A few 1ggte questions

[celica_fanatic]

Hey guys, I ran a search, but got nothing. I've been searching a few hours. I had a few questions to ask, what better forum than here. My question, is where are the grounding points on the 1ggte? I mean, where does it ground to the car body? Secondly, when I use my w58 for my conversion, Would I have to get a clutch kit specifically for the 1ggte and w58, or ? I know when you stick a 7mge in a mkII Supra, you can use the 5mge Flywheel, clutch disc, pressure plate, and release bearing. Basically, will anything clutch wise from another engine fit this, or is it 1ggte parts or no parts? Another thing, I know a 1geu oil pan is needed to convert this engine to front sump, but will I need another oil pump, or just another pick up tube? I'm sorry for all of the questions, I bought another MA61 today, and I'm just curious. My swap is about to commence. Thanks for the help in advance!

im assuming you mean conversion into a celica given that you wanna change the sump

hah! grouding the engine! fuck i havent done that in my celica yet..

in terms of the clutch it depends on the version of 1g, there is a 9" gen1/2 and 9.5" gen 3. youre right tho that there is no probs using that gearbox.. youre only real concern is that the friction plate splines match the box and the diameter fit inside the pressure plate. the pressure plate dowels will need to suit the flywheel..

depending on what the x-member in the celica you have have will depend on which sump you need

to mount the engine in mine i used a rear sump 1g and didnt have to change anything but massage the rear sump for the steering arm

you will need 1gge (non turbo) metal engine mounts to replace the cast items so your oil drain can be plugged in

EDIT: oh yeah and the best place to look for this stuff is in people thread in the members rides section

Well, it's going in a Celica Supra. A '84, front sump from the factory, so I'll need to convert to front sump to clear my x-member. I have a welder, and plenty of cardboard, so I'll most likely be making my own mounts. I'm trying to remember what gen my 1G is, it's second I *think*. I'll look at it soon and see. I see what you mean by the pressure plate, and friction plate. The only thing I need to find would be the 1g to W58 Bellhousing, and a front sump pan, then I'm ready to make my mounts, and make her at home.

well you shouldnt have a problem finding the bell or the right sump

just make sure you take lots of photos and do a write up n your own members thread so that if someone else does it in the future they can just refer to that.. thats what toymods is about

oh and welcome bud!

I forgot a pretty crucial part.. The flywheel. I need one of those too, lol. I'll do a write up with plenty of photos, don't worry about that. Thanks for the welcome!

just for reference i'll need to find he model of which one but for my 1ggte with a w58 i used a hilux clutch. stronger than standard and it was only about $120 for the whole kit
