tr1cky Posted April 23, 2007 Posted April 23, 2007 any 1 know anything bout puttin the 5efe in a starlet, my 5efe came this mornin but the distributor has been taken off an the ignition leads were cut. are the 4efe leads and dizzy the same, also any thing i need to swap frm the 4e to the 5e. im gonna put the 4e gearbox on it so do i use the 5e or 4e flywheel an clutch? cheers Quote
tr1cky Posted April 23, 2007 Author Posted April 23, 2007 Pretty sure the dizzy will be the same. You could do with the 5E ECU,but ive heard of problems with the immobiliser. Your original ECU will work fine (so ive heard)I dont know about the flywheel,sorry. Ill be finding out soon though,im doing this swap very soon ye im gonna run it off the same ecu, sum 1 said you gotta swap the sumps so the exhaust can go around it but then some said you dont av to. im gonna be doin the swap this saturday hopefully so if all goes well il let you know what i had to change. this dizzy better wrk lol Quote
tr1cky Posted April 23, 2007 Author Posted April 23, 2007 any 1 else done this swap got any info would be great Quote
GeeUK Posted April 23, 2007 Posted April 23, 2007 Aint the clutch and flywheel a different application? Quote
tr1cky Posted April 23, 2007 Author Posted April 23, 2007 the clutches on the 4e an 5e are the same not sure bout the flywheel though Quote
Martin E Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 The flywheel is different, the clutch is the same...I have a flywheel thats fit both 4E and 5E and it have 8 holes... one set matches the 4E and one set matches the 5E..Im thinking about a swap with the 5EFHE (110 HK) engine, since my 4EFTE needs a rebuild...

whitestarlet Posted May 4, 2007 Posted May 4, 2007 when i swapped the engines over the sump where the same. the 4efe gearbox was a straight swap. and the clutch and flywheel that i used where the 5efe Quote
tr1cky Posted May 5, 2007 Author Posted May 5, 2007 done the swap, shes a beast. gotta wait til my bans up now though to take it for a proper rip lol. all i had to do was swap the throttle boddies because the tps is different and swap the water temp sensor because there diff connectors, everything else went straight in. im pretty sure the flywheels are the same but the clutches definately are. i used the 4e clutch wiv the 5e flywheel, it started like the engines never been out.

whitestarlet Posted May 21, 2007 Posted May 21, 2007 someone who know their stuff about starlets will notice straight away. but basically everything is the same except the height!! Quote
Flipside Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 I know I am reviving a very old post but here goes. Can I just change the head and block of my 4efe to a 5efe? My 4efe uses 2 coil packs instead of a distributor? Can this work or do I have a lot of other stuff to do? Quote
