1g-gte installation guide
|

I've written a 1g-gte installation guide for installing the 1g-gte into the ra23. I think I've reasonably covered bases involving the actual dropping in of the motor. I have aimed it at those who don't really know where to start, and those who haven't really got a huge technical knowledge base.
I have put references in there, so I would encourage everybody to have a read if at all possible. I may enlarge it later.
Daniel.

Try printing mine off in word, seeing as how it's a word document and all.

Carefull
Glad I did not read this guide before I put my 1ggte in. Obviously my steering box is in the wrong position, 'cos even with the heat shields I have at least 10mm of clearance - are U aware that the 1ggte is installed at an angle leaning to the left (I think that it is 20deg - I got mine out of a front cut and put it back in the same way.
Also there is no reason to put people to the expense of cutting mountings off the xmember as it will all fit. All u have to do is mig the hole in the brackets and redrill it 10mm higher and to use 18r mounts upside down. This lowers the whole lot by 20mm and nothing touches on the bonnet. I agree that it is a good idea to use new mounts.
There is a installation guide put together by Grant (6 works) that seems to cover everything.

it's a 15 degree angle. I would far from recommend installing it like that.
"Using mounts upside down" and "redrilling holes 10mm up" all sounds too dodge for me. I'd want it done first time right time.

with the 15 deg angle doesnt it clear everything? hence why it's even more important to install on angle, besides the fact oil drainage was probably designed to be on this angle.
here you are telling people you can use the standard turbos, or to atleast remove them while installing it, this is the first in all my research and conversation with guys who have done the conversion fr themselves that I have heard of it
darren and grant have both written up great full instillation guides, I'm pretty sure they are in the articles section

guys after doing a few conversions (never a 1g tho) i have found that no 2 engines / cars / conversions are the same.
All these people have made "guide's" to give idea's and tell you how they cam across things.
they cant tell you every step so what we need to do is read them, take the idea's on board but still do your own conversion and tackle the problems in a way that suits.
no one can write a paper on how to install any 1g into any RA celica .
anyway i'm all excited about doing another swap now, so i gotta go sell some cars and parts
thanks everyone for there time and effort in writting these great articles
Regards Ben

I don't react too often but must when I am fed shit!!!
Can u please explain how shifting a hole 10mm up on a 5mm thick bracket and turning engine mounts upside down is dodgy.
If u bother too look at 18r engine mounts U will notice that lhs is different from rhs and the mounting stud is offset 10mm depending on which way it is up.
My car is fully engineered and been on the road now for almost 3 years without a single failure. I would rather leave engine mounting brackets where they where originally placed by the manufacturer on the xmember than to cut and reweld, apart from the additional expense for zero gain. My approach also removes to need to use a "dodgy" 10mm spacing plate. Please in future, before you make a comment that I can only find extremely insulting, think about what u are saying. Maybe when U have completed your conversion you may understand the stupidy of your comments.
'til then maybe u should be willing to take some advise from others!!

i dont "think" this towards me... but as i said i hear what others do and say then take my own way. I suggest everyone does that, puts the conversion / mod into context.
secondly boys boys boys were all toyota moders and lest not fight! unless we a united front againt COMMON DOORS!!!! hehe
anyway "dont worry be happy" toyota on!

Sure was. Means that you have to use a RA xmember as the TA use the 2T engine with a front sump, from there all is identical as far as a 1ggte conversion is concerned. Just another point - if u don't lean to engine to the left, I think it is 15 not 20 deg, the gear stick is going to come out at a funny angle. It also will not clear the steering box or the nonnet.
