I need to figure out which water pipes to buy or if I will have to customize them for my radiator. I checked the code and starlet and corolla radiators are the same. The only difference might be the distance from the radiator to the engine because my car is different. What do you suggest? Should I buy the starlet original pipes or are there pipes that I can adopt? i’m going to post some pictures that show my front right and left engine to show the water pipes and the manifold area. On the left side you can see the AC pump. I would like to keep my pump on the 4EFTE but need to make sure th

Very thankful. I went to check out all the parts they should buy and I found the most critical parts that are better to be original. Spark plugs and other bits can be OEN. I’ll buy the fuel pump you told me about on eBay. The rest on tuning developments. This will be in January though. We’ll figure out what will happen with import taxes.

I got two questions. One is about the exhaust picture regarding Glanza V. Why are there two types of attach to the engine? I thought there was only one type of engine. Probably is because of the difference between the two transmissions? Second question regarding the picture with the belt sets. As my Corolla mount the air conditioning compressor, I should probably get the Glenn’s of the belt set with the belt for the air conditioning that I will adapt on my Corolla compressor. Is that correct?

I appreciate that. I will do a list and check prices.

I’ve been on the website for the last 30 minutes and I checked all the prices for the replacement parts I need to refresh the engine. It is obviously better to buy them OEM, but prices would go up exponentially. The only OEM part I would buy would be the head gasket but I shouldn’t need it considering that I don’t have to open the engine. what do you think?

Thanks. I remember you suggested this one https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WALBRO-255-FUEL-PUMP-FIT-for-toyota-STARLET-TURBO-EP82-EP91-NEXT-DAY-UK-ON-NOW-/153125021594

Thank you. I really don’t have a clue. The Corolla fuel pump is enough to do his job with the 4efte engine? What parameters are set as default and how should a new fuel pump be set? here’s the Corolla electric pump.

Is it this plastic cover on the IC?

@sam44 have you seen this old post? What do you think?

@AZE@A&G_TUNING Hi. This post is old but was wondering if you ever swap a 4efte in a Corolla 1998 E11. Like the rally WRC European version. Thanks

I'll be more than happy to sell you some parts as soon as the 4efte is up and running safe. The reason I want t o keep the upper IC is because it looks good to have the scoop. It will save me 400 euros for the front IC and 150 euros for the IC pipes. That money will be spent on labor. Second phase will be dedicated to swap inlet, coil pack, fuel pump and IC. Ir will require mapping. Overall 1200 euros budget.

Yep I noted what you told me about the swap. Switch the inlet sensor if I keep the Corolla Inlet. The other sensors should be on the engine. As I am wapping ECUs and loom, the Corolla air box sensor should be useless right? I’m still not sure about how to connect the water line for the 4EFTE turbo I mean should I get the Starlet water pump? I’m pretty sure it has the turbo exit that the Corolla water pump doesn’t have. Or can I buy an aftermarket splitter? The turbo oil pipe should be already attached to the engine. Correct? You suggested to change the rubber O-rings and the o

@Sam44 @Claymore I have a simple question. how come the Toyota ECU that comes with the either 4efe or 4efte cannot be mapped?

I went to check for the parts in a hypothetical plan to turbo charge my 4EFE and the prices for the turbo, the manifold and other parts are very expensive. I can imagine how much it would cost to buy a forged regenerated engine from them... Considering the overall budget it is definitely better to take the risk buying a used 4efte. The engine I have apparently on hold (because I didn’t pay yet of course) will be detached from a Starlet half cut. If I will be lucky and the engine will be in good conditions, I will get the oil pump brackets. The shop promised me the fuse box with uncut wire

I’ll be more than happy to exchange brackets. I’m still in the process of understanding every step. It seems that certain things are not clear and I am not figuring out the right information from either of my sources. The fact that I have to pay labor is the element that could compromise my budget. I need to be sure I have everything I need before I buy the engine and I start the work. This includes the mechanic side, the electrical side with wiring, loom call mom fuse box and the most delicate with the piggyback mapping and map sensor. So I’m working on two sides. One is the complete swap inc

I did. He said he doesn’t have any in the engine now is completely different. He went further with customization. He sent me a few pictures of how the engine is now. Programmed a ECU from scratch. “I don't think I can help you with photos because I have changed so much. I have bigger turbo, custom oil lines to turbo, custom wiring for the ECU, coils instead of distributer”.

@Sam44 @Claymore Found this great guy from Greece who owns a Turborolla (4efte swap) he built in 2015. https://www.carthrottle.com/post/wgxyvdq/ Here’s what he told me. “The 4efte has the same mounts as the 4efe so it doesn’t need anything else. You can keep your gearbox but it's wise to get the turbo version from the Starlet. Also you'll need the ECU and the original wiring. The tricky part here is to match your wiring with the original. *Bonus tip. Swap the 4efe oil pan with the 4efte so you have better clearance for the exhaust. Some upgrades that might

@Sam44 Did you ever hear back from the guy? I tries to talk to him on his youtube channel but he didn’t answer.

I’m pretty sure it won’t be easy. I will take a lot of pictures and build a nice thread. First step is to get the engine to my doorstep. 😅

Hey Sam. What happens when I wire the 4efte engine in the Corolla and connect the 4EFE ECU. It shouldn’t work right? You suggested to get the Piggyback wired to the fe ECU. In this case how will I be able to drive to the shop that does ECU mapping? It’s like 20 miles drive. The second option would be to spend more time to put the 4efte ECU in the Corolla and drive to the mapping shop with the piggyback disconnected and connect it when I’m safe at the shop? What do you suggest?

I appreciate your explanation. Sometimes I can seem to be repetitive but it is not easy to plan a job like this especially when it hasn’t been done often. I think I understood most of your explanations. I totally agree that you have to put the engine in and proceed step by step by modifying parts until they fit. My friend is skilled but he doesn’t have a complete shop. We are looking for the extra tools we need. He loves this project and he won’t charge. It’s a compromise and a challenge but I am stubborn so it might work fine. The engine will be shipped in December and I will have it in earl

@Sam44 I was reading this thread. How am I gonna adapt the 4efte lower power steering bracket to fit the Corolla? Can I get a custom made from someone experienced?

Again my bad I got confused. Somehow I thought that the servo box would need an extra exit for a pipe to the turbo. Nonsense. So the Starlet Ganza V servo pump is different compared to the Corolla one?? If so, how should I modify it and why? Thanks.

@Sam44 I have a question. You told me that I can swap the 4efe with the 4efte without removing loom and ECU. This said, what are the wires and sensors that will plug and plan and which ones will have to be modified and how? Which connectors would I have to buy and where? What about the fuse box wiring? Will it be easy to connect all the wires to the new engine? Trying to figure out if it would be easier to swap the full loom/ECU and fuse box as well Thanks

My bad I am the one seeking for information without having the knowledge to understand everything you guys tell me. This is why I was confused about when you were telling me that the Corolla steering pump has to be kept because it is better. Reading through the tips you posted I thought I read some thing about modifying the steering pump for piping. My bad. I agree with you about getting a mechanic who builds parts. There is one who does jobs like this but it is insanely expensive. My boy has been preparing Lotus cars for race. He is good but unfortunately right now he doesn’t have a four shop
