Dan507 Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Duuude just throw a stock motor in there and get it running... this car is your demo car... its supposed to represent your work. you make some shit hot kits and this car really shows what your work is all about. Sell the suspension and loose half the cars looks and it will be a massive fail!the car is 99% done exterior wise, just paint up those last bits and you have a sorted car!! just remember your work isnt about engines its about providing some of the best kits available for the EP91/82's!I personally would throw a stock motor in enjoy your awesome car drive it round and rep your awesome work and then on the side take your time and build up THE perfect motor to match the sweet ride. perfection cant be made over night... dont throw away your hard work.... Rant over ;)This, she's looks too good to track anyway! Quote
GAZ@A&G_TUNING Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 STOOOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP, cant let a car bet ya man, get the block re honed and bew ring's and get it a base map on it asap!!! Quote
Idrees Posted June 20, 2011 Author Posted June 20, 2011 Cheers guys I really appreciate the support. The block is not worthy of a rehone, think they've rehoned it too much or something. When we removed piston and rod number 2, it just dropped straight out as if the rings were not even touching the bores!I'll see what I can sell this week and will work things out from the funds I have.

Idrees Posted June 21, 2011 Author Posted June 21, 2011 5E-FHTE Build!Ok the decision has been made, it's time to go 5E - but not forged. I had an immaculate 5EFHE engine sat in storage just in case of an 'emergency' and now it's going to come in handy.I am currently having some work carried out:Mild head port and polishValves reseatedFTE pistons fitted to FHE rodsI have ordered:Toyota OEM piston ringsToyota OEM engine gasket setToyota OEM 3ETE flywheel (so I can use the 4E Spec paddle clutch)I still need a set of engine bearings which I'm struggling to find, ideally wanting a set of ACL duraglides. I'll also be using a 1.2mm ZEP headgasket with ARP headbolts. The TD05 kit is staying and possibly the custom inlet too, so it could be an interesting set up Quote
Dan507 Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 Sounds pretty sick. How much boost can the 5efhe rods take then? Quote
Josh@TunerLifestyle Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 5E is better than no V!it rhymes cool stuff mate looking forward to seeing the fineshed car mate still think you should keep them sexy asss wheels! Quote
Idrees Posted June 21, 2011 Author Posted June 21, 2011 Sounds pretty sick. How much boost can the 5efhe rods take then?Depends on the map imo, I'll go for 1.4 bar and I think it will be fine if Race-tech Ricky maps it. 5E is better than no V!it rhymes cool stuff mate looking forward to seeing the fineshed car mate still think you should keep them sexy asss wheels!Cheers Josh, the wheels are staying! I've just dropped off the crank for a micro polish and I'm in the process of ordering ACL bearings, so it should be ready to be built soon hopefully! Quote
daz27gt Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 Glad to hear you haven't given up on it,what turbo are you gonna be using?I took mine out the other day after doing a hydraulic clutch conversion,and I can honestly say 5e + tdo4 is a good combo. Quote
Idrees Posted June 21, 2011 Author Posted June 21, 2011 I can imagine, a TD04 would give an awesome response on a 5E. I'm sticking with the TD05 for now, will see how it goes. I may swap it over with a TD04 later to compare the difference. Quote
Glanza_cl Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 Gooooood man! i look forward to some awesome updates.... dont make me write a massive rant out again! Quote

Idrees Posted June 22, 2011 Author Posted June 22, 2011 Huge thanks to Jayep91 who sorted me a set of ACL bearings, and I've ordered a new oil pump which means everything should be here by the weekend. A picture update!4E removed and strippedThe engine bay could do with a clean! 4EFTE & 5EFHE pistons with rods, the pistons are in the process of being swapped overSent these off for a clean too:Leaving me with the new victim!It needs a good clean and a lick of paint as you can see. I'll be taking it to the engineers to have the bores deglazed before painting it. It will most probably go black this time! Quote
snails ep91 Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 very jealous. this was my plan aswell if i manage to source a good 5efe/5efhe. will be really interesting to know how u get on as this is what im planning on now, td05 with 5efhte.good luck and hope it works this time!absolutely love this build is a true inspiration to try new things. more people need to do builds on starlets like this instead of the norm.sam.

jayep91 Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 No worries dude the bearings are on there way to you now just been posted Quote
Sparky Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Flying along mate, are you using the fhe head? Quote

You can have a test ride in it if we ever meet at any meets etc. No worries dude the bearings are on there way to you now just been postedTop man! Flying along mate, are you using the fhe head?Yeah Sparky, the head is currently at an engineers being ported and polished, 3 angle valve grinds and valves are being reseated at the same time. Quote
Idrees Posted June 23, 2011 Author Posted June 23, 2011 Gonna be immense!!Looking good Iddy mate!!! Cheers Zac, we'll meet up for sure once it's on the road!Quick picture of the beadwork while in progress, 3 angle valve grind was already done which baffled me a little. Maybe the FHE came like this from factory?! They're the only 2 (poor) pictures I managed to take, I'll get more once I have the head back! Quote
pr1ince Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Good to see you decided against breaking it . Make sure you bring it to birmingham would love to see it Quote
