Chops Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 bought a 5e engine from Adamb on here today, found its got a silly holographic sticker with original smr engine written on it. anyone dealt with them, give an opinion? Quote
Chops Posted March 1, 2014 Author Posted March 1, 2014 no lol, i did that. I was hoping for at least one good review, but i dont think thats happening. ah well, full rebuild it is. Quote
RobSR Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) I fitted one to my mates GT that they built. Didn't last all that long. Looked like a bog standard engine just painted up. Sorry mate Edited March 1, 2014 by RobSR Quote
jimmymac101 Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 Have you spoke to Adam about it ??? James Quote
Chops Posted March 1, 2014 Author Posted March 1, 2014 He didnt know much about it, said hed bought it as a 5efhe made from various parts from 3 and 5es. im gonna go through it slowly to check everything thoroughly and finish it to a high standard. im looking for around 250/300hp area, what kind of turbo would get me that kind of power from a 5e with minimal lag and stress on things?

Chops Posted March 2, 2014 Author Posted March 2, 2014 no idea, ive got nowhere to open it up and look atm. i doubt it Quote
AdamB Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 I bought it as a standard engine, was told it was a FHE but it has a 3E marked crank and I didn't measure the cams to be sure of what it was. I would certainly never ever try and run the engine, it would be stripped down and rebuilt, I was going to forge it capable of anout 800bhp. Td04 will get you that target Quote
Chops Posted March 2, 2014 Author Posted March 2, 2014 theres rust on the valves i wasnt impressed with, but i can go to town on it cause its not got to go on my car anytime soon. having said that, my current engine shat a considerable amount of oil out the exhaust on the dyno yesterday, so its on its way out lol.

ryan lang Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 i bought a 5efhe head recently which had an smr sticker on it havent had it apart but robbed the cams from it for my car which has now been written off Quote
Chops Posted March 2, 2014 Author Posted March 2, 2014 hope mine has those cams, i can slap em on my 4e in the mean time Quote
