    4efte ep82

    Hi im just assuming here, but maybe re-check your mechanical and distributor timing. That can also be a cause of the miss fire and not being able to rev up. Maybe put on a fresh set of plugs. Also the number 1 culprit in my experience was the ignition coil, check that out, make sure its...

    Dynamite comes in small packages. That's why I chose a 1.3 to embarrass the 2.0 and 3.0litres

    Honda D16 pistons in 4efte block

    Hi Guys Once again i need your help. Turns out my crank has been damaged which caused a bearing knock and some wear on my bore. I have a set of d16 pistons laying around, considering their availability and pricing here, it seems like a good choice. Also what brought the idea to my attention...

    TD04 oil and water lines

    Also 50-60 isnt bad if it includes the fittings for both pipes. i paid like ZAR 380(21 pounds) for just 1 length pipe and 1 set fittings a while back.

    TD04 oil and water lines

    I dont know if its good advice or if what i did was wrong, but i just ran an oil feed and didnt run any water feed, apparently the turbo makes the water too hot and causes engine temps to get higher as well. if your turbo is not yet installed take it to a local shop and get 1 made up depending...

    Best td04 setup on stock internals

    Hi Kalib, i am currently running td04 on a stock setup, with a longer branch than standard(as it was the only 1 i could afford at the time). The spool up time is a little longer than a ct9 and the difference in lag can be felt but the way the power is delivered and the feel of it is worth it. i...

    NZ PISTONS ON A 4EFTE BLOCK

    So guys, ive been reading around and alot of guys suggest toyota nz(1nz or 2nz) pistons as a cheaper replacement than going forged. What id like to know is, apart from honing the block, are there any other mods that need to be done(like on the 4e rods for example). Can we use 4e rods on those...

    Head Gaskets

    Hey i am in South Africa and we do not get any 4E spares here, so we have to source, mix and match. What i have found out is that the 2e(1.3 carb) has alot of spares in common. the head gasket is a direct fit and works perfect. Maybe give that a try.
