heres the deal
american 5efe's had fhe rods until 95
so 92-95 5efe's in america are fhe rods
jdm 5efe's had the skinny rods
5efhes had thick fhe rods until later like around 96-97 then they changed to the skinny rods in the fhe's
american 5efe's will hold way more power than a jdm 5efe...
so you heard from someone who heard from someone who might have done it?
because i got the rods in my hands right now
next to my micrometer and scale
gimme some measurements
and well compare them
its also not entirely correct
the 5efe's had the thick rods too
even the 95 DIS motor had the thick rods (96+ got the thin rods)
wanna know how i know?
ive actually taken them apart
theres a thread on tercelonline showing them all

lol i think i posted the first DIY for how to do this with quartz crystals back in like 2001-02
i had to sit there and look at all the crystals and calculate what Hz was necessary to get what RPM and then see what was available for that particular type and slot
i used a graphing calculator...
