Jozinobi Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 Cheers Johnny I may be taking her to be tuned by Emanage sooner than I thought just so that Im not running too rich or lean.The FHE stuff will really bump up the compression. Im considering driving her for a week to run her in then take her up for a nice base tune. I have used mainly all new components but the head, valves, rods, pistons and cams are 2nd hand low mileage items. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

5T4R7ET N/A Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 what sort of power u rekon this will produce with all the mods that u have done? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jozinobi Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 Its unknown mate which is what makes it all so exciting.I'll be getting a full dyno session etc so you'll have to wait til then.The good thing is everything is going to be tuned properly with the emanage which totally defeats all of the bolting on I've been doing these few years. The FHE items themselves are already a healthy bump and the FHE head has had the works done to it.Its not all about power tho, I think it will be different with the lightened flywheel, lsd, underdrive crank pulley and other stuff I have waiting to go. Don't forget the itbs will be the main difference maker however the setup is already very extensive. The car is light as hell too hence it already flies once it gets going at its current spec.Assumption is the mother of all f**k ups hence Im not gonna speculate Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rmsnoel Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Joz lad have you pictures anywhere of the fhe rods and pistons? Also have you seen the rods that came out of the uk 5efe. I cant wait to see what you make, Im so glad your havin her tuned without the ITB's to see this engine build is going to change FE N/a tuning around the world lad. Does EMU rev the rev limit??

Jozinobi Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 Project Red EP91 5EFHE Rebuild UpdateEngine fully built bar the timing/auxilary belts and clutch.The old flywheel weighed at least twice the weight of the lightened Aasco item I have replaced it with.The crank pulley was also quite heavy (had harmonic damper attached to it) in comparison to the ASP underdrive pulley I will be using.With all this loss of rotational weight I can forsee the acceleration of the car is going to be fairly improved.Previous 5EFE Head (Replaced with fully loaded 5EFHE head)Previous Head Gasket (Replaced with TRD 0.5mm HeadgasketPrevious 5EFE Rods & PistonsPhoto of one of my spare 5EFHE rods/pistons (Trust me they are way beefier, like Hamburger vs Big Mac)Better 5E/FHE rods comparisons to come later.Just waiting on QUAIFE'd gearbox and some painted engine brackets.Spare rocker cover also being painted.The block will be cleaned of rust and painted.Interesting facts are the 5EFE and 5EFHE pistons look very similar, they could even be the same.Of course a 4EFE piston is different.Having seen firsthand, the 5EFE and 5EFHE sumps are also the same. Contrary to beliefs that the FHE one has some baffling inside, it is the exact same as the 5EFE one.The bottom of the FHE sump was more rust free so it was used in place of the old one.More updates to come soon, all going well the engine should be running early next week.

Does EMU rev the rev limit??I will get some decent comparison photos soon Noel mate.The EMU can alter the rev limit, add and trim fuel and also has launch control settings to name a few of its features.Thanks for your enthusiasm and support towards my project man.Talk soon.
