a 1g will suck! (a 1g-gze slightly less suckage) you need something with TORQUE for a commercial

I am only interested in the supercharged or turbo version of the motor as above, the 1g-gze (supercharged) or 1g-gze (turbo)
Not interested in the 1g-ge.

Knackers a guy on the forums a while ago had a 1GGTE Lux. It went alright I think a 13 or 14 sec 1/4 mile. He doesn't post anymore but you could search for him in members, than show all his posts. Hopefully some of your question will of already been asked by him.
He didn't have any firewall mods and atleast engine mounts where custom.
I'm not sure what box your lux came with but I would be putting a W58 at least behind if you wanted to stay manual.
You may have to look at changing the diff ratio to to suit the engine.
Higher pressure pump in line should do the trick no real worries.

My ute has the G52 gearbox in it. Am happy to go for a auto with this converson as I have stuffed knees so I will most likely have to drive autos as my daily driver(as this ute is) from now on and keep the manuals for the weekend.
I was hoping to find someone here that has done this before for advise.
As with the power,a standard 1g-gze has nearly twice the power and 1/2 as much torque again as my 22r and should use only 50% of the fuel it is using now!
My ute only weighs 1320kg.
So I think this motor should be a easy fit, cheap to buy and fit.A lot easer than a 1uz-fe

a 1ggze is good off the mark
a 1ggte with abit more boost is similar to a 1uz
all in hiluxes
if u go auto u might need an auto ecu too be wired up to the gbox aswell
this is a bigger job than wiring the engine ecu
i can wire up yr looms and send them back to u with only afew wires to connect
even my hilux with a 1uz isnt that fast
its just like a v8 commodore maybe bit better
anything u do wont be super fast unless u get a 1jz and boost it up
but for a work ute with good torque a 1uz is good but will cost more
for a little bit more grunt the 1ggze is good and is the easiest to fit as the gte hits the master cyl or brake bnooster
then u have to worry bout intercooler plumbing
the gze fits in with the most minimal mods
then its easy to fit bigger brakes if your engineer wants them
engine mounts have to be custom made for 1gg and 1uz
if u run std ecu emissions should not be a prob
1gg should bolt to a common toyota gbox
i can find out my friend just did a 1ggze into a hilux
anyway u go it will still cost over 4000 by time u finish

If I use the auto gearbox that comes with the 1/2 cut and use all the parts that are fitted to the donor car I should have no prob??? Right?
I should be ok with the brakes as the ute is a RN85 (Full 1 tonner) with the larger brakes.

ask yr engineer about brakes and emissions
not sure bout melb rules
but when i got my hilux ready
one engineer wanted emissions test and bigger brakes
the other engineer wanted no emissions and std brakes
not hard to decide which one to go with
but in the end i did fit bigger brakes which need to be engineered still
