Completed 5EFHE swap

[EsCoRtLvR]

Well I put in the 5efhe in my GF's 1993 tercel yesterday morning/afternoon, took me about 6 hours to complete. From pulling the old engine to installing the new one. I've still got a few kinks to work out but it's mostly done and running. We have a mysterious noise from the passenger side, sounds like an upper noise and it may just be the timing or a pulley, hopefully it's not anything bad. We have a 30 day warranty from the company I bought it from, I just don't want to pull the engine out again lol. We put the motor in because it was cheaper than buying a stock Tercel motor from the local junk yards :lol: . $405 shipped to my shop from All Japanese Motors out of Opalocka :D

It was supposed to be a direct bolt in, but there were a few things here and there I had to move around to get it to work. All in good fun :tard:

nice i did the swap also in my paseo, BTW check it out it's for sale. It also has a ton of other mods ;) And i also have a bolt up turbo kit for it.

Oh wow. Nice job. You don't see many paseo/tercel enthusiasts out there.

Any of you ever think about doing the 4efte from the starlet? Or what about *shudder* a 4AGE?

Btw, there's about to be another fast paseo out on the streets ;)

[EsCoRtLvR]

I did it only because it was cheaper to get a Japanese Imported motor vs. a local junkyard motor. :lol: . The 4efte is for someone who really wants to race their tercel/paseo or whatever. We were just swapping for a more reliable engine lol .

[boosted_seo]

actually the best race combo is a 5efhe/4efte hybrid. my bud in orlando is running 450whp and his best time was in the 11's. the 4efte is a great motor, but than again it's just a 1.3l. as for the 5efe and the 5efhe are 1.5l. The 5efe is good for about 10psi safely. as for the 5efhe is good for about 22 safely(believe me i know ;) ) but yeah good luck with it, and also did you get the second runners to kick in w/o the ecu?

[EsCoRtLvR]

This is an earlier 5efhe from a 1993, the 105 hp instead of 110 hp dual intake runner version so there was no second runners to worry about :D

We drove the car to St. Petersburg and back today and it ran great, besides running rich. We still got about 30mpg which is the most I would expect from the sluggish automatic. The Tercel can actually contend with highway traffic, that old 3EE just couldn't keep up, this one pulls well past 100. Which I'm not willing to take it any further than that :lol: .

nice!!! it sounds like you need a supercharger from a 4agze to put on there to me. hehehehehehehheheehehheheheehehhe

[boosted_seo]

LOL, i got one sitting around ;) used it for a week before i slapped on a t3/t4 ;) hehehehehehehehehehe. But blew that motor(25psi), and installed this one (i have yet to touch it, except for what you see)
