4EFE JDM
”You probably know that the jap-model has the rods of the GT and the Glanza. So it has thicker rods.”
The UK 4EFE has weaker rods.

4EFE and 5EFE after 1995 have revised sump of 2.8 liter where the sump goes deeper and therefore oilsump goes deeper = better oiluptake.

Magnus Zachariassen:
"Not all 4efe have the thin rods, 1st Gen 4efe 88hp from the corolla have the thicker 4efte style rods :)"
"And stiffer valve springs"
"You will have a lot of fun on the stock engine with a turbo, around 150hp reliably. You can then just buy forged pistons, rods, arp head bolts, valve springs and fit them to the same 4efe. "

"Ive made 165hp reliably on a stock engine for years using a td05 turbo... ive never hit 200hp on a stock engin"
