hill_bill10 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 what needs to be done to convert an n/a with a 5efe? is it a simple as just swapping engines? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Billy SR Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 what needs to be done to convert an n/a with a 5efe? is it a simple as just swapping engines?pretty certain it's just a straight swap, you can even use the 4efe ecu as far as i'm surewas tempted about getting the transplant done to my sr but i heard the 4efe can be revved more, so i was wondering how worthwhile it was Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob_bower Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 yea you can use the 4e ecu there are a few sensors which need swapping about from what i undestand! hth Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hill_bill10 Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 can u use teh same wiring loom and everything? and is it worth doing or not? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LukeH Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Would have thought so if you can still retain the 4e ecu.im considering this swap too, but in no rush as my 4e is still strong.i beilive Joz on hear has done the 5e swap, maybe ask some advice from him.Need a custom exhaust too, i have a 5e obx and needed a custom center section as the obx sits lower that std 4e Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hill_bill10 Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 right ok, i think my valve stem seals have gone on mine because is blowin out smoke on start up so just weighin up my options Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jozinobi Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 All 5EFE Info is here Check out the thread with 32 posts for my input.In my opinion I would suggest an engine needs to be tuned whatever the reason (bolt on mods etc), even if it is running 'OK', it can be far better and more beneficial for the engine's performance and life once tuned (proper a/f ratios at the correct points of throttle without flatspots/knock etc). It is far more important once you start dabbling with the FTE as there is more margin for error especially with the unpredicatabilility of sudden boost pressures.I found even with piggyback tuning on the n/a engine, all I was getting was a better air/fuel curve, no power increase.Hope it all helps.Joz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mo3 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 ye i was going to do this to but the valves are messed up in my other spare 5e...so have to wait till i go forged Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hill_bill10 Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 thats awesome , thanks for the info, i really wanna do this now! but not got the cash Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hill_bill10 Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 would appreciate it if someone could find out what sensors need changing and also what tb and inlet mani would be the besst to run? with the 4efe they say to use a corolla mani, so i was wonderin would it be worth putting this on or is the standard 5e one better?

LukeH Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 FTE intake and TB gives the best gains imo. will need TPS (trottle possition sensor) to suit FTE TB. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hill_bill10 Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 what about the corolla one? would it be an imrpovement from the standard one? as i already have oen of those Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LukeH Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 As far as i can see (looked at pictures on google images ) the 5EFE uses the same intake manifold as the uk spec 4EFE. if so then yes, the corrola manifold will be an improvment of the standard 5E mani. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hill_bill10 Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 good news , and just another quicky one, when you say the sensors need swapping around, what do u mean? do u mean i need to put 5e sensors in place of the 4e sensors or the otehr way round? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hill_bill10 Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 anybody know what the sensors are that need changing for this transplant? my engine should be arriving soon need all the help i can get Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LukeH Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 search around in the information Joz has given.i remember reading 1 of the 2 sensor problems.Cant remeber what it is, but the information is there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
