how to verify L5 3 cylinder twincam and L5 4 cylinder?

[Qft]

im a newbie plz help

 

[papagoines]

EF-RL (L5 3cyl) turbo (borrowed pic)

JB-JL (L5 4cyl) turbo) (my car's pic)

One thing to be sure... the top mount intercooler for L5 4cyl is mounted near the battery

L5 3cyl head look almost the same as kelisa's head

Both Mira L5 & L6 uses same engine from 3cyl EF series to 4cyl JB series.... you can refer here
Mira L5 chassis & engine code
Mira L6 chassis & engine code

from the looks of it, you already got front mount intercooler!

Yes, its like a transition period when Daihatsu tried to modernise their engine design..

FYI, JB series engines (4cyl) are considered over-engineered by some since it's design are more suited for race/rally purpose... correct me if I'm wrong, JB series kinda like sibling to Toyota 3S series (3S-GE & 3S-GTE) since it's a collaboration between Daihatsu-Toyota-Yamaha...where else can you get a tiny sub 1 liter engine with 4cyl turbocharge and a high-ish 8500rpm redline

but the engine that you are using (EF-RL) have more torque than JB-JL... look here
Mira L502 (JB-JL) spec
Mira L500 (EF-RL) spec

in stock standard trim, both achieve 47.07kW (63.12hp) due to kei car regulations in Japan. But look closer, the 3cyl model achieve it in lower rpm (6800 rpm) than 4cyl ones (7500 rpm)...

EF-RL won on torque figures 104.93 Nm/4000 rpm vs JB-JL 100.03 Nm/4000 rpm... that's why EF-RL models tends to be more accelerative than JB-JL models.....

anyhow, you got a gem of an engine there....

The campully issue i'm not sure... you can browse here... you need to register 1st..

u'r using std turbo? if so, mind sharing...

1. intercooler piping size and routes?
2. intercooler model/spec?
3. Throttle response comparison before and after fmic?

Currently I'm using L9 scoop on my kancil blalang hood

as you can see... kinda fugly rite.... wished to convert it to fmic but some ppl sez it will be laggy since the route is longer... intercooler size oso an issue... too small it'll cause back pressure.. too large, the pressure might be loss...

im not sure bout the size, and using local kcar intercooler. but the respond is not much diff frm the tmic. cnt feel the turbo lag. im planning to switch the turbo.. my turbo seem to hve a lil prob.

one those JASMA/Infinite/FRP rite?

care to share your fmic intercooler pic?

sorry for asking for soo much... it intrigues me since i've done my swap in feb 2009...

altho your engine is 3cyl... but the turbo are the same (RHF3) witth 4cyl... so basically the boost pressure and flow are the same...

if so... i can put my normal hood (kept one just in case )... and silenced back my std bov... then i can go into sleeper mode
