Tightening Torques 4E-FE

When I work on a vehicle I always tighten bolts up in 2 stages if there are more then 3 bolts to tighten.

What ever the finishing Nm of torque is half it and do that first so for example if you have a rocker cover that the bolts tighten to 8Nm, tighten them to 4Nm first. After you do them to 4Nm up the torque to 8Nm and repeat the process.

Main bearings Stage 1: 29 Nm

Main bearings Stage 2: 58 Nm

Big end bearings Stage 1: 20 Nm

Big end bearings Stage 2: 40 Nm

Valve Clearance (Inlet) = 0.15-0.25mm cold

Valve Clearance (Exhaust) = 0.31-0.41mm cold

Compression Pressure= 9.8-12.7 bar

Oil Pressure= 2.6-3.6 bar @ 3000rpm

Rad Cap= 0.75-1 bar

Thermostat opens= 80-84 C

Hopes this is useful to whoever may need information such as this.

bwaaa wait till you feel the boooooost then u be in a right hurry to boost harder ha ha boost is very very veeeeeeeeery addictive indeed :)

Haha well gonna find out

I painted my wheels to a very close match to rota grid bronze using a compressor i loved the result

I used 3 coats of paint on all wheels

Before a few clear coats

Finished product on my previous car

so keep the wheels :) a tdo4 can be got cheap , also if your handy you can make an adaptor to fit the tdo4 :) keep things cheap as possible till you have funds to buy a wepr kit or the likes

thats how i started in the begining bolted a tdo4 to stock everything 4efte then upgraded slowly 1 thing i did have was a wideband to keep an eye on things a cheepo """" exhaust gas temperature gauge """ is handy to have to there like 30quid

Alright thanks for your input i think i will do that. I'm not amazing at fabrication, but a few friends I know are. Though I don't want to aim towards a cheap build for it want quality I'm just gonna take it slow and not rush it. Thanks

you can run 7 psi ( tdo4 ) on a stock 4efte anymore and feul adjustment is needed ( thats on a gtt ) some say on the v it feuls to 0.8 ????? just stick to 7 psi to be safe !!!

think the 200 pound and a hair dryer for them wheels is ok ??

The wheels are only 280 new. And tyres on top of that I really like the wheels tho and they would fit the ep91. But ik I would want a TD04 down the line. Hard decisions

I've been offered 200 quid and a TD04 for my wheels off mx5.

would you do this swap?

The ep91 i'm looking at is bone stock. If I was to get this TD04 on with a new manifold of course and full exhaust if need be, would I be able to run it safely if i upped the boost a little before it gets mapped?

Or is it best to just leave boost alone throw on all the mods i'm planning then map it?

front mount

full exhaust

TD04

Fuel pump

Those would prob me my first set of mods (power oriented) then a map if there is anything worth adding please feel free to help a brotha out

I've also read that the fuel pump should be replaced and a 255lph Walbro fuel pump seems to be popular. If thats a necessity i'll get that done first of course.

Thought i'd post here rather then making another topic trying not to go post crazy here haha.

bloody hell you know it's bad when people

I. Sri Lanka know your a con man lol

Hahahaha this guy has gone global!

I had a 87 honda prelude but it got stolen (back in Florida)

no other cars worth mentioning till i came to the UK

First Uk car was a 1.3 02 Mazda Demio best feature were the wheels I painted them properly using a compressor with Rota Grid Bronze paint

Then what i currently have until i get a glanza. J Reg mx5

Alert admin get the cunt banned

Sounds reasonable.

What username is he using ?

Seems to have conned a lot of people.

Glanza-4-Life

Did he contact you through this forum ?

Yea is he banned or something? lol

Alright guys and one gal thanks for all the replies. I won't bother then.

Don't think any of the Colne lot are coming so it might not be worth setting up a meeting. Then again, if you're bringing other mates/cars, it could be a good idea.

Yea Im hoping to bring quite a few friend/cars. So far I have a friend who wants to come in his Pulsar. Another who also has a forged mx5 (he's hoping to get it back together in time fingers crossed.) Also got a mk2 mx5 coming, and another mk1 mx5 (350z, wrx sent message to them awaiting reply.)

I've been offered two glanza's by same person. Dudes name is Usman Hayat

4G's for it

he came at me with both so just wondering if anyone knows how trustworthy he is etc etc. Both in london by the way as well.

I don't think so mate. It's nice and easy to get to. Don't think there will be enough coming from one particular location to arrange convoy as such.

Alright just wondering I might have a 350z and a WRX tagging along would be a nice way to end a wedding weekend. Would you need confirmation on if they come?

Welcome mate.

Thanks bro

Be good to see you there!

Likewise bro. Don't know whether i'll be in mx5 or a different car but we'll see. Is there gonna be some meeting point for anyone along the way you reckon?

Im coming need to get involved and chin wag with glanza/gt owners. haha only found out what chinwag was today xD still learning the lingo.

Not too bothered if it's manual or auto tbh always do a swap for manual if I get auto. Just set of saving a certain amount before I get one that's all.

Welcome, new my self, but did have a v over 4yr ago, will not be selling this one I have just bought:-)

Ha. Welcome to you to then :-) I won't be selling the one I get either.

Lucky I have to wait a little bit longer to get one...... I hate waiting lol
