how hatrd is it to use the bottem end of a 5efe in my starlet turbo what pistons do they use and would you need to upgrade the crank and rods

[SiCaln]

well as far as that goes u use 5e rods with the 4e pistons u have but its not as easy as that go and look on tgtt theres a lot to it ask Rick

[StarletRick]

its really not as simple as you may think mate.

you cant use the ct9 manifold with the 5e. or the ct9 for that matter, its too small. therefore you need a new downpipe.

answer to thatr is a new turbo kit.

theres a grand right there.

then you need new rods. 5e rods are not good enough. thats another 500 quid.

new turbo will probably require new pistons for the higher boost. thats 350 quid.

you need to have the block notched for the pistons. another 100 quid.

you also need the 4e flywheel re drilled to fit the 5e as the crank is different.

more money.

im working on one now. and i have to say, the ammount of money i am spending is obscene. i wish i hadnt started.

unless you are aiming at HUGE power. id steer clear of the 5e.

4e is a good block. and is capable of making alot of power.

[SiCaln]

and there u have it

[Nanglebadger]

And there u have it, Rick has spoken! I'd often contemplated turboin a 5e, sounds like a LOT of work tbh, lookin forward to seein your progress Rick mate.

thats ok it just me car is going to be of the road for a year and was going to spennd shit loads on it lol

[Sparky]

Whys that shaun mate???

What you gonna be motoring around in for a year???

[Guest Enzo]

ok i dont think it will cost an arm and a leg to anyone that is compitent and capable of building an engin like you shaun.

i intend on building mine from scratch myself.

and it all depends on what results your trying to achieve,

if you start with a 5efhe engine you dont need the rods as the rods on this engine are way thicker then the fte

a ct9b can stil be used(what i intend on using if i dont have a hybrid)

theres a good chance you wont need to hone the bores aswell,

usa a larger(212 as oposed to 200) 5e flye wheel clutch and presure plate,

i do understand that a 4e is capable of making enuf power but with me i plan on gettin as close to 210-20 bhp the easiest way with the small turbo

and a 5e with 5EFHE rods along with a heavily brethed on head should help me do this on a ct9 with no lag and power straight away for an every day streetable setup

well see how it pans out,

sweet cheers mate dont no what car to get mate lol

Use a 5E-FHE engine, 4e-fte pistons, 2 cylinderhead packings or a HKS 2mm packing. Grinded Camshafts. A turbo to fit 240 HP and a other exhaust manifold. And a custom exhaust system. And of course a other ECU.

The 5e engine fits on the 4e gearbox. So you just need a other clucht.

That will give you 200 HP with 0.9 bar. 13 lps. At least. Remember not to push the engine to the edge, when driving at high speeds, or you pistons wont hold to it.

Good look.

i like the sound of that, seems like a good setup,is this what your running ???

[klyfax]

Hehe no I'm after High rpms not high NM. I know a guy that is going for that setup, but if it works? Don't know...
