My cylinders have been bored to 74.5 mm so CR went up. Consider that Wossner flat head pistons in a stock scenario bring the CR up by 0.07. So if your stock FTE setup with OEM 1 mm (compressed 1.2 mm) HG has a 8.2:1 CR then with Wossner pistons it will go up to 8.27:1. My stock engine was...

Hi! What CR and HG did you end up choosing?

Guys. Anyone can confirm that the FR vs FTE engine block side where the oil pump fits is the same? Is it only a matter of fitting the FTE oil pump on the FE block? @Jay

Hello. Which Garrett are you (were you) talking about? Thank you.

Concerning the crankshaft, someone said they are different. Someone said they are both strong on the FTE and on the FE version. The crankshaft on my FE angine has written FE on it.

At this point, there is no problem using the oil strainer that came with the engine and with its oil sump. My concern was if the oil strainer in the aspirated engine is adequate to work with the engine modified as turbo FTE. My thought was concerning the difference between the two geometries on...

Here is the 1998 Corolla 4EFE oil strainer and oil pump. Do you recognize if the oil pump is the same as the FTE version? @daniel_g @Jay

I will take some pictures and compare the 4E Oil pump to the FTE version to see the differences. Thank you!

@gorganl2000 @daniel_g @Jay thank you, gentlemen for reaching out. I do understand now that the oil strainer has to go with its own oil sump. I will send a picture as soon as I go back to my garage. Concerning the oil pump, I am worried now because I bought a OEM 4efte oil pump because I...

Hey Jay! Regarding the oil pickup. It os rectangular on the FE engine compared to the circular version on the FTE engine. Do you think it is only a matter of shape?

Hello. Back here after a while. I was going through my list before proceeding. My concerns are the crank pulley for the knock sensor on the FE engine. I will see the actual differences between the engines when I will pull. The FTE off the Corolla. The other concern is the oil pick up. The one...

I totally agree with you. I already spent the money so I will use them just in case in the future I want to put a truck, Turbo and rev 9000 RPM . The 4efe rev limiter as a natural aspirated engine is at 7k I guess. Maybe 6500 rpm. I honestly never pushed that engine to the limiter but I do...

Could you please explain why? The 4efte head is identical to the 4efe. The only difference is the valve springs. I already bought the uprated springs, but as for the rods (Maxpeeding rods) I would like to be sure that an aftermarket part will gain safety and stability to the engine instead of...

This is an interesting question to those who have done the valve upgrade. I personally think that if you don’t rev further 7000 and 500 rpm you don’t need to upgrade them. But I did buy the uprated valve kit from America even if I don’t think I will put a big tirbo and rathe higher than 7500...

Sorry for the late reply. Now that you explained your situation, I can tell you the fastest way is to run two wires from the front of the engine all the way to the ECU. One will go to the 12 V continuous signal and the other one (ground) to a switch. It will be very simple to make the solenoid...

Wiring solenoid VSV1 from ECU pin 11 (switch) ground signal BC (Boost Control from ECU pin 20 (solenoid) ground signal You need to go in the engine bay to find the 2 wires that come from the cabin. Test the signal between it and pin 20 on the first ecu loom connector. One wire has a continuous...

Hello. After all the work, I have done to put the wiring back with the solenoid and the ECU as it was when it was stock it wasn’t working. The wiring was going out from the ECU to the solenoid properly and it was grounded on the engine properly, but it wasn’t working. On the activation side...

I think the OEM caps are sturdy enough to manage 300 bhp. Let me know what I think that the OEM cops are sturdy enough to manage 300 bhp.let me know what you decide.
