Flywheel for 1G-GZE Conversion into Hilux

[infotechplus]

Hi Peter, the 2TG flywheel is somewhat smaller on the clutch friction surface, than either a 1G, or 3T-GTE . The 2TG would utilize a smaller clutch and pressure plate, and would have problems handling the 1G power.

cheers Chuck.

The difference between the 2TG and my current 22R flywheel is only a couple of mm, 3mm at best. It could be that the clutch plate surface area might be even smaller so I can't see why the 2TG wouldn't work (given that it is the correct diameter, centre opening and bolt hole spacing). I understand the 1GGZE will put out considerably more power though which is probably what is being referred to and I appreciate that.

I don't drive it hard nor do I ride the clutch, and given that I'm having such a tough time finding either a 1G or a 3TGTE flywheel I am running out of options - I need to get this vehicle back on the road. I don't want to buy another flywheel eg. 3Y, 4Y and have to go drilling holes in it to make it fit.

EXASPERATION is the current name of the game. I'm really doubting all this talk about how easy this conversion is supposed to be

Regards

Peter

[edit] I finally found a 1G flywheel thanks to a Toymods member.

folks - theres 2 flywheels that fit like has been said above - heres the low down
a 3TGTEU one will fit - 297mm ring gear 225mm clutch plate face
a 1GGTEU gen3 which is a 297mm ring gear with 235mm clutch plate face.

if you want pics with tape measure before i sent peter his ; drop me a line.

Or use a 1st or 2nd Gen 1G - I think (amazing for sure) the difference between these two and the 3rd gen is that the 3rd Gen has a larger friction area than the early ones and a corresponding different clutch kit.

Keep asking engine importers if they're willing to sell you a flywheel - if not, getting one made from steel is another option.

I may have a Gen 1/2 Flywheel for sale

spot on
gen1 and 2 run a 225mm friction plate area (same as 3TGTEU)
