Kennedy Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 Its possible i believe..wouldn't it be easier buying an FTE though? Quote
project82 Posted July 26, 2009 Author Posted July 26, 2009 Its possible i believe..wouldn't it be easier buying an FTE though?yea asupose but cba swapping engines nd loom ect loljust wondering if i could bang turbo on ind feeds ect.. ;lol Quote
Kennedy Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 ^^wouldnt have though it was a simple as that Quote
ollie1.3i Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 I dont think it would do the engine anygood because of the compression rates and all tht shit, but i mayb wrong ?Ollie Quote
ste91 Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 There's a guide on AU Starlet Club I think.But really it works out cheaper and more effective to just do a 4EFTE swap. Quote
Starlet__SR Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 It's not worth running the risk of killing your engine.You'll spend more money adapting it than it is to actually buy an engine and install it yourself.Damien Quote
Nanglebadger Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 i considered it and was promptly talked out of it by people who know alot more than i do.Phil. Quote
Starlet__SR Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 It's a lot of hard work to convert an N/A, especially for the minimal benefits, you won't be able to run much boost on the standard internals, though I have no doubt they'll take it, just save your money, buy all the bits, persuade a mate to give up his weekend, get it done:)Damien Quote
Steve GT Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 Yes i agree its not worth the risksbuy a 4efte and bang it in Quote
Starlet SR Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 in theory it could work but the risks are high and the fact the 4e skinny con rods cant take the strainbetter jus throwing a fte engine in less hassle Quote
Idrees Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 As the others have said, not worth the hassle and probably not much cheaper either. Quote
JackStar Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 Its alot easier to put the 4efte in than turbo the 4efe, because most of the internals are different between the two engines, it only took a few days to get my 4efte in and running.Just my 2p's worthJack Quote
MadMan Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 you could do it but you wont be boosting for long your pistons wont take it and it is more work to get urs turbod and running right than it is to rip it oot and put the turbo one in Quote
