I can't really offer you too much advice other than this - regarding the wiring, just make sure you label everything...
Or you'll be sorry later...
Best of luck mate.

well the car is home. i was told to just unwire the ecu and pull the leads through. that'll make life easier if the can stay on the motor so i guess i will try that.

Yeah, just get under the dash and unplug the loom from the ECU and the dash plugs and push it through the hole.

what he said ... except that my 1G-gte (gen II) loom had the oil and charge light in the engine loom, so you'd have to either:
-run you own wires from the engine-bay-chassis loom (if it comes from there in the 1gge) to the relevant bit on the engine, or
-identify in the cabin chassis loom where those wire connect and mate up the same in the 1ggte cabin plugs
am unsure of the AC wiring as the engine didn't have a compressor.
wilbo and i might be able to tell you where the charge/oil lights go in a povo MZ10 when we shift the track hack later this week.

I'm going to assume the coolant temp wire will be a yellow wire with a green trace, as all the A6X's I've mucked around with have been like this, and from memory (although I could be wrong), Peewee's Cressida was the same.
A/C wire you'll need to trace. Charge light in my case was working fine once I spliced the factory GA61 wiring onto the GA70 plug. That said, if the car originally came with a voltmeter instead of a charge light like mine, you will end up with an "everything is ok" light.
Oil light should be a simple splice from the engine loom to the existing dash loom.

ok. yes it is a gen 2 as far as i can tell. and i sorta already knew about the sump and pick up. it has no voltmeter so i guess it will be simple enough. I sorta left this week aside to pull the 2 motors down then swap on the weekend then spend next week putting them back together. I was also told the unwireing of the loom bit should take all of 1/2 hour so i guess the rest of the week is free to trace wires FUN!!!!

am not sure if you mean that you're swapping engine looms on the motors - or are you talking about connecting the new engine's loom to the 1MZ? it's the later that you should be doing.

i am ver confused. 1MZ??? its a GZ10 and a GZ20 is that what you mean.
I am keeping the GTE loom with the GTE and the GEU loom with the GEU. it is the wiring of the dashes that i think the problems will arrise

sorry - my bad, typing while trying to work ... anyway... you answered my query.
if you go back to the chassis loom that the GUE connected to (near the ECU) you might be able to track them out to actual sensors via colour codes and use of a multimeter.

nothing wrong with it except if you dont know that you've lost oil pressure, or that temps have climbed sky-high or that the check-engine light is blinking at you... then you might toast another engine?

thanks man that will help alot. but wouldn't the ECU want some of that info as well? like revs?
my original thought was the dash just piggybacked off the ecu. i am a little amazed that this doen't happen. oh well, will make the wireing a bit easyer i guess

well after ripping a bunch of crap off the car for other people the work actually started. it took me all of 15 mins to unwire the ECU, run all the plugs back through to the motor and take off the accelerator cables, there was 2??? i think the auto box keeps direct dibs on the throttle position. so i guess i just leave it out. Anyone want to give opinions on what i should remove before lifting the motor out? some of the stuff could stay on there no?

If the steering pump is the same on the 1ggte then leave it in the car
It will save you draining it.
Alternator stays on motor.

well anyone following this i have now totally taken down (well pretty much) the GTE motor. most of the liquids is drained out and i am going to try to keep the original Power steering pump to save moving that. I drained the coolant and to my horror it was greeny/clear! i thought it needed red. oh well i guess we will change that.
The turbo pluming is what has me stuffed ATM. there seems to be water pipes that run from the turbo's to the outlet coolant pipe on the motor. and the two pipes at the bottom of the motor had red oil in them. i first thought that maybe it was for the auto trans, but then wouldn't one pipe need to come in from above? as far as i can tell these two pipes run to the turbos as well. so is there some sort of water/oil cooling thing happening?

If the 1GGTE was originally coupled to an auto, then there will be 2 oil lines running from the autobox to the base of the radiator.
Only other red oil will be for the power steering.

yeah it was my bad. i lost the lines around the power steering pump which is about where i picked up the turbo lines. its all sorted now. i wonder why they both come in at the bottom. it all seems a little weird to me. the turbo line comes off the coolant input and returns to the coolant output.
So about this coolant thing (i wanna run red instead of green) should i fill it with water first and run it for a while to clean it out properly?

Just undo the drain cocks on the side of the block (near the base), could be one either side.
Then when you go to start the car, put 8L of distilled water in.
Run the motor for 15mins.
Then drain it completely, and refill with a 50/50 mix of distilled water and Toyota red.

i do have one pic i found very interesting. sorry about the poor quality but i will post it anyway. this is the 1G-GEU motor in Left = GZ20 right = GZ10. I put it in a thumbnail to try and achieve proper formatting of the page.
I truly find this picture amazing as there seems to be heaps more room in my bay. i have no idea why because they look to be the same width of car. Notice thinks like the amount of piping on mine and the length of metal pipe (silver intake bit) but if it is all true i should have no problem whatsoever getting it to fit. YAY!

Also that GZ10 has an early intake manifold, much wider.
Making the GZ10 bay look more cramped.
Swap the motors over and it will look amazing. (The difference I mean)

I was just commenting on the two GE motors.
You have the wider motor in the wider bay, and the narrower motor in the narrower bay, hence they look similar in size.
But if you put the wider motor in the narrower bay, and the narrower motor in the wider bay, there will be a huge difference.

well it was called a day at about 3:00 due to other commitments. The GEU is out and the GTE is still being worked out. The problem is that i can't undo the bolts to the starter motor because they are friggin hard to get to with a spanner. The same with the mounts, i got no idea how you are meant to fit crap in to undo it. So the thought is that i pull the box out with the motor and take if off out the car, as the car it is in has no drive shaft ect. It may reduce the oil slick too
Anyway this is what the place looked like at around 1. And some more pics of the two cars and random stuff.

I semi agree with JCMF... but you will manage
We used one of those sliding bars with a long thread, so we could move the weight of the engine around. Made life much easier. Would have been better to take the gearbox out too I think.

Ok well it is monday morning and i am very upset. it wasn't really just an easy swap although i am happy at how some things just fit.
The second motor was pulled out and the sumps ect were swaped. the whole clutch gear was swaped over and it was all looking good. Luckly we realised the the mounts also had to be swaped and it was noticed that they are different sizes.
but that was ok because the GE motor had the front ones so it swaped easy. although we were sure it was going to foul on the turbo oil pipe on the side of the motor. (this pipe has now made it near impossible to do the mount bolt up.
After ALOT of stuffing about we managed to get the clutch lined up and the gearbox bolted on. (this took a few hours and i was getting a little concerned if it ever will.
The rest of the time was spent trying to get the motor on the mounts, which still hasn't happend. The mount pins are all of about 1cm from the holes it just doesn't want to move that little extra bit. It is all very dampining. The intake seemed to be fouling on the clutch line and i noticed that the steering linkage is different on the 2 cars but is should miss that.
The thought is now to unbolt the mounts from the car (as there is two bolts holding them on) then bolting the pinsto the block mounts and hopfully it will then drop on them and the car mounts will just bolt on. Any ideas?

AS above.
I was with Frank when we put it in.
Leave the rubber mounts bolted to the steel half, but don't have the bolt up tight.
It was a lot of dicking around, and it didn't look like it would clear everything, but once you get it on the right angle it all lines up and clears everything.

yeah thanks guys. I really have the felling that it wouldn't work which makes me feel sick because if this doesn't fit, i am screwed because the old motor i am not going to stuff around to get it back in.
I am just really upset at the moment because of the mess of my front yard and it not going in. it would have really been nice to have it done within the weekend but the things happen i guess.
Anyway i am felling a little better knowing that after "dicking around" it will go in and fit snug. So its just a matter of time. The gearbox really pissed me off though because we couldn't get that in so maybe i will take a couple of days off. as i am cut all over and have huge bruises on my arm literally the width of it (i can take a pic if anyone wants to see )
Anyway thanks for all the help and i hope that in a few days i can post that the bitch is in.

yeah i still got the fat one on my arm. it is hanging around. Well since i am here a bit of an update. very little to nothing has happened. we dropped the old motor in front of the garage door with the z10 in it, so without a hoist (which i borrow off my neighbor) i can't even open to garage door to my car.
The z20 is chillin in the other garage and is easily accessible but there isn't really much i can do on it. i thought of ripping more stuff off but i feel it would be berst to do one thing at a time as i will most probably forget where things go.
I dummyed up most of the pipes and it looks as if it will all fit without any real modification. one question i do have is i run the full touch panel climate control, which re routs vacuum everywhere. this is bad to be using when boosting no? do i need a special one way valve or something for these lines or can i run it off the break booster one because that needs to be vacuum as well doesn't it?
Other then that there really isn't much happening, i hit the clutch and it felt really soft but the slave cylinder is hanging and hasn't been bolted back on the gearbox yet so thats explains that. Anyway Saturday is looking like the day. from the progress that has been had on it it really should be bolted in quite early, even if it is hard to do, and i can spend the rest of the weekend wiring it up.
I just hope there isn't something that needs to be put on when the motor is out because i never want to pull this thing out again. but all that will be left is the earthing (which could really go on anywhere) and the IC and exhaust piping.

well as an update. I have the thing bolted down on the mounts (nothing a screwdriver and hammer couldn't fix lol) and am just going through and putting everything back on and tightening bolts. Which is a bitch. i can only get the spanner in and move most bolts about a 1/3 of a turn each time. its gonna take a while.
And like it was stated. this thing was hitting everything and i thought "man like fun this fits" but now it is in, it is miles away from anything.
Also should i be concerned about vacuum lines when i boost. is +ve pressure bad for them?

Well. The neither exhaust will fit (i have the pipe before the cat on nice its just the rest) and i can't fit the wires for the ECU through the hole. it has to go through the firewall take a left then right then out.
Well thats really the only problem. I can't get the blower out so i can't get the wires through. So i may try some professional help if anyone know if they could do this or even anyone that can do it.

Just feed a bit of fencing wire through the hole and use that to pull the plugs through! Wrap them all up tight in electrical tape too, makes it easier again.
Don't be a wuss about it

well another update although i am unsure if people are still reading this. the wires are through and stuff, it just had to be done the right way, it also helps to have two people helping. i am thinking in still getting it wired professionally but i am unsure.
I wired what i thought needed to be powered at the "main relay" plug and when i tried to turn it over i could smell a little bit of fuel. so i thought the injectors should be firing and the fuel smell is coming from the dump (as it has no exhaust atm). But yeah, i am still unsure what goes where with respect to tacho and stuff. fair enough i can find it from the motor but where it should go to the dash i am unsure.
anyway here are some more pics if people like them
