Chops Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Ive been making plans for my 5efhe engine, and was wondering what the stock beefier rods are good for power wise. i was gonna aim for somewhere round the 250 mark with a tf035, will they be up to it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gorganl2000 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 there was a guy running 247whp on those 5efhe rods based on some forums, jamaican guys run up to 300whp on them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 they are waaaaay stronger then the 4efte pistons so your stuck on 1.2 bar max with forged pistons around 1.5 but then your better upgrading the rods to then this is at oem limiter !!!!! if your going to the 8k mark 1.2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chops Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 Ive just bought some forged 74.5mm je forged pistons, fte valvesprings, new valve stem seals, and a spanking new oem 1.2mm headgasket for my 5e. the plan is lighten, balance and machine every possible stock moving part ie crank, flywheel, pulley wheels to go with this, along with a couple more new consumables like bearings and gaskets. the turbo is gonna be a tf035 pushing as much torque all over the rev range as possible to make a daily driver response machine. what do peeps recon i can get from that sort of build, i was hoping for around 250 at the wheels.

5e colin Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 very much doable indeed get a acis manni to help spool the bigger hairdryer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wickedep Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 your good to go for that power (that you want). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This is good to hear . im also going to do alot of my own machine work on the cylinderhead, to make the engine breathe as efficiently as possible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 if you give me a discount :) i might get you to do my head to Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chops Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 absolutely mate . let me do mine first, so i can get a good look round an E series's cylinderhead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I dunno if a tf035 would make 250 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gorganl2000 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 isn't a tf035 smaller than a td04L? it may not be possible to get 250whp out of that size turbo i can say that a Td04L on a 5e is a nice combination for everyday usable response/power. may get u around 200-225whp with a great torque curve that 247whp was on shaved 5efhe pistons and stock rev limiter at 18/19 psi on a gt28rsiirc it was a mix of pump and race gas to stop detonation as the local pump gas was very very low quality Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chops Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 a tf035 is a tdo4 with a smaller exhaust turbine iirc, the plan was to have a fast spooling turbo with punch below 3k and a high compression ratio and other internal work to try and bring the power up at the other end. got the forged oversized pistons now, and some fte valvesprings. starting to accumulate the bits i need. anyone know if a standard gt turbo or 'learning' aftermarket ecu would fuel my proposed set up well?

gorganl2000 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 the tdo4L from the subaru on a 5e gives a great power band for everyday usage...very responsive.you will need to get a proper tune for your set up (fuel and ignition)...so at minimum an emu, or go standalone the 5e flows pretty good for a small engine, so having too small and exhaust housing will be a restriction Quote Link to post Share on other sites
