The Toffinator

I have just put a 4EFE bottom end into my GT Mate. Swapped over these parts from the 4EFTE Cylinder Head (Valve springs only difference) Sump for oil return Oil filter housing Oil pressure switch Thicker MLS Headgasket to lower compression a tad Havent ran it properly yet but the rods and crank are identical to my last glanzas 4EFTE So should be fine.

Love how full on Jap this thing looks, cant wait to see it in the flesh! CT9 Result is amazing too, Nice smooth powerband too. Awesome Man!

Anddddd im back... After telling myself i wouldnt be back (At least for a LONG Time), And laughing at everybody else bouncing back and buying starlets again im now in the same boat First bought a little baby blue N/A, (Small project thread) And after slapping some mods on got the bug again and bought this thing from Manchester as a rolling shell. Got it for a decent price and its a very clean example, engine bay, boot floor and all the usual bits like sills etc are lovely and clean, And with a bit of time cleaning it up im sure it will look amazing! Car had a bottom end failure after wha

Thanks Steve. Few updates on this and finally some photos. It went from bog stock (No photos unfortunately) To this spec in a few days. Impressed by the car actually and feels quite nippy, Interesting to drive one again, which may have swayed my recent purchase... Corolla Inlet manifold K&N Induction kit RSR Springs on KYB Excel G shocks Rota GT3s HKS Silent HiPower Glanza exhaust (Not so fecking silent mind) Few photos of this, It needed a clean mind! Sadly it will be for sale shortly as i may have once again gone Turbo, and bought an EP82 GT Turbo! Toff

That's stunning. Will have to add an r32 to my ccollection at some point!

How's the TF035 going kieran?

Hahaha you never know ;) 2 in the space of a month i couldnt resist!

All 4E Cranks are interchangeable, Some may be marked differently, ET I have seen on facelift glanza cranks, AFAIK There is no strength difference, no difference in throw etc. Same in the 5efe and 5efhe, some come with a 3e marked crank, some come with 5e marks. If it was me i would use a low mileage 4efe and build a forged lump. there identical really, Pistons are higher compression in an N/A, Valve springs are thicker in an FTE. Build a 4efe with forged bits and uprated springs your onto a winner!

You can buy the wide Insulation tape, thats quite good and looks smooth

Just wondering if anybody knows if SR Clocks will fit into my 98Spec N/A, without swapping pins etc round? i know the guides say you have to swap them round but being a facelift it has a different setup anyway? Thanks

Ahhhh wider is no good really then is it :/ And i only have this choice really or I would! I have a 5e crankshaft but it needs 0.75 bearings, Which I'm unsure off!

Has anybody ever considered using a micra exhaust manifold? I know people use 4efte turbo manifolds on micras and they require a tiny bit of modding but dimensions are the same... Couple it with a decent exhaust you might be onto something?

Just had a quick look myself and found that the Mains are different, Does anyone know if its diameter or width? If its diameter and only by so much surely oversized bearings could solve this?

Idea floating in my head today regarding the above engine components... I have these bits sat in my shed doing nothing, So if its possible i will do something with them. I Know a 5EFE Rod is longer than a 4EFE/4EFTE Rod I Also know a 5EFE Crank is longer throw. However what im thinking of in the simplest terms using these parts would just make a DE-Stroked Engine, And the pistons would not reach the correct TDC. So if you wanted to could fit custom pistons, Or custom rods, Or what im thinking off, Decking the top of the block! Main thing that would stop me doing this is the rod j

Why on earth would you want to fit super Hicas? Rear steering would make the car no better on the road, especially if you want 600hp in it. If what you wanted to do was at all feasible it wouldnt be a road car, wouldnt be a 4e/5e engine without stupid work (Ie spuddys,Nos etc?), More likely another tuneable 4pot. Honda,Toyota,Mitsubishi, (List is fucking endless) Even then you would need drag radials to make it useful, and it wouldnt be a starlet anymore. But feel free to go ahead and prove us all wrong... And yeah S2000s use the F20C Unit, Sort of similiar to a K20 But far superior...

Hahaha its okay mate, But yeah the skyline wont be going anywhere thats for certain. Thanks Matt, If im honest i had the money sat for a 32GTR And was still mulling it over. Glad i held off obviously because this thing is special. Thans buddy, And yeah he was some bloke, still fit as a lop at 64 before this happened and only months before was sending me photos of him fitting coilovers to the car! Hello Gainzy mate, Thanks. Should be spectacular when its back, The car as it is in them photos i hadnt touched barring the wheels, Only thing i did. Thanks Steve, there will be plenty more to com

Hey up everyone, Been a while since i was on here after breaking my Forged 5E V which im sure people have seen before, (Rob Hartley now owns the shell as his green frankenstein monster lol) In the meantime i bought a cheap Celica T-Sport VVTLI while breaking the glanza which looked like this. After all the caper of stripping the glanza (Still regret it a tad) And buying the celica and fixing it up, I was relatively happy driving about and thinking of what my next project would be.... Next thing i know, my Grandad who had been ill for a couple of months, Took

What springs are these mate? Are they PI By any chance?

Quite a transformation from Forged 5e to N/A lol, Good look with it I'm glad the shell is being used after I spent so much time on it!

You can't buy them new anymore, Ap Engineering just won't remove adverts. I did try to buy mine from various places including the 2 on ebay and nobody has any. They are AP Modified MR Turbo ECU. Glwts
