Hello everyone,

Its alive!!!! Now its time to have some fun.


The first 4e-fte transplant has proven to be the best thing we could have ever done. We added some upgrades to it and here is the results from the first dyno session.

179 WHP
192 WTQ

We will scan the dyno graph and post it. The swap kit will be available real soon.

o this is Pauls?

gotcha

looks good from what i can tell. its cool you keep ABS and all that.

 

what would the final price be around when you do realese this to the public?

 

oh god. . . I think I have to change my underwear.

 

so it begins ...
soon these will be common swaps as the b16's!!

 

blah. . . b18 over the b16 anyday. . . but if I went Honda, I'd go K20 or K24.

 

smallest picture...EVER!

 

sounds like fun. hehe. Shines more light in getting an xA over a tC. hehe.

 

Wow,awesome. I had been waiting for more info on this swap. Can't wait for more.

 

hmm too bad it will never be street legal. hope it doesnt get impounded by a state ref.

 

eh the pictures are old. it running and getting 179 whp is new.

 

it may be fastest xA, but an xB will soon be faster

id love to see it run against another car.

maybe couple years down the road when I finish school and get a real job

 

Where did the pix go?

 

Well, I doubt that. The 4e-fte isn't nearly as available in the US as the B16. It was found in the Del Sol VTEC and the 99-00 Civic Si. The turbo Starlet engine is strictly a JDM unit. (Correct me if I'm wrong) Regardless, it'd cool that someone did the swap.

 

supply and demand could help us with the rare nature of this engine... and i am also very interested in the pricerange for the whole swap. how many upgrades were necessary to get it up to 179whp and 192tq? i assume that stability management and traction control go out the window for those of us with those features? (not like i really give a care)

looks great!!! this is so exciting!!
