Jasonp-glanza-s Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Ok so I've been told my valve stem seels have gone and i dont want to be rebuilding the engine so im giving up on this engine,So would a uk spec engine fit stright in and me have no running issues with my glanza s ecu as i beleive the ecu is different.Or is a 5efe a Possibilty?ThanksJason Quote
Starlet__SR Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 So, you're swapping an entire engine just for the sake of 16 valve stem seals? What happens if you buy another engine that shortly down the line develops the same problem? Another engine again? The price of a good engine will outweigh the costs of new valve seals and the labour involved. Quote
mart1 Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 I would change the engine to, if your valve stem seels have gone what's next? I wouldn't waste anymore money on a high mileage worn out engine when you can PIC a good low mileage one up or even better stick a turbo one in there:-) Quote
daniel_g Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 To answer your question yes a UK 4EFE will fit in a Glanza S and run fine.Just make sure you use the S fueling setup.4EFEs can be picked up for like 50 quid and swapped in a few hours.Or buy the special tool and do the stem seals with the head on.

Jasonp-glanza-s Posted August 23, 2015 Author Posted August 23, 2015 Great thanks for the replies what would i Need to swap over from the fueling system? Quote
dangeestarlet Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 I got a low mileage 4efe mint condition with 57k £150 Quote
Jasonp-glanza-s Posted August 23, 2015 Author Posted August 23, 2015 Also just to add, labour charges are not a problem as i have a good friend who has done numerous engine swaps and conversions and he has said he will do it with me over a week end free of charge Quote
daniel_g Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Great thanks for the replies what would i Need to swap over from the fueling system?Injectors because they are different and also ive heard the fuel pressure regulator is slightly different so swap that too. Its attached to the fuel rail so just transfer the lot as one. Quote
onnaj1000 Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 And the glanza has a knock sensor and the UK doesn't have it. So you have to switch your knock sensor over to the UK spec engine. Also swap the mani over otherwise you'd be loosing some power too. Some glanza s have dis ignition and some use the same as the UK spec ignition. So no big deals only things you have to swap from your glanza engine Quote
Jasonp-glanza-s Posted August 24, 2015 Author Posted August 24, 2015 Great thanks for that mate Quote
