You’re great! Such passion and experience means 100% trust in your work. I am in Italy so hard for me to send you my engine. Tuning Developments in the UK sells a kit for the rebuild but they won’t do the full work for overseas shipment limits they have. I’ll try to do it myself with my friend who helped me do the swap.

Looks familiar, I have my 5efe out of my paseo. Did a light port and polish and port match on the intake and exhaust, just got the head reassembled. Digging into the bottom end next. Curious to know how much performance camshafts would make a difference, any idea? Cheers from the US!

Is it possible to put a turbo on a non turbo 4efe engine for a starlet glanza

[@ODBTED]

Hi Matt, do you have the 4efte valve clearances to hand please ?

[@abdulqadirnoorbaccus393]

Sir may I ask why did you use 0.40 headgasket instead of a thicker one since you are forging the engine

[@MattBerrymotorsport]

We use e85 which is a higher octane fuel that regular pump fuel. Thin head gasket/ high comp is good

[@MechanikasLukas]

My 4efe forged build suffering from bearing fatigure, I have to change bearings every year.. do you have any idea why could that happen? Pushing 300hp, 4efe as a platform, new style oil pump with integrated crank position sensor, 5w50 oil, no oil cooler, modified oil sump so it is baffeled, ross performance harmonic balancer, same pistons, rods and bearings like you use, also I use launch controll and flatshift. Any of these things is known to cause my bearing problems?

[@soloflight24]

hello sir matt im from philippines im your new follower....sir my question about the 4efte engine is how many hp compare to stock 4efe non turbo? i have ae92 and i have plan to upgrade my engine from 12 valve to 4efte can you give me some tips about engine upgrade?

[@MrPwnagejames]

G'day Matt, Just searching through your videos looking for one about 4EFE vs 4EFTE cranks. Is it safe to build my 4EFE and use my 4EFE crank? Will be aiming pretty high and building the motor to suit a bigger turbo and more boost after I get bored of my CT9 Hybrid. As far as I know everything should fit right and work the same apart from the flywheel bolt pattern. Please let me know if I'm making a big mistake using a 4EFE Crank over a 4EFTE crank before I waste my money haha, cheers mate.

[@MattBerrymotorsport]

I honestly thing both cranks are the same. I have a 4efte and 4efe crank and both of them are forged with the same numbers. I wrote a comment on another video about this and a guy said in his country the 4efe cranks are cast iron? Either way I've never broken one before, how much power are you planning to make?

[@MrPwnagejames]

@@MattBerrymotorsport Planning to go balls to the wall with my CT9 Hybrid on e85 and see how much I can squeeze out of it. Current setup is NA+T with a piggyback on full stock internals and some fuel parts. Plan to upgrade the turbo later down the line when I get bored of the ct9 on its max boost so want the motor to be built already and ready for that to just slap a bigger turbo setup on retune and send it.

[@MattBerrymotorsport]

@@MrPwnagejames sounds awesome mate but seriously, do yourself a favour of throw the ct9 in the bin if you go to a forged engine. You will be wasting your time trying to make power on a tiny turbo not to mention hurt the engine. You may not agree on this but let's not re invent the wheel here.... Show me one fast Honda that uses a small turbo? You won't find one. Honda's have been in development for far longer than any Toyota engine... I'm just trying to follow in their steps to try and cut some corners to save yourself some time and heartache...

[@MrPwnagejames]

@@MattBerrymotorsport Yeah for sure, Honda's use the big boy turbos and can make shitloads of power. The CT9 Hybrid on my car now with the stock internals is all eBay parts so not long ago I bought a new CT9 setup with the speedvison turbo and wepr manifold and dump to throw on there. I think I will throw that on there after I forge the motor and make whatever power I can safely for the two reasons that I already have this turbo stuff laying around and that Im also not made of money so buying a new bigger setup will take me some time to gather up the parts. Later down the line I want to try the g25-550 turbo so will buy the wepr manifold and dump kit to suit that and then really send it and try make all the power I can on a "safe" tune.

[@DhavalDedhia]

Hey matt. As usual great video with tonnes of relevant information. Keep up the great work 👍 👏 💪 👌 🙌 🙏 Quick question for you, what is your honest opinion about maxspeedingrods/scatt rods? And I've seen real cheap alibaba rods. My buddy assumes these all come from the same factory and wether you buy the name brand or not it makes no difference. What do you think about this?

[@MattBerrymotorsport]

Yeah i reckon the alibaba rods are the max speeding/scat rods. Only difference I've found is the scat rods have a larger diameter rodbolt. The more important question here is are they even genuine arp bolts? 🤷 Either way good for over 400 hp

[@MattBerrymotorsport]

The spool rods were a direct fit with no mods required. All the alibaba rods require block notching. The spool rods were also $200 more which is about the cost of a set of genuine arp bolts. Cant buy spool anymore though

[@DhavalDedhia]

@@MattBerrymotorsport I doubt they are genuine arp. But I mean if they hold 400hp who's complaining lol...thanks for your input

[@infinityyellow9422]

Are valve springs really needed? Im building a 5efte and trying to find out why people buy 4efte head and put it on 5e block Isn't it ok to use 5e head?

[@MattBerrymotorsport]

Valve springs make an enormous difference, even in low boost applications. 100% needed! Second generation 5e head do not have distributor, they have cam and crank angle sensors. They also have coil packs and the rocker cover and cams are a little different. 4efte head are much more available and lots of parts available too

[@MattBerrymotorsport]

If you have a first generation 5 e head with distributor just use that. It’s almost identical apart from a water hole in the intake manifold that gets blocked anyway

[@infinityyellow9422]

@@MattBerrymotorsport okay thank you so mutch man

[@djfrankieflowers]

What about the Athena head gasket? I was offered to buy PEC Rods. Are they better than SCAT rods? Thanks

[@MattBerrymotorsport]

Most starlet rods and pistons are well over engineered for how much power they are actually gonna make lol any will do. Athena are fine, as long as your tune is good. A bad tune can still destroy any engine or head gasket.

[@djfrankieflowers]

@@MattBerrymotorsport wise answer. I appreciate it. I’m trying to figure out how to coil on plug. Which mods I should do to get it work with the stock ECU with a DET3 as piggyback. I also have the Corolla E11 4efe double coil ignition (that replaced the distributor in Europe) so I wonder if I could use it somehow through the Piggyback.

Hello matt, i have a lot of questions since i'm doing my Paseo, there are some of them. 1.Do you have any LSD options for 5efe. I bouhght c161 gearbox from G6 for swap, did you hear about LSD for this gearbox? 2.can you tune stock ECU? (5efe) i want to replace intake and exhaust so i wonder if i can do something with fuel ratio etc. 3. I watched your film about 5efhe and you said that you can put 4e pistons to 5e Rods and increase compression, is 4e gasket required? 4. Last one for now, what's the drifferent with ported/not ported head on naturaly aspirated 5e ? Im really enjoying your video's, u re making good job, i m waiting for answers :)

[@MattBerrymotorsport]

Hey I've got a c160 gearbox, comes from the 4a family of engine... I swapped the bell housing to suit 4efe and used an LSD out of a 4a gearbox... I'm assuming the 161 would be the same process but I've never seen one in person... Also with the extra comp, it's almost not worth the hassle ... It does give you a couple extra HP but it's a lot of mucking around. I've also never seen a stock ecu tuned, I've always gone aftermarket. With your last question I ported a stock cylinder head for my na build and I get a lot of comments saying how low the HP numbers are ... I actually think I've lost hp by porting the head, I recommend just buying a set of good na cams and springs and leave the head un ported but a lift cleanup / polish is fine.

[@kacpergolczak3452]

Hi Matt, I placed my order for valve springs and Ti retainers with Performance Springs in QLD. I mentioned to Allen that you recommended them to me. Question if I were to push these springs/retainers to 10,000 rpm do you rekon it can be done without valve bounce?

[@MattBerrymotorsport]

Hey what exactly are you building to want to rev it to 10,000rpm? Apart from the oiling system failing and starving the engine of oil, the cylinder heads arent very good for flow either, especially way up in those rpms.
