Do you have a 1g-e or 1g-ge, 1g-e is Single Single Camshaft, 1g-ge is double camshaft.

If you have the 1g-ge then the differences are :

Compression Ratio
Camshafts
Doesn't have an oil drain on the block, and no oil feed for the turbo's.

I also think the older 1g-ge's used in the Z10 soarer were MAP sensored and did not have a AFM, but had a MAP.

So it's a bit of work doing the conversion.
