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?

Chief Quimby Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 (edited) If you want to do it cheap, do like my friend. Shave of 1,5mm on piston, He has been running like this a few years, 223hp with a tb28 turbo.Or leave it stock, and boost 0,4 bar.

And will I need a 4EFTE ECU Quote Link to post Share on other sites
