Toyota Starlet Turbo on a 998
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi All

I have read the various post about the gt17 turbo and the t2 but I am looking for that something different.

I see some people are going to use a ihi rhb5 turbo but not alot of info yet guess it must be to new.

I seen the scarlet turbo being a small engine and kicking out huge bhp maybe I could use that. But I do need to learn loads more about choosing the best turbo

So please give me your ideas

What is theh starlet turbo turbo? that'd be a good place to start.

Actually I'm trying an RHF4 not a 5

Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

toyota ct9 i think , about 135 bhp capability at least .

Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM

Yeah its a ct9, im considering this one as i have a ct9 sitting there in good nick. Might butcher a few manifolds and have a crack at it.

generally ive heard soem really good things about this turbos...good mate f mine had a starlet turbo running approx 195 bhp on his hybrid turbo but even when that one let go and he went back to his slightly uprated ct9 i think it was still good for 160...ill have a woord with him as hes abit of a starlet buff and will know its max outputs etc

you've pretty much got it right there, about 160 is pushing it. it's not all that laggy either. makes power from about 2000-2500 on a starlet motor.

looks a nice bit of flange too



would image it could be made to fit a metro manifold without too much 'ado'

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

Thats a dinky little thing

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

Whats with the oil feed area? Blanked off?

looks that way, from the kits on ebay:

oil:



water:



it looks like you just bolt them on, although looking at the gasket for the water flange, the in/outgalleries are separated, so does the water just 'touch' the turbo and flow back? i.e. no internal water passageways? which is a bit wank...

i've a ct 12? slightly bigger, mite modify somethin. have a metro manifold and a t3 flange!

Think itll need a bulkhead box, or run ridiculously short exhaust runners.

I stuck it behind my 998 while i had the carb and extractors off.

anyone able to confim if the jdm starlet's turbo had ceramic internals?
