07:33

wasnt really into these till i read a few threads and saw a few kicking about!!

Danr

27th July 2007, 07:54

They are pretty rapid motors! You would of owned him though if you'd kept going to naughty speeds! They run out of puff at around 100 iirc. My mate in his rsturbo was commenting how rapid they can be, his rs is around 210bhp!

Chris

27th July 2007, 08:03

Glanza = Jap Import

Star Turbo = European/UK version.

They are lovely little monsters and affordable as a first car too, which is unbelievable.

Chris :)

Japman

27th July 2007, 08:43

Insurance is really good on them aswell...........£73 more than a vtr :) :)

kenny

27th July 2007, 09:05

glanzas are much nicer than the gt models imo.

my mate is changing everything in the engine of his glanza and from what hes been saying he is hoping for at least 280+ bhp but im just waiting on actually seeing the printout when he finishes it but will keep yous posted as im very unsure on the truth with the work hes done.

Jimmy-Boy

27th July 2007, 09:24

yeh i might consider 1 for my first car :P naa only kidding too ugly for me

vtr_driver

27th July 2007, 09:28

I had a GT turbo before this Saxo and LOVED it. Will deffo be getting another one. They are RAPID!! I never got to go up against any Type R's but I wasted a GTI180 at York Raceway Also quicker than a Clio 182, but mine was slightly modified. Would reccomend a one to anyone just awesome awesome cars. I prefer The GT turbo to the Glanza personally.

VTS_16v_Boy

27th July 2007, 11:57

Well they look slightly smaller than a Paxo so thats probally why, how you getting on with the Astra mate? All good?

Any mods yet?

vtr_driver

27th July 2007, 11:59

Inside they feel roomier than the saxo. However they are considerably lighter. The handlings not as good. Mine wasn't bad but it had decent shocks and springs and strutbrace's galore!

Yer my mate had one cant remember the model but it looked identical to the glanza, then he put the glanza turbo engine init.

*EDIT* - just remember it was a starlet SR.

Japman

27th July 2007, 12:43

The older ones are ment to be faster aint they?

vtrchris64

27th July 2007, 12:48

only slightly because the glanza is heavier i believe.

Really like these cars, shame really the interior is gash really puts me off.

Japman

27th July 2007, 12:50

yea the interior is rather gash,i get some buckets and strip it out lol

b0t13

27th July 2007, 13:34

there stupid for tuning, for example an exhaust system gives 15bhp+
decent air filter is 5bhp+

they gain power really quick with little mods, 200bhp is easy to get with some ££ spent on it..

vtr_driver

27th July 2007, 14:25

AFAIK They were never available here and they're all imports (the turbo versions that is) As for insurance go through a specialist. The insurance on my Starlet was cheaper than on my Phase 1 Saxo VTR when I went through Sky Insurance.

bullit

27th July 2007, 15:55

might buy a basic one and put a ebay turbo on ftw

funkmaster-fresh

27th July 2007, 16:16

theyre class little cars, my mate had one and it was a wee rocket.
great fun to drive, and sound lethal with some breathing mods and a dump valve.

oh and the glanza is the import.
Gt turbo is uk model.

And not common knowledge to a lot of people,
but the very first starlets were rear wheel drive!
the very very old shape!

was running about 150hp, vts is much quicker after 60 :y:

jimbo06

27th July 2007, 22:15

yeah these are pretty qick little motors even standrad and 200bhp is acheivable easily, with the likes of blitz, greddy, apexi etc making loads of parts for them.

dannyc

28th July 2007, 00:28

We had this starlett GT Turbo pissing over the VR6`s the other night out around our town. The VR6 boys did not look very happy.

Then came another little pocket rocket, Pulsar, my first encounter and that was quick! Think it was the GTi-R version too or just stupidly modified, extrememly loud dumpvalve but was a stunning color orange, like st focus orange but not as piercing

Reef

28th July 2007, 12:00

What surprises you guy’s? Is it because it’s completely standard?

Welcome to the world of Jap performance cars.

The Starlet Turbo is a very rapid little car mate, don’t be surprised seeing it have a play with the bigger boys, it can hold its own to 60. With all do respect to the Saxo VTS, I’d rather buy a 1.3 Starlet/Glanza Turbo after a Saxo 1.4/VTR.

Although I'd have a starbo over a 5 anytime like.

Vinny_VSX

30th July 2007, 15:47

I would rather have one over any saxo VTS. Mainly because I prefer the sound of a turbo than a N/A engine. Plus its a performance jap car, so imo its very cool.

30th July 2007, 23:37

They dont look nice not really......my mate has one aswell........yeh its quick but once it get up to speed i reckon i cud stay with it.............and a VTS wud have one hands down.......Startlet might get away abit but once upto speed VTS shud go past

VTS over one anyday

if i wanna Jap turbo car......Nissan Pulsar is the way to go :y:

no chance my mates starlet pisses over vts's as he showed me the other day, the only way i think one of the vts's could have won is if its was at top speed as they raced to jsut over a ton maybe a ton ten but the starlet runs out of puff at about 128mph so the vts could do it then. plus when he did race the vts's they only kept up a little and that was from a standing start from a rolling start he was pulling away from vts's verry easily

27th October 2007, 01:05

my mate had a silver glanzer. in the birmingham area. it was runnin about 220bhp and it was a rocket. he done quarter mile in i think either 12.6 or 13.6 the 0-60 was around 4.8. nothing had a chance:)

mattchewone

27th October 2007, 06:00

Depends on the driver lol. My mate also has one and its pretty rapid to get to the speed limit! I'm not really sure what it would be like against a vts though although he did beat a vtr when it was a normal 1.3 starlet. ( as he engine swapped it for the glanza )

he must have had something done to it i cant see it beating yours and those other cars you said about! my mate has the older one with a decat and induction kit and is boosting abit highier and i can pull away from him in my cammed vts and i can only pull a little bit type r`s had a race with a 2003 scooby wrx and it was neck and neck! your should be able to beat his! they are quick tho!

Scooba

27th October 2007, 17:28

ive been out and test drove a fair few of these, (EVEN MANAGED TO BLOW UP THE TURBO ON ONE OF EM!!)LOL
there're quick but i thought they ran out of puff after 75-80.... the handling are not as good as they could be, but still they do shift up to 60mph on the high boost!!

As for beating type-r, astra turbo i can believe...... the glanza's are so light and the type-r and astra turbos are both not the quickest of motors!!

I also think that they are becoming over-rated. They are in the same league as a 106 gti and vts,

++ found my video when i blew up the turbo on a starlet!
