Programming the ECU of 4E-FE engine...

Hi:

The manifold I mention is found on the Corolla bugeye model with indeed the 6 speed gearbox, but the 5 speed gearbox version also has the same inlet manifold. As long as it is the 4E-FE engine, the 4A-FE engine (1.6) is NOT usable :)
It is the common Corolla E11.
The Corolla E10 manifold 1992-1995 (or even the 1995-1997) is totally different. Find that Corolla E11 manifold and install it using your own throttlebody btw, that is what I did.

Some good info coming out!

It's unlikely for you to have immobiliser issues as AFAIK the japanese cars never came equipped with one. Certainly not any I've seen around here.

So intake manifold, correct injectors and the ECU should net you the gains. The 4-2-1 headers from a 5e-fhe would probably give you some reasonable gains as well, they're very well designed and significantly better than 4e-fe ones I've seen. Unfortunately they won't be completely bolt-on as due to the block heigh increase on the 5e they come from, the flange will likely end up in the wrong place by ~1 inch. Also worth mentioning is the TRD 0.6mm head gasket, this will net a small compression ratio boost, along with skimming the head a tad would make a noticeable difference. Lastly, a mild base timing advance would also help.

A 2 1/4 inch mandrel bent exhausts with a resonator and high quality muffler and no cat will help, the stock system is hilariously bad... Leave the stock intake airbox but replace the filter with something good.

I would think all of the above should net something like 110-115bhp

Sorry I didn't quite understand your meaning, do you mean will the engine run? Then yes, all that I have mentioned should work well together.

If you mean will the government approve, I don't have a clue I'm afraid :)

I meant if the engine will run with the 100bhp ECU doing this mods :)
