1G-GTE tech info/diagrams

[dan05k]

looked at that link.
hmm.. 40kg difference from a 4agze too a 1ggte.
interesting that a 1ggte is very similar in weight to a 3sgte and nobody complains about
3sgte powered sprinters handeling like shit...

[emp?]

yeah its 2 cylinders longer as well tho
Im sure it can be made to handle just like anything...

[dan05k]

2 very small cylinders, but yeah, i see where you are going.
might even see about playing with the chassis and mooving things about too balance the car bak out again. dry sump with tank in boot mabey?
will have a play with it. thanks for the input anyway.

[love ke70]

you can come drive my heap of shit if you want and make your mind up.
would ahve to keep in mind it has +1* camber and the tyres are bald on that outside edge, and that i have chassis rails that are seperating and resemble pancakes.
still out handles alot of cars, keeps up with skylines up mountains...

[dan05k]

haha, thanks champ but im a long way from quensland!
be interested to know how easy it was too fit though?
did you use a ke70 crossmember or a ae71 crossmember?
engine bay size is very similar too a sprinter.

[love ke70]

custom mounts on a standard crossmember. custom gearbox mount, its a tight fit, but not impossible
the water lines along the back of the head are hard against the firewall and the crank pulley sits about 10mm off the radiator, which sits further in the bay than the ke70 standard does just so i can fit the extra height

[emp?]

i thought mine handled well, till I started owning cars that handle
as with love, your welcome to take mine for a spin, they fit into ae86's no drama in the world

[love ke70]

does a mazda 323 astina 95 model handle relatively well?
coz my 1g ke70 will shit all over that.
the 1g ke70 also turns in as good, if not better than, and holds corners better than my stock ke70.

GZ20 wiring diagrams are impossible to find, ive been looking for a week now to add to my collection

GA70 i have though.

[EldarO]

thats plug for dash wiring.

this is plug to make your car run, runs starter motor, fuel pump relay and ignition.

And teh other question i have is can anyone I.D. this wire?
It comes down between gap in the inlet manifold. Its quite thick and is black with a blue stripe.

most toyota have an earth strap very similar to that bolted onto the underside of the intake plenum.

yours seems to have had the crimp loop on the end ripped off.

but dont just ground it, stick a multimeter on it. if its a power wire, could be for starter motor.

Hey guys,

what is the best oil for a 1G-GTE Gen 3 motor?
it is not listed in the spec sheet. I was thinking of using maybe Penrite or Castrol
in my oil change this weekend?
but everyone is telling me castrol, in particular magnatec is shite? Is this true?
I have never had a problem with it in any of my cars so far?

Cheers,
Bart

[love ke70]

penrite HPR 15 or HPR 10
i really dont like magnatec personally.

[JustCallMeOrlando]

You will never get a concensus on this one. Everyone will have their own opinion and most of them will have no basis for it. I personally have been using Magnatec in mine for about 40000km so far to no ill effects.

i'm using penrith 10-30 runs good but blows alot of smoke at startup due to warn seals

[Karma Supra]

I can't find a decent 10-30 semi synth anywhere!.... currently running 5-30.
