Jay Grainger Posted March 2, 2015 Author Posted March 2, 2015 This is going to sound stupid, so forgive me...Does that block include the head?Again, sorry if that's a really stupid question, I'd just rather be safe than sorry Quote
patman Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 It's ok mate when you ask for a block then that's the block in the link, make sure you ask for an engine 4e-fte glanza one your after 👍 Quote
Jay Grainger Posted March 2, 2015 Author Posted March 2, 2015 Thanks for the help guys, I'm hoping that by the end of this month I'll have the Glanza running againThen its time to start the build thread and get her looking great for show season Quote
Jay Grainger Posted March 3, 2015 Author Posted March 3, 2015 Still waiting to hear back from the guy, sadly he's not on any forums or anything, so I've gotten in touch with Gumtree in hopes of getting his contact detailsOn the plus side, hopefully found a block with all pistons etc so I can start to rebuild the car.

patman Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 That's fantastic mate you do realise it's not all straight forward building these engines? They have different size bearings/Pistons etc you have to check everything down to a thousand of an inch think it is Quote
mart1 Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) Still waiting to hear back from the guy, sadly he's not on any forums or anything, so I've gotten in touch with Gumtree in hopes of getting his contact detailsOn the plus side, hopefully found a block with all pistons etc so I can start to rebuild the car. I would get in touch with the guy before you do anything or buy anything, get that spare engine off him:-) Edited March 3, 2015 by mart1 Quote
Jay Grainger Posted March 3, 2015 Author Posted March 3, 2015 Building it will be no problem, I work in precision engineering so I'm used to working with micro tolerances lol.And as for getting the spare engine, if he's bodged the 5e I reckon he's done similar if not worse to the 4e lol Quote
Jay Grainger Posted March 3, 2015 Author Posted March 3, 2015 Yeah I'm gonna have to triple check everything to make sure nothing is missing... That'd be expensive and embarrassing to say the least haha Quote
Jay Grainger Posted March 10, 2015 Author Posted March 10, 2015 Found a complete engine with everything minus ancillaries.Only downside is I need a distributor. I doubt the one from the 5ef will work? Quote
5e colin Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 1 from the 5efhe works 5efe wont there internal coil ( the 1s i know of ) but why not use the 1 from the glanza that you have already ??? Quote
Jay Grainger Posted March 11, 2015 Author Posted March 11, 2015 The Glanza was running a (badly done) 5efte conversion, so I've unfortunately only got parts from a knackered 5e engine lol.JDM EP sadly don't have any in stock, anybody on here got one? I have cash waiting Quote
JDMfreak Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 send me a pic of one your after mate has a breakers i can try source you one Quote
