Mike@TD.co.uk Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Afternoon folks, Just a quick thread showing a cool little project we got involved in a few months ago. Oli has set about turning his UK EP91 into a Glanza, and decided to turbo his 4EFE for something to do in the meantime! The engine is an average mileage 4EFE, with no internal changes. The sump has been modified to accept a turbo oil return, and the 4EFTE oil filter & thermostat housings have been used to gain the oil feed and water lines for the turbo. 4EFTE Flywheel & Clutch have been installed also. 4EFTE Injectors have been used along with an EManage Blue Kit, Turbo kit is one of our TD04L Kits with a 0.6bar wastegate spring. The car also has a Corolla G6 gearbox fitted which works really well in the little Starlet chassis. The end result was 170bhp with 172lb.ft torque. Manual windows, No sunroof, No aircon and no power steering keep the weight nice and low and its really good fun to drive! We'll be turning the boost up after xmas and see how much the stock engine will handle. Kind regards Mike JonesTuning Developments Ltd Quote
jimmymac101 Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Looks fooking epic that's two NA turbos in two months, got any more pics ? James Quote
daniel_g Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Yeah !! Quality stuff, love seeing these. I'm doing one too Theres no good FTEs left i reckon lol. Quote
morgey Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 I'm going to laugh when it turns out 4efe's can handle more boost than fte's Quote
Jamie5414 Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 What's the rough price for the kit you do + tuning & fitting? (same spec as above) Quote

Jamie5414 Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 Thought about doing yours Jamie ? Yes mate I've been considering it for a bit now and really want to do it, I'll be hoping to use TD as well, just need to get the ball rolling and see how much it will cost altogether! Quote
daniel_g Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 Yes mate I've been considering it for a bit now and really want to do it, I'll be hoping to use TD as well, just need to get the ball rolling and see how much it will cost altogether!You should do it, no point getting an FTE because it'll just be fucked lol. Turbo'ing FE's is where its at haha. Quote
Mike@TD.co.uk Posted December 11, 2013 Author Posted December 11, 2013 How far do you think you can push it Mike ? Looking at going to 0.8bar and seeing how it copes with it. Should make a nice amount more power. Cheers Mike Jones Tuning Developments Ltd Quote
daniel_g Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 Looking at going to 0.8bar and seeing how it copes with it.Should make a nice amount more power.CheersMike JonesTuning Developments LtdSounds promising, has the HG been changed at all, still on the 9.6-1 comp ratio yeah ?

whitestar Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 Lovin' this. Going to slam a ct9 from my glanza to my NA next spring if I can source all the parts by then and run ~0.5 bar on it Quote
Mattysr Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 Sounds like a good set up and great gains will have to think about doing my sr sometime ! Quote
mikeyboo Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 does it take much work to do this? would a gt sump save time and money? Quote
Jamie5414 Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 Was the Ignition harness & 3 bar MAP sensor needed with this conversion Mike for the EMB? Need to get these from yourselves if they are! Quote
iGilmour Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 Sorry for jumping in on an old post, But how much does this set up cost? I have a uk spec ep91 with glanza kit and was going to get a fte engine and do a conversion that way, But would save a whole lot of money, Cheers Quote
richardc9052 Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 You won't save money but you end up with a better setup if you where to drop a 4efte in at a later date or you could just keep replacing the 4efe if it blows which none of these have yet Quote
