Hello guys and girls. Newbie here looking for some info on putting a small turbo on 4A-FE engine. Firstly has it been done before? and secondly can it be done?... I was also thinking bout an engine coversion later on.

 

BUT what i was thinking was to use a turbo and manifold off a turbo starlet or something that would match the 4A-FE head and upgrading the fuel system slightly. Is there an injector upgrade for this engine? Also would it be worth remapping the ECU?

 

I'm not looking for huge numbers here just a bit more power and torque so i can have some fun with it. Any info would be much appreciated.

 

thanks

Toyota starlets don't run a 4A motor, they've got a 4EFTE, so the manifolds won't be any good. Toyota ecu's can't be remapped, you'll need to go to a stand alone unit, or a piggy back.

 

It might be worth looking into a 4AGZE swap if you want decent torque, that way you can use a factory ecu for the job.

Go and join http://www.celicatech.com/forums/index.php. They have the best info I've seen on turboing 4afe's.

if your talking about the later model of 4afe then you could bolt on all the turbo bits off a 7afe turbo engine, getting those parts would be almost impossible though I would think seeing how few where made.

so maybe an engine conversion is the way to go!

 

Has anyone heard of a 4A-FE engine being turbo'd?

why would you want to turbo a fwd corolla :sob:

if you want more power

4age

or 4agze

straight bolt in I'm assuming being an ae92

not a very popular idea is it! oh well back to the old drawing board. thanks for your help.

not trying to be rude.

but 4afe isnt a great starting base.

 

try my above post for my power from stock.

best answer no no no dnt do it i have one they suck I'm goin to 4age just do the conversion it will turn out cheaper trust me if u have any more questions feel free to pm me
