starletmadyo Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Hey everyone looking for a full lust of what Il need and to do ino yes it probably is cheeper buy the 4efte but this is a project to learn how to and build a 4efe turbo . Thanks in advance for any help givin 😊 Quote
funny onion Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 I'll start the list but i've never done the conversion myself but i think you'll need the following parts from a 4EFTE; - ECU- Oil filter housing- Sump- Exhaust manifold and turbo, decat and exhaust to suit- Injectors and fpr (can't remember if they're the same on the efe to the fte but i assume fte ones are bigger)- Some form of intercooler I'm not sure if the 4efe have a knock sensor but if not they would have the casting for one to be fitted. The fte ecu won't like it if there's no knock sensor signal. Bear in mind that the compression is higher too so don't run silly boost. There's probably loads more but one of the converted lads is better off telling you what else you need. Quote
5e colin Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) how big is the budget and whats the goal ??? you can turbo a 4efe really cheap keep 4efe eletronics and just fit a emanage blue and get it mapped just bolt on a turbo kit and exhaust to the block and weld a bung to the sump and fit bigger injectors then over time slowly upgrade everything like fly/clutch exh but before you do that ,AT a minimum change conrod bearings because they fail so many times on older engines Edited March 23, 2015 by 5e colin Quote
starletmadyo Posted March 23, 2015 Author Posted March 23, 2015 Thanks for that ... 5e Colin where would you get conrod bearings to be honest I don't have a big budget but Il stretch as much as I can to have something to last Quote
starletmadyo Posted March 23, 2015 Author Posted March 23, 2015 Would I be beter of with glanza conrod bearing's Quote
funny onion Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Would I be beter of with glanza conrod bearing's Glanza/GT/4efe rod bearings are all the same. The cranks are the same in all variations of the 4e engine. Quote
starletmadyo Posted March 23, 2015 Author Posted March 23, 2015 Thanks what's the max boost I could run? Also is that all the stuff Il need? Quote
daniel_g Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Theres a couple older threads on this, ive written a list a somewhere.There are a few different ways to do the conversion.Also depends what you are actually doing, so you know what route to take. Ie. are you just putting a FE in your Glanza or turboing a N/a starlet ? Quote
starletmadyo Posted March 23, 2015 Author Posted March 23, 2015 do i need to change ecu and what exactly does a map sensor do? Quote
Gumball89 Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 im looking to do the same my idea was to get a turbo.manifold.pipe the oil in i was thinking from a sandwedge plate on the oil filter and return to the rocker cover.and get a map converter (dunno where from tho)and change the injectors for glanza ones would this work?

5e colin Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 do i need to change ecu and what exactly does a map sensor do? no just fir a emanage blue it has its own map sensor just run the na stuff Quote
5e colin Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 no but then it will need a loom swap and ecu swap to 4efte stuff with al the sensors etc etc Quote
starletmadyo Posted March 24, 2015 Author Posted March 24, 2015 Origjt would ut be more reliable with a glanza loom. Etc? Quote
daniel_g Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 no but then it will need a loom swap and ecu swap to 4efte stuff with al the sensors etc etcI converted a lads EP91 for him last year, i did it this way with all the looms from a 98spec V into a 98 N/a.Picked up everything from another lad breaking his V.Was done in an afternoon.

starletmadyo Posted March 25, 2015 Author Posted March 25, 2015 Do any off yr know are the valve srings in a 2e-e same as a 4efe? Quote
ashley newbert Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Love it when a girl knows what she's talking about when it comes to mods...not meaning to be sexist Quote
turbomad Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 im looking to do the same my idea was to get a turbo.manifold.pipe the oil in i was thinking from a sandwedge plate on the oil filter and return to the rocker cover.and get a map converter (dunno where from tho)and change the injectors for glanza ones would this work?Return to the rocker wouldn't work unless you fitted a pump as return is gravity returned Quote
turbomad Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I have all the bits in the boot of my corolla only thing stopping me is i cant be arsed pulling sump as its out of test on sat so could possibly sell the set-up Quote
Chief Quimby Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) I did that on my old 4efe engine, just installed turbo kit, and 4efte injectors, and mapped it with mapconverter(35 pounds)It had 290000km on clock, ran it for almost 2 years Edited March 27, 2015 by Chief Quimby Quote
