Ok, big updates...
1GGEU is out, cam covers are off and are in getting polished. All swapable parts have come off the 1GGEU and are now on the 1GGTE. Sourced AFM from TradeMe.
1GGTE has fresh seals, cam belt, idler, water pump etc. And is now sitting complete and ready to drop in.
Clutch is out and getting pimped at Clutch Systems as we speak, likely to be a 4 puck brass button set-up. Clutch fork was rooted and a new one is on its way from Toyota, also replaced gearbox shaft seal as it was leaking.
Have issues with strange mount set-up on my factory 1GGEU, it uses the front mount points on the exhaust side, which happens to be exactly where the oil line goes on the 1GGTE, = lame. So am getting a couple of friends to cut and weld a mount from a Supra that goes over the oil line and will match up to the mounts on my car. So far this looks likely to be the only fabrication needed for the conversion and was unlucky due to it being 1GGEU factory, it appears vehicles with 1GEU uses the wide steel mounts and can be bolted straight onto the 1GGTE, crazy I know.
As it is now we are waiting for clutch to be completed and then the 1GGTE can be dropped in, cam covers should be back next week and can go on, and wiring and accessories can start being completed. Will probably put engine in with or without the suspect mount and put it in later when its complete, so we can continue with other stuff.
Here you can see the oil line position on a dummy block, exactly where my mount needs to go.
Here is the 1GGTE with some initial loom mods done, ready to drop in.
Naked engine bay.
1GGEU cam covers before polish, will be using these as way more porno than the bulbus 1GGTE ones.
