Whats the upgrade path for a 1ggte

[TA-022]

if a tree falls and no 1 is there to hear it ... does it make a sound?

if someone tells a joke adn no one laughs ... was it funny?

[Stefan]

Yes...so yes?

[mullett]

If a tree falls in the forest and hits a mime, does Stephan care?

RM.

[Stefan]

I care that you can't spell my name correctly

[Nark]

Going insane from boredom already Stefan?

[Stefan]

Kinda. Bought Oblivion, figured I'd get my money's worth

I still gave the right answer to the thread question tho

[RAd28]

digging up old threads i know... but anyone know what the factory redline is set at? i'm looking to get a tacho (FINALLY!!) for the RA, since i believe you can't hook up the stock RA tach to the 1G (feel free to correct me here (i know about the tach pulse correcter thingy too)) is there any point getting a 10K tacho? or will an 8K tacho suffice?

cheers

8K is redline on 1g engine

so really no need for 10K rpm meter but almost all performance meters now come in 10K which is not bad i guess but then u dont get to see the remaining 2K being used lolllll


cheers

8K is redline on 1g engine

Ahh love the misinformation.

Redline on a 1GGE is 7200rpm with a hard redline at 7700rpm according to my dash.

The redline for a 1GGTE is 6500rpm with a cutout at 7200rpm.

well i was refferin to the purpose of fitting a tacho as thats wht he was asking for lol as in will an 8k rpm meter suffice
most def will according to the post from jcmf

i used to run a 440hp gt2871r on my 1g, spool was fantastic on 15psi, absolutly killed the stock turbos and made it a quick street car but seeing as your car is a ga70 upgrade path, drop in a 1jz, its way better motor and gives you the torque you need to get it of the line

We can't all get 1JZ's...

More on topic would be to stick with the threads original idea of upgrade paths for the 1G-GTE.


Junking it for a 1JZ is hardly an upgrade for the 1G.

[JustCallMeOrlando]

Hehe, and my 1G with a BHG beat a couple of 1JZ's at the last dyno day

[Karma Supra]

Good man It annoys me when people say "just get a 1jz/2jz" etc... if I wanted a 2jz, I would have gota 2jz, infact it would have been cheaper then rebuilding my 1G... (faster too) However there are hardly any 1gs in the uk at all... and the rarity factor is worth something too!!!!

[stradlater]

Good, I didn't think the 1g redline wa 8k, Mine doesn't make good power past around 6900

[purple5ive]

yeah sorry guys i only said 8k for the purpose of installing the tachometer my mistake i should have been precise i didnt realise people would be readign this and using for other purposes as well
i only said 8k was due to the factor of fitting a rpm meter no use having a 10k one when the meter is only going to rev to 7200, so a rpm meter with an 8k reading was more than enuf

cheers
