Pierros Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Sorry just meant how hard was it to add the turboI haven't installed the turbo yet mate, I'm running in the engine right now and will have it as an n/a for a little while, until I get the money for a custom exhaust, d/p and i/c piping (thats the only things left). I won't be hard thought just a simple swap, as I have prepared everything exactly for this sole purpose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
siren676 Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 Sounds good, ill probably do that as well in the future, seeing as this is my daily driver and i cant afford to keep it off the road for long.Have you put yours down the 1/4 mile? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm still in the run-in process of the 5E-FHE (I made a complete overhaul before I install it), but I don't find a reason to take to to the 1/4, as the car is more concentrated on handling and attacking corners rather than running on the strip. Although when I make the final fine adjustments in the ecu I'll take to a dyno road to see the results Quote Link to post Share on other sites
siren676 Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share Posted April 28, 2011 Forgot to update this.I received the engine in January and its been sitting at my dads work even since.I recently gave it a decent service with new cambelt, idler, tensioner, front and rear crank seals, cam & rocker cover seal also did the water pump.Im thinking whether to get the engine put in with my current gearbox(c140 4spd) or wait a few more weeks and get a c52 at the same time as install which is still about a month away.
