Hi Guys,
Need some help ASAP if anyone can advice me then i'll be seriously grateful.
Right... So I have a hurt Starlet Turbo (ep82) 93, the car has a TD04, FMIC, 330 Inj, Fuel reg, AEM FMIC, Blitz boost controller, Welbro Fuel Pump and lots and lots of supporting mods and was running 220hp. I recently melted a piston (grrr....) Im told it was as the fuelling was wrong as someone fucked with my boost controller!!! On the flip side I also have a Toyota Paseo ST 1.5 (5efe... i think?) N/A, and am told by many starlet owners I am able to use the bottom end??
Now here’s the thing... After many hours of research I’m finding people say the 5efe would need a complete forged rebuild...? (not gunna happen as my purse is now EMPTY) and the 5efhe (from the later version?) is the one to use... They say to use the 5efhe rods as they can handle more power and the 1.5 bottom end but replace the piston with my 1.3 ep82 ones?
Can someone please shed some light as to WFT I do... do i replace my 1.3 standard melted piston with another one (i have another ep82 engine) or do i use the Paseo(also known as Cynos?) bottom end and throw in a fresh set of pistons from my 2 ep82 engines? Or do i wait.... save.... and but a complete forged set of pistons n rods... (don’t really want 300hp for now so last last resort...
Please help and be kind im a LADY lol!
Thank you for reading and all help from anyone would be great!!!!
