How do these compare to 18rgu/18rgeu powered RA28's, and what are the legalities of this conversion?

It would probably go a little harder once pulling, and be a darn sight smoother.

Cheers for the info, the 18rgu is thirsty and temperamental, so my goal is something some amount of go, but with more drivability around town and longevity. The current engine is also starting to rattle a bit, so I don't really want to spend money converting to efi, if I could pick up a 1gge cheaply. Anyone gotten away with sourcing a 1gge and having it up and running for under $1500?

A 1G-GE will definately drink less. My 1G-GTE drinks about 12L/100km whilst being thrashed around town. The old 21R-C used to guzzle about 14L/100km.
Given the choice between 18R-GEU and 1G-GE, I'd take the 1G-GE. It's more modern, lighter, more efficient, not as old, and revs to buggery.

my 1gge gives me 10L/100km but is running wolf 3d and idles kinda high, I imagine standard ecu would do better.
by the way, as the article says make sure you get complete 1/2 cut. makes things heaps easier and cheaper. (learnt the hard way)

Go the 1G GTE i have one in my RA60 and its a real nice ride, i used to have the stock 21rc and it is no comparison
Nark, what have u boosted your 1g to with the bleed vaulve i have only boosted mine to around 8psi because i dont want the old turbos to shit them selves.
