scutch0 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 well as far as im aware toyota never made a 4efhe, they did a 5efhe which was in the sera and cynos which was a 1.5 version of the 4efe, with slightly uprated cams, higher compression, a 4efte inlet mani and throttle body, and a 4-2 manifold with a 2-1 downpipe. this was a 108 bhp engine.i attempted to fit this engine into my car earlier this year, and found out that it would need rewiring due to the idle and distributor set ups, if you really wanna go for a n/a conversion with little hassle go for a 5efe. it is basically a longer stroke 4efe engine and it uses basically the same electrical set up.Rich.

starletboy Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 surely if you get a 5e fe you could make it a fhe by putting a different head gasket to raise the compression and put an fte manifold and have the throttle body rebored and get a performance manifold from america as you can get loads out there and possibly work with a 4e too ????????????? :angry: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scutch0 Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 the fhe has stronger rods too, but i see what your saying.i'll comment more later when ive got some time.Rich. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

starletboy Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 yeah no what your sayin mate just wondered if it was possible could work on the paseo lump though rather than the 4e Quote Link to post Share on other sites
