4a-fe engine swap

[NewbieLewby]

Anyone know of ever putting one in a starlet?

Cheaper alternative to a 4age maybe

[daniel_g]

It has probably been done somewhere but seems like a lot of work for very little gains.

[NewbieLewby]

Yeah maybe

Just asking Cus I saw one go on eBay for 99p lol

Same about of work as a 4age swap (they use the same mounts) And for 110hp rather than 125-165hp

I would save yourself the hassle and spend some money on a 5efe or a 5efhe and whack a emb on there and get it mapped.

Isit it worth putting a 5efe into a starlet when the 5e is only 89hp? Surely if the paseo engine is a near on swap everyone would be doing and with a rolla mani sure it be over 100hp?

[morgey]

Well not overly but its better than the 4efe lol

5efe on 4efe sensors 4-2-1 exhaust and rolla inlet emb would be easiest way to get the most out of an n/a E series without going crazy.

Or obviously strap a tubby to one lol

[GlanzaJim]

Hmm so why hasnt anyone done this lol? The loom must near on be the same

[morgey]

Chris green did a 5efe or fhe build on itbs think its getting work done atm last i heard

Better gains to be had with the 4E or 5E i reckon, get the 4E 100ps ECU and stuff then thats almost 100bhp standard before you mod it. Or get a 5E with all that acis inlet mani setup and add a few bits will probably push 120bhp. Can find a box with pretty short ratios, slam that on and it will be a pretty nippy wee car
