So Ivan, correct me if I am wrong here (or missed anything). I have a complete 4efte (with a damaged crankshaft). All I need for a 5efte conversion is Block, crank and conrods from a 5efhe, right? All else I will get from the 4efte I already have, correct? can you see any problem areas?

(Ivan found the info I needed in technical, so disregard this post. Apologies)

other parts would need to be upgraded would they not? Fuel system and Ecu

we dont discuss that here. Its expected to upgrade that stuff even with a 4EFTE motor with mods.

Yes, that would be correct if I was chasing big horsepower. It is my daily car and I am trying to increase my HP safely and within my means. To be able to have a little fun when I can (not as often as i'd like)

but yes fuel sys. upgrade, manny upgrade and after-market ECU are definately on the cards. (plus i'd like to be the only person in PNG to have a 5efte!)
