Looking at getting a 5efe to play around with soon.
Thinking maybe, quad throttles and some decent headers.

Will the quad throttles run alright with the stock ecu and is there anything else that is worth doing to these motors?

cheers

4efte turbo setup?

by **deaf_rattle** » Sun Apr 18, 2010 3:41 pm

rather not turbo to start with. going in a much lighter chassis than normal, so dont need to go too crazy.

Aah ok. If you havn't got the engine yet, try and find a 5E-FHE. Has a bit more go out of the box

by **deaf_rattle** » Sun Apr 18, 2010 3:45 pm

true, i thought they were the same but had emissions rubbish on them?

sweet as

I'm pretty sure the 5e-fhe is a high compression variant. I've also seen some (possibly the fhe's?) with a dual runner ACIS system, which would be a nice to have.

Yep 5E-FHE = high compression. ACIS is nice too

All-round they're a better engine than the 5E-FE

unless its a tiny little chassis when your sitting at 1500cc you might as well move to A series..... 5efs are hard to get hold of...

you can usually just plonk an a series in there :lol:

blacktop ftw

5efe = 9.4:1 5efhe = 9.8:1, better cams, better rods and like above have the ACIS mani which works quite well. Theyre quite peppy in something light like a ep71 starlet.

I can vouch for that too, very fun car to drive with a 5efhe.

looking at putting into a mini...
did think about a silvertop 20v, but space is tight!

by **Malcolm** » Sun Apr 18, 2010 10:02 pm

the E blocks are quite a lot smaller and lighter so for something as small as a Mini I'd definitely pick the 5E over the 4A. Having said that, I'd probably actually pick something like a 1000cc bike engine

I spy with my little eye something beging with... O

ORSOME!

So many valves, so little space

There is one around with B16B turbo too. I would think that car is 0-death in $&#$% all seconds.

by **mr30%jr** » Sun Apr 18, 2010 11:53 pm

yea.... they make 20v bike engines hahaha use one of those still a 20v

saw one in an aussie mag a while back with a 4efte, was making 160kw or something apparently.

that would be quick!

yikes!

At the mini 50th they had here last year there was about 3-4 that had b16as in them. Apparantly someone does a kit for it

by **1I1** » Mon Apr 19, 2010 10:11 am

Yup guy in welly does subframes to mount B16A's into them.. Was having a bit of a look at one in Feilding on Saturday with a B18C squeezed in

Mendoza Mechanical in Upper Hutt built a B16 Mini. Apparently its up and running but I haven't seen it for years.
