StarletMad Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 What is the difference can you run a 4efe engine with a turbo? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 yeah but you'll have to retard the timing by quite a bitthe difference is the pistons and valve springs between the newer engines Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletMad Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 4efte it is then cant be dealing with faffin about Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A L 3 X Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 How about running a 4-efte as non turbo, say if u swapped the exh mani to a n/a one and the intake piping to miss out the i/c?Always wondered that for like say if u sent away turbo to be rebuilt? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 it would run like shite because of the low compression the FTE pistons give Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletMad Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 ive got an 82 but basically desperate for an engine cant find any reasonable ones lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A L 3 X Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 it would run like shite because of the low compression the FTE pistons giveAh right, wondered why the didnt just put an unturboed fte in the uk starlet lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micky boy Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 If you got a JDM 4efe 100ps engine then yeah you can turbo that as the pistons are the same as a turbo just uses a thicker head gasket Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dickydan Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Micky so your saying the glanza s thats all u need to swap on it is the exhaust mani? And ofc add the turbo.. An maybe an ecu change?? Or atleast a map? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 no, dont think the pistons are the same mate. just buy a 4efte and do it rightthe 4efe block doesnt have the knock sensor port either theres a whole list of why you shouldnt, but it is do-able, just dont expect to be able to run anywhere near 4efte boost and poower through one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micky boy Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Over the last few months doing abit more research etc i have found out that the gen1 jdm 4efe hasnt got the same pistons as the 4efte everything elss is the same though! my mistake Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dickydan Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Ahh right no problem so ud have to switch the engine really to be sure it could hold the boost fine without cracking a piston or completely blowing the engine lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micky boy Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Yeah it would be more worth while lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
