    ive read that the wideband bung should be welded 1 meter from the turbo, does anyone have advise on where the best place is for space and not fouling the gear selector... pic maybe? cheers

    5efe ECU

    turbominicooper replied to dwd's topic in Wanted

    Got a 5efhe auto ecu going, just needs 1 or 2 wires played with to work manual. Plenty info on here for doing so
  5. turbominicooper
    no need to forge when you have a 5efhe take it you dont consider td04 a big turbo?
  6. turbominicooper
    over 100k look for: - valve stems - piston rings - turbo fatigue - timing belts already been covered

    yeh thats a good point didnt think of that, i was only taking into account the extra height of the FHE pistons, does anyone even do anything over a 2mm gasket? will be interesting lag wise to see how the higher compression works, colin has done this before so i have high hopes
  8. turbominicooper
    yuh but the NA pistons have an extra 2mm on them hence the 2mm HG so with a 1.9mm it would be raising the compression as its thinner then required??
  9. turbominicooper
    would the 1.9mm AdamB mentioned do, slight raise on compression?

  14. turbominicooper
    that's what I thought too. leak down test would be a good idea - cheers

    am i able to do a compression test with just the cylinder head on the block - no cams, sump, oil filter etc?
  16. turbominicooper
    all sorted, had the con rod caps wrong way round, prob put about 50k miles on my new bearings now. ah well its a learning curve for my 5e build

    k so since my first post ive gone over everthing again and re-sat bearings, torqued etc. this is how ive got the engine turning: [vide]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETNitwjTusI to me seems tight, i read somewhere that an engine should turn with 25nm torque but this is way over 50 -thoughts? really want to get this right so any input b great ta
  18. turbominicooper
    As in the title just fitted new rings and big end bearings. Used plastigauge and got the following: Piston 1 - 0.048 P2 - 0.048 P3 - 0.035 P4 - 0.038 Torqued bolts up 20 and then 40nm is ok turning on pistons 2+3, gets stiffer on 4 and then jammed on 1. What's the next step here? Cheers Fyi acl standard 4efte bearings
