ste91 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 According to Wikpedia the bore on the 4EFE's found in EP91's is .3 mm bigger than the 4EFTE/1st gen 4EFE.It's certainly possible but if you're going to do a rebuild you might aswell use oversized pistons and have the block rebored anyway.Wether it's exactly identical other than that, I don't know.

LukeSR Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 If your going to do the N/A to EFTE swap, might aswell just buy a full EFTE engine Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rmsnoel Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 wikipedia is shit. IOt was written by a 13year old school boy copying wrong figure from the netIts always wrong.Some 4efe have fte stamped cranks, only real difference is the three holes you need to tap into block at oil filter to hold fte sandwich plate although you dont have to. Even the casting for the knock sensor is on the back of the block, there all the bloody samee as far as im concerned. Plus you'll always find a 31,000miles from new granny spec 4efe in breakers yard to build with.Use NEW toyota pistons Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joel_ep91 Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 thanks for the info noel . i was thinking of doing the oil filter relocation and cooler setup if the build goes ahead and thinking might aswell do forged rods and pistons while im doing it will take a little long to save up and build but worth it in the long run me thinks?
