Chops Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Ive been wondering about fitting 5e cams to my 4efte for a while, had a look around on here and couldn't find much on them so i thought id start a thread.Do all 5e engines have the higher lift and duration cams i want, or only the 5efhe? and what kind of power gains would i get from them with all the usual basic mods ie decat, fmic, ported ct9 running 11psi? Oh and anyone know what it does to your fuel economy? last car i fitted cams to had terrible economy after they went in, no matter how it was driven lol! Quote
AdamB Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Only the FHE has the cams with slightly more duration and lift. Yes your mpg will be worse, and you will probably gain about 10bhp at the top end at a push. I personally don't see the need to swap the stock cams, the limitations don't lay here. Quote
Chops Posted January 12, 2014 Author Posted January 12, 2014 moved the whole powerband up about 1000 rpm last time, but that was n/a so i dont know if the turbos spool time would keep the powerband roughly the same on a starlet. Quote
