djhasin Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Hi. Just received my engine.. has the fte throttle body but for some reason has the breather hole on the front right corner (if your looking at the front of the engine) which I think is from a n/a engine? U reckon I got sold a fe engine or a fte one? Any way I can check it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

morgey Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 God knows lol.Ideally get yourself a 4efte one or make yourself a racespec cover with some AN fittings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 no its not better and wouldnt run with one.you need both breathers on a turbo , that I do know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 guys them part can be added onto a 4efe block so not a good way to check it its a turbo block or not could be a na with turbo bits bolted on if u check it that way ( like my engine ha ha ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
djhasin Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 so the only way to distunguish is via the oil pressure switch? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDMfreak Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 do you mean the piece of steel protruding from the block colin inline with the frost plug and running down to bottom of the curve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) no the bolt that bolts in the block there is only on turbo blocks ( at the point of stanley ) on non turbo blocks its blank Edited March 2, 2015 by 5e colin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDMfreak Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 what about this though a casting impression surely not there for no reason http://i801.photobucket.com/albums/yy299/boxy_boy/Photo0317_zpslvl9pwuw.jpg] Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fiddlersport Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 pop the sump off and have a look at the rods and crank if that helps..better to iddentify now now before fitting it ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
