welcome to the club,

car looks really nice, has some really tasty parts on it too.

considering you have coilovers I'm surprised it's not slammed just a bit more looks a tad high.

[BenV]

[Asad]

welcome to the club,

I have the coilovers to be the exact same height when I had Tein S Tech springs which was 51mm drop all around.

I can't go too low as in Australia, I have gotten defect fines for car being too low (100mm is the minimum legal height)

[nicwan8]

Yes, I have a spare mild ported head from 4efte engine ready to be installed as soon as I can get a set of cams

I have been waiting for speedvision.com to stock on the cams for months now. If it doesn't come in 2-3 months time, I will have to custom make it from 4efte cams(regrind and grounded) to my intended specs.

Fingers cross and hopefully speedvision stock them up soon.

On top of that, I have a microtech LT-8 standalone ECU too to be installed once the engine head is installed. I'm also putting TRD thin headgasket (0.5mm) to help raise the compression.

Fog lights are from my local auto shop. Cost around AUD$50 over a year ago when I bought it

Yea. JDM bumper of an EP91. When I bought the car, it came with it. So lucky me

[nicwan8]

Yep. Kinda suck, laws here are very restrictive towards modifications

I know this is the wrong section, but I'm trying to keep the flow of this post.

Any ideas that the English have in their mind to increase hp in a 4efe ?

[Sparky]

Very fresh I am liking it

Welcome to UKSC

[nicwan8]

Thanks for all the positive reply. I feel very welcome here

i think they put one of them corolla inlet manifolds on them for a bit more power

[Sparky]

He has 4efte inlet VBoi!

Did that make a difference by the way??

Well, by theory, fte intake on fe will move the peak power up the rev range, and will give more at the top (at the cost of down low)

[SiCaln]

didnt think there was much diff in the ir construction, except fte ones are JDM and tend to be better made

[nicwan8]

The runners on the 4efte intake is shorter than stock 4efe.

[Sparky]

So did you notice a top end increase?

[nicwan8]

So did you notice a top end increase?

Yes, but not "much" as in still on stock ECU, rev cut is at 6200rpm.

I have an aftermarket ecu waiting for be install and I'll raise it to 7000 or maybe 7200 rpm.

then I will notice a big different.

[Sparky]

Yea same gains as using the Corolla 4efe inlet manifold all the power is moved up the rev range and you need to increase the rev limit to get full advantage, just watch those valve springs ;}
