just out of interest how much could you get a used low mileage 4efe engine for. in the video above ep80 turboed, we see a different approach to installing a turbo to a 4e engine. this means that not as many original 4efte parts are required also the power steering on the e11 would not require modifying. a simpler build to do, with parts being made from your local hydraulic hose repair shop (turbo feed pipe and return). the same approach stevei82 used to turbo his 4efe ep91 uk starlet, he might give you a run down on what he used if you message him on here, the link to his build

mine is the cd model starlet it had a engine rpm signal at the clocks, but if you are stuck here there is a engine rpm signal wire at the diagnostic socket used for testing equipment just cut this off the socket and use this to wire threw. ive not come across one member on any forum (starlet owner) that has ever used this diagnostic socket to its full potential. so knowing that feel free to use it for aftermarket equipment/conversions. im working away from the uk just at present and im not back till in the new year, im just waiting on a friend/co worker ho is helping build the starbo.

agreed, speedlines, speedlines, keep them pictures coming. so sorry to hear about your dad passing,

could you message me the specs (duration and lift on both cams) if thy come case hardened. if possible. I might want a few sets. so we could see if a discount is possible. thanks for your reply and help. ive not managed to find any specs on the 5ehfe units and it would save me time.

im loving the matching dark gray and light gray contrast that continues around the interior. ive never noticed this before. fantastic work. came out like new. yeh I need some dished style, bolster supported seats in the rear. I took some friends out the other month and they had a very intermate experience whilst sitting in the rear together, as I was taking down some corners (your a very very loose fit back there). haha. I think it was rob bower sr that gave me the inspiration. the evo seats have cup holders in the center arm rest also so should make it abit more modern. the cd i

waw like new. I'm really liking this steering wheel. ive got an evo mk2 rear bench seat im going to try and trim down and install into the starlet, using the starlets bench frames. ive seen on here afew lads that have done bench conversions.

ive just fitted recently some 97 glanza v trd clocks into my uk ep91 1997 4efe. ill get my mate to email me the wiring diagrams I put together after the install. ill put these up see if it helps you.

I missed this update 98 spec interior nice. get up a picture of it fitted. keep the great work coming

Just make sure to have good strong bracing in place to the engine block and a good big in length exhaust Flexi, as well as use all the original exhaust to body mounting points. This helps stop cracking of the manifold which I believe is common. From what I've been told this design/make of kit in mild steel provides great power and lasts (does not crack) but again

Yeh defo understand that. I would hate to see any 4efe builds wasting a perfectly good 4efe engine. These engines if driven right and looked after will last at 150hp. From the engines I've pulled down so far the internal wear is very low the highest milage engine being a 130kmile unit. The main problems I could find was carboned up piston rings (sticking rings), and valve stem seals leaking due to age, as well as front and rear crank main seals.

Yeh some great builds happening on here just at present so alot of help and experience to do a 4efe+t. Id recommend running a bigger turbo like td04l or tfo35 on the E11 4efe if this is the option chosen. The reason is they will deliver 150hp at lowwer safer boost pressure for the engine. With this you will need the turbo fit to support/house these turbos comprising of exhaust manifold, decat pipe, water lines oil lines and bolts. And aftermarket air filter and piping.

Yeh very much agreed the 4efe will probably need engines seals like valve stem seals. And again the knock control is very very much recommended for higher compression engines like the 4efe. This was why high load ACL bigend bearings were recommended to me straight away while doing the 4efe+t conversion. As well as running it on higher octane fuel. Which you will find will cost you more over a long period of time. The ep82 and ep91 nock control does only operate in the lowwer rpm range. so im hoping the later and faster ems on the e11 4efe does a better job These are all reaso

its upto you personally if I was yourself id get an unopened low mileage 98sepc glanza engine. and go that rout they will do 150hp all day. but as ive said its your choice. if you take your time and search on forums you will find all the parts.

They do like nice and thick. Decent and lot better than factory.

looks awesome, have you got a web site. for future turbo work I recon im going to need.

OH YEH. top notch work. brand new.

With the milage that is currently on it i'd recommend doing an engine health check before applying boost pressure. 1). Compression test across all cylinders. 2). Cylinder leak off test (testing ring seal and valve seal) 3). Cylinder hybrolic test will also test ring seal and in most older engine causes free off sticking piston rings. 4). Oil pressure test. 5). Crank case pressure test using an monometer. 6). Engine ems fault code readout and reset. I'd replace the crankshaft front main seal and rear main seal upon updating the 4efe standard clutch. I

Some new exhaust parts turned up today. New longer exhaust Flexi and new high flow catalytic converter both damaged after an exhaust ground strike. 4.5 inch exhaust bung to reduce the low noise from the map speed exhaust system.

the mighty mx5 is this the long nose crank engine. these take boost so well. mostly all of the best lads in the modifying world are mx5 owners, and on the forums. so so many great people.

hold on to your hats, its the exceptional circuit know as IMOLA.

you will have to get oversized forged pistons and rods and a full acl bottom end bearing kit with thrust washers, uprated valve springs in a reconditioned cylinder head. a full engine gasket kit as well as arp head bolts, a good head gasket, thurbo kit and turbo, with some mods to the original inlet manifold to house the 4efte inlet temp sensor, uprated 4efe paddle clutch, id also buy the c56 gearbox recommended in the previous post by dutchie so at a later date you can get an after market lsd unit as above 190hp lsd will be very handy, but not a necessity. if you do this I'd send the eng

tech talk and can I just congratulate the greatest of all time gp racer and fellow brit Lewis "hammer time" Hamilton. another outstand performance and another +20second win in 2020.

yep you got it. or set the gun to 5deg and pully on tdc cyl one/0deg

the glanza ct9 unit is the harder hitting ct9b. this is a great combo. really impressive tune.

fantastic work. really is looking very nice. is the ct9 a ct9a or ct9b?. this is going to spool up so fast.
