Pretty epic amount of work going into this car. I love it. Chevette was my first car. This ones gonna be off da hook y0! (even more so than it already is)

I would say read less forums, more factual information. Forum stories are the worst for this sort of thing. Might be some smart cunt that actually knows a thing or two on here but its hard to know who that is in this situation.

Had this same trouble with the mark II, Replaced radiator cap and thermostat. Seemed to stop the bubbling, still think BHG might be a possibility though

Ok so If you look at your mounts on your GX81 you can see straight away you can't use them Its impossible, The oil drain and the dipstick are the reason why. Wiring help. PlEASE!!

I know, I have done the research, If your questioning my ability that much I don't think I have explained very well. It has newer style mounts, I had a GZ20 which Had the early style mounts. The car did come with this motor factory, however the mounts That a 1ggte powered GX81 has are completely different to any other 1g engine mounts. And I didn't like my chances of finding some in the time frame I was aiming for.

Because I did research and every one told me oh these mounts work and these mounts will work, but none of them did. So I had to get some modified. Not completely new, but Hacked up much old ones off a 1g-e. BTW your sig, I must be captain cool because I have one of each.

Yep Have standard ECU, Have heaps of diagrams, none of them are match what I have. The motor is GEN 3 so it has the grey plugs, with green injectors, 100% sure. But the plugs are the same as Gen 2 ones, just the wrong colour. I can make up a little diagram or what ever, so everyone can be, Oh hey boe that is strange...

Oh and none of my factory mounts (all 4 pairs) Fitted and the one pair that did, were spliting the rubbers. The 1ggte oil drain and dipstick are right in the middle of where the factory mounts go. Despite what I read on the Net I ran into alot more problems than others have had. Main thing is 1gfe mounts were cast alloy, and they don't clear all the extra stuff. Can't mod to suit either. Not what we are talking about here though. and yes I've had a crack at trying it myself, no I don't feel confident doing it.

I have tried to figure things out, but everytime I make sense of something, another bigger problem comes up. Maybe If some one came and explained the basics in person, but I can't do it with my very very basic knowledge of wiring

Alright so I've done just about everything needed to get project up and running, Just intercooler and wiring to go. So questions are, Who and how much to get wiring like this done, Have complete looms, from original engine and the new one. I have diagrams, but CBF at this stage just want to get on road. Any ideas of cost or experiences would be helpful

Celica skids cannot be held responsible, noo refunds/yeah about that money. Haha. Meh

Fuck Gonna have to check it out some time this week. The 18R-G was good times in the short time I had it.

I have epic morrie on 17's photos hangon a second.

Build Thread //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/21624-beams-3sge-toyota-carina/ Haha This car = win. Has lots of good bits on it

The mr2 shocks should be sweet. I've got a fucked pair out of my old AW that i'mm gonna test out in my GX81 tonight. Got any more coil overs lying around ?

Fuck its definatly up to standard. So mint

from memory they are around $10

If you think its damp inside your car, Try getting one of those Hippo moisture absorbing things from the warehouse or similar. I used one in my old mr2, fucking targa tops...

Keen to hit that shit on the Chaser. If theres a bunch of guys in welly keen, should All come out to my lockup. Cos the car isn't going

Theres a little tiny pin in the end of the drive. could be worn or something.
