dcbr Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Basically I've got a N/A EP82 and its got the 100hp 4EFE. I've been told that the gen1 engine is basically a GT engine with different Pistons. Obviously I don't want big boost.. I'm thinking 0.5/0.4 bar on a CT9, would the Pistons be able to handle this?I was advised to put a thicker headgasket, how thick? 1.5mm? 1.9mm?What would I need to do what I want? 4EFTE loom and ECU?

5e colin Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 (edited) for ease of setup fit 4efte gtt loom and ecu , map sensor , knock sensor , 4efte injectors , dizzy , coil/igniter there very strong engines !!!! im boosting a gi block in my gtt 10/11 psi no problem i ran more for a while to but its a bit risky i would get the 2mm gasket to lower the comp a tat ( its always safer ) you can always source 4efte pistons in the future and get them pressed to the rods :) as i have done now Edited May 17, 2015 by 5e colin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What about the head? And can I use a 4efte ECU without the loom? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 no cant use ecy without loom and sensors , diferent electronic setups there not compatible you could leave the electro stock and fit emanage thats the fastest way but your stock loom has no knock safety then !!! wish i dont like also if u swap to gtt stuff there will be no need for mapping springs will be ok til 6 if your going higher then 4efte springs will need instaling Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chief Quimby Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Dont worry about springs at this low boost. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 If you get a GT turbo engine ancillary loom this plugs direct into your Gi engine bay fusebox.The engine ancillary loom is the one with the injectors, starter, alternator etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
