Starlet/Glanza

[gunmetalgtir]

I know this isn't a Toy-mota forum but I thought someone might have a bit of knowledge of these cars!

My pal has a Glanza and it has a boost limiter in first and second gear, anyone know how to remove this?

Thanks,

Grant

There'll be a solenoid, similar to the one on the GTiR. This will be controlled by the ecu and limit the boost available in 1st and 2nd gear. When you remove it, you'll need either an electronic boost controller or manual boost controller to look after the boost levels.

I did a similar thing to my GT Four as, Toyota do the same thing to them, out of the factory. It's very easy to bypass and can make a big difference to the way the car behaves.
With the Glanza, I can imagine there will be a fair bit more wheelspin post mod.

Cheers youngsyp!

Helpfull as usual!

No worries bud.

The solenoid has a specific name but, I can't think what it is for the life of me. I'm sure you'll find it easily enough though.

I take it it will look like the one on the R??

Can you just remove it and put say a bleed valve in it's place??

I think it does look very much like the GTiR solenoid, yes.

As for the bleed valve, you can do that but, if you're gonna go the manual boost controller route, I'd go for a relief valve. These work a lot better than bleed valves as, the stay shut until the set boost level is reached. This will give you better spool up and the ability to reach peak boost quicker. From what I understand, they also react faster than bleed valves so, are safer.

I used one on the GT Four and it worked great. It was on the GTiR for a few months too and worked well there.

If your mate wants to go down that route, let me know as, I have the relief valve up in the loft. If he wants it, he can have it for a £10. If he wants it new, go on the GT Four owners club forum as, the bloke who makes them, is on there. I think his user name is 'Kiano' or similar.

Thanks Paul, I'll let him know!

Looks like Paul has it covered Grant so this is information only now.
Found this multi stage boost controller... good price at $60 US

That looks good mate but, it appears you need another controller to go along with it, if you want a fully adjustable boot level ?!

This is a 'relief valve': http://www.3barracing.com/product_7.htm

You will find its not the boost limit but the Factory Fuel Cut

That statement makes no sense ?!

Regardless, it appears that the factory boost cut is at around 0.85 bar: http://www.toyotagtturbo.com/old/viewthread.php?tid=39812#pid517422

So, as long as he runs below this, he won't need a FCD.

Cheers Scott and Paul!

What are you talking about?? :?

It's a boost limiter in first and second gear.

It runs 1.1 bar in 3rd gear onwards but it can't hit that in 1st and 2nd, I don't know where the fuel cut comes into it????

He must have an FCD fitted ?!
Having said that though, from the post I put up ^^, it seems the fuel cut isn't that well defined so, could be anywhere. :doh: :lol:

Maybe should have put the full info on your first post
if the car is running 1.1 bar then there must be some mods included to get it up that high..
Ask on tgtt forums

What does it matter how much boost it's running??

Cause my oringinal question was how to get rid of the of the boost limiter not how much boost can it run!!

You're just annoyed that your response wasn't anything to do with the question!! :lol:

It's either chipped or got a different ECU, I can't remember TBH.

Well if your running 1.1 bar then your boost cut would have already been Sorted Ahhhhhhhhhh:doh: I would take a look at it being something else..

 

[gunmetalgtir]

It's not been sorted that's why I'm on here asking about it!! :der: :lol:

:lol: I think your problem is how much boost the car can run :lol:
