so do i remove the charcoal filter or not? opinions?

[raffa_mk]

5e yeaaah!!! Yeh get rid of the charcoal filter, u don't need it

[Russleh]

Yeh 5e tuning should be more rewarding than the 4e ;)

[hill_bill10]

Everybody meet Harold, Harold this is everybody, say hi

oh! and look what i found hiding in my engine bay

the team

and finally, shes out

[miib14]

nice one tom...

cant wait to see this!

just to confirm, read somewhere that the 5efe have a longer stroke compared to the 4e? or is that just the 5efhe that has a longer stroke?

[hill_bill10]

no yeh your correct, the 5r has a longer stroke, im assuming thats what makes it a 1500cc compared to the 4e's 1300cc

[yaristurbo]

I heArd they're good on independent throttle bodies

[Russleh]

yeh thats what makes the displacement difference have a look at the bhp/tonne chart and joz's old 5e is on there with quad itbs etc decent power.

ok update on today proceedings:

had a bad day today, firstly the weather has been dreadful, went to put up the gazebo i borrowed off my dad, wen i opened the bad it was just a bag of sides :@ proper let down, so had to go buy one.

anyway got a gazebo up. then noticed that were the worm drive should go is a digital output, so that delayed us.

then when comparing engine mounts noticed 2 were different, so had to change them over however couldnt change one as couldnt get bottom crank pulley off to take the plastic cover off to get to a bolt!

so yeh anyway engine is in on 2 engine mounts,

hopefully things will go better 2morrow

[hill_bill10]

ok update,

so got the engine in and everything plugged up.

just want to check, is there anyway of checking the bottom half of the engine is timed up right with the top half without having to remove the crank pulley?(mainly because it wont come off its on there fairly tight and in trying to get it off just concerned it may not be right)

[Idrees]

If you remove the top cambelt cover, shine a torch down to the bottom inner crank tooth pulley and you can see the timing marks.

[hill_bill10]

ok so that shows me were the bottom of the engine is, how do i know if the top of the engine is inline with it? im just nervous of smashin my pistons into the valves.

[The Toffinator]

You wont anyway as its a non interference engine;)

[Idrees]

Exactly, that won't happen. To check the top, remove the cambelt cover and look at the hole next to the 5E mark in the cam pulley. Mark that up with the top indent on the engine. Sorry for the poor description, I'm half asleep. This explains better:

[hill_bill10]

i read on autodata that it was an interference head, thats why i was so nervous.

thanks iddy that makes sense

[hill_bill10]

update checked the timing , it was about 3 teeth out as we thought. so sorted it and low and behold...... SHE LIVES :)

however theres quite a serious vibration giong through the car, think a mount might not be right so gonna take a look when the weather improves .

[shorty]

good man! and yea if its just vibration its most likely a mount is either worn or loose.

[Asad]

Did you ever find out what was wrong with your old engine??

[ryan lang]

have you used the 5e ecu?

[hill_bill10]

no not had chance to strip it down and look yet, but it got left out in the rain the other day so its a bit rusty now haha

and no ryan, used the 4e ecu and loom

[hill_bill10]

it LIVES!!!

after many long weeks of rain rain and more rain, finally got some motivation with this sunny weather to finish off the transplant.

It wasnt as straight a swap as i would of liked, there were a few problems and things needed swapping from one engine to another these being :- side engine mount, gearbox mount, gear linkage mounts, solenoid, thermostat housing and the throttle body

other issues i had were that the throttle cable is slightly too long (still trying to figure out how to solve this)

but took it for a test drive yesterday and it seems to run perfectly, feels much more responsive than the 4E however i have been driving my mums 2.0 diesel picasso so anything will feel responsive after driving that lol

anyway heres a few pics of the reasons why i needed to change certain things

Gear Linkage Mounts, Left is off 4E Box , Right is off 5E Box

Solenoid, the connections are different, Left is off 4E, Right is off 5E

Side Engine Mount, Left is off the 5E, Right is off the 4E

[hill_bill10]

having an issue with the idle tho, its idling at around 2000rpm at full temp, have checked for any air leaks and cant find any and have also wound the idle screw all the way in and its no better

any ideas guys?

[Guest Enzo]

sorry cant help on the idling issue, sounds like a sensor,

amazed at the differences for the gearbox cables, thats probs why i cant engage sixth gear on my na

also the gearbox mount being that different

[GlanzaJim]

earth? tempture goes up if its not earthed,

and if you put rolla mani on with the 5e would this produce 95++??

if there 88bhp standard? or..
