nicwan8 Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 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 ;}Sparky,You seem to know your stuff! We should chat online Yea. I'll be using 4efte valve springs to overcome the problem. They are "tougher" from experiments done by the Aussie blokes Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nicwan8 Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 Hi guys,Any other of you are into NA 4efe? Would be great if we can exchange ideas ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Enzo Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 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. used to love the na 4e, you seam to have all bases covered, have you thought of an underdrive pully,also a 5e-fe engine is such an easy swap,you really have covered most avenues, what about a header/exhaust manifold?six speed gearbox perhaps, they are all ideas Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Hey, NA boy here......as far as the engine mods i have only done the corolla manifold noticed a v-big difference no blank spots anymore when changing from 1-2 and it pull`s much stronger and faster. cold induction is next with a remus backbox and flanged decat insert pipe thing...im only really aiming for 100bhp or so but i would go further depending on cost/gain ratio as there has to be a point where cost doesn`t justify the gain.....when the engine dies 4EFTE it is!FTM Quote Link to post Share on other sites
