tiksie Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Hi guys I have a EP82 currently running a stock 4EFTE etc. I have done a 5E swap before no issues as it was an earlier model 5E with a distributor running the 4EFTE ecu with some small modifications to the wiring. I have recently acquired a DIS model that runs no distributor and was wondering if it would be possible to do the same thing ? I am not 100% sure if I could put the distributor from the 4EFTE onto the 5E as it seems there is no provision to bolt it all up. For anyone that has done a 5E turbo build (retaining the 5E head with no distributor) how did you go about the wiring in an EP82 ? Thanks in advance Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ramses Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 (edited) It seems difficult to drive a ep82 Ecu for a twin coil DIS. Some has wired with the EMU to do this tip,and it is better to take a standalone ecu to do that... My friend has done this conversion with a Fueltech Ecu. With you 5efe Head, you will not be able to add a distributor .Take a 4efe or 4efte head with your 5efe botom end and you will be able to fit your harness and distributor.If you can't; take a standalone ecu Edited October 20, 2019 by ramses Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have a 4EFTE head I can use but was just wondering if I could do it without having to do that but it seems I will have to. Thanks for the confirmation mate Do you know if the crank signal is different on the DIS compared to normal 5E ? I have read somewhere about this but I couldn't find much information since the tercel forums are gone Edited October 20, 2019 by tiksie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stu Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 DIS will likely be hall effect sensors compared to the standard reluctor pickup in a distributor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
