wakeabby14 Posted December 26, 2019 Author Share Posted December 26, 2019 Not too much of an update, Got the gearbox cleaned up and painted, took alomost 2 hours with a dremel and wire wheels and then brake clener to get all the shite off the surfaces, then gave it a coat of paint ready for it to go in the car in the next 2 weeks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wakeabby14 Posted January 7, 2020 Author Share Posted January 7, 2020 (edited) managed to get engine in at the weekend, just waiting on a An4 oil feed for the turbo to be made so i can start it, will be putting rad in, intercooler piping, and final parts this weekend going to look mad when done. Also purchased a racespec intake manifold off facebook should have that by the end of the week too so my inlet mani will be for sale. enjoy Edited January 7, 2020 by wakeabby14 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know its going well fast haha, cant wait to get it mapped going to be at least 3 months for that though as the bill is rather high due to my ecu choice more updates this weekend keep an eye out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Djaniero Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Awesome build. Going to be a weapon to say the least. How easy/hard was it to find a low mileage 5e block, and what sort of money do they go far these days? Pm me if its easier. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sam44 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I was just reading about this engines stronger and the torque output on the dyno graphs are Really nice. I'm also very interested in this engine. How long have you been building this 1. Such attention to detail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Cheers mate cant wait to get it on the road only drove it for 25 miles since i bought it 4 months ago haha. I paid £450 for my complete 5efe engine had 30k miles on it from a friend of mine, easiest way of knowing an 5efe condition is pulling out of a paseo and trying to buy a paseo cheap off the internet ect. 20 minutes ago, Sam44 said: I was just reading about this engines stronger and the torque output on the dyno graphs are Really nice. I'm also very interested in this engine. How long have you been building this 1. Such attention to detail. I went with the 5efe due to being 1.5 and will help spool up my turbo a little bit easier. I've been building this engine up now for about 3 months. literally in the final steps. Im very ocd when it comes to details with cars want everything as clean as possible and looking like pure car porn haha just more expensive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sam44 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Looks great. I take it you attend alot of the shows and meets. It's very apparent the difference in power levels between the 2 engines. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I attend a lot of my local shows/meets in summer ect, i will be at jap fest this year and jae more than likely. i cant wait to feel the power of the 5e. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bean Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 nice build it should be a cool setup this when its up and running. Much better building the 5e it should drive really nice with that turbo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sam44 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 There's alot of pride in your work. I've found a 5efe block and crank near me 150quid. Looking at the engines torque levels I can only imagine how it will feel. And from what I'm reading don't suffer from cracked crank main caps like the 4efte/4efe.

Thanks for the info. I looked into going 5E briefly last year, but got lost in a sea of info about them lol. From what I can gather there were 2 variants...a normal 5E and a high comp one also? 5EFHE IIRC? As you said though, I think I would be better off buying a paseo as a donor car to begin with . I wasn't chasing silly power as I drive my GT (TD04) daily at times, but the additional torque would be nice in a street car I reccon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You can pick paseos up fairly cheap so you might be able to make a bit of cash back on scrap metal and parts ect. I want big but reliable power anything above 370 for me and ill be well happy with the result. More updates coming super soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wakeabby14 Posted January 9, 2020 Author Share Posted January 9, 2020 (edited) Got a little bit more done last night after work managed to do the following... Put external wastegate and screamer pipe on manifold Got the intercooler piping sorted at turbo side so its all connected Put on the turbo braided water lines Put in new iridium heat range 8 plugs Put HT leads on. here is how it looks now... OH and i also manages to snipe some Id 1050x Injector dynamics fuel injectors for £310 on ebay so thats saved me over £140.
