HighLUX Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Now approaching lag city, first stop 1GGTE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch.W Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Hahah lag city bitch! Nah man looking sweet! Your mani looks like an identical setup as mine as to wastegate position and turbo position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANT Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Turbo position sucks. So close to dizzy. Will most likely cut off the flange and get it moved. Manifold was so warped. engineer surfaced it. then had to put in press to somewhat straighten, then the flanges fill welded in parts and surfaced a second time he said. Hopefully it will make boost somewhere before 4k. Hopefully its not a pig to drive. But i plan on changing everything after cert anyways. A Newer ball bearing turbo will help. And some intake mods + a computer better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighLUX Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Twincharged 1g would be sweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANT Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 do believe it has been done in aussie. Its not worth it on a 1g. Such an old motor.Mate of the old man has a twin charged Tarmac race 2L evo3. says it wasnt worth it either.. so much time in tuning, fab work, etc etc. Recons he'll just go 2.3L with bigger turbo next..

nzstato Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Fans should activate via a relay, with the ON signal coming from a thermostat. Run decent wiring as they can suck some amps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANT Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Ok, so my wiring knowledge is NIL. I could not evven tell you what a relay is.Im running the factory ecu, Im assuming it has a thermostat, so is there any reason that these cant be wired into the factory loom somehow? Or do i need to make the fans their own seperate circuit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzstato Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 What do you have wiring wise around the radiator? There should be a plug left from your factory set up. What about on the fans you have? Should be an easy setup, give me a bell if you need a hand, I might be able to spare an arvo during the week.

ANT Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Factory loom is uncut, and i never had a fan for this loom. The new fans have 2 wires. and are supposedly reversible. so 1 will be earth and 1 power?there is 2 plugs spare near the radiator, 2 wires.

nzstato Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Will take a bit of thinking, do you have a wiring diagram? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANT Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 http://www.toymods.org.au/~rod/Technical%20Info/1G/1GGTE%20Gen3%20Wiring%20Diagram.pdfThat's the best i have found tonight. There is so many dead links on all the forums for this motor. Very frustrating.Maybe I should just bang one of these in there?http://www.jaycar.co.nz/productResults.asp?w=temperature+switch&keyform=KEYWORD&SUBMIT=Search I don't want to if I don't need to though, trying to keep the motor as simple as possible.

ryanfels Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Wouldnt your motor have run a normal viscous fan? Normally, fans are their own circuit. You run them through a relay that is switched on via water temp sensor that goes in one of these adapters. You can just go through the Repco/Appco book and find one with the right temperature switch points and the right thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighLUX Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Iv used a honda thermo switch before to trigger a rad fan. Worked perfectly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanfels Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Iv used a honda thermo switch before to trigger a rad fan. Worked perfectly Yea it all depends on when you want to switch it on and what thread size works best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANT Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Yeah, so forgot my car had viscous fan factory. Duh. so i assume will need to sort out a separate circuit. I have read about the honda switchs, just about to google them now and see whats up. So i need to get,some form of sensor, some form of switch, a relay to run it all?

ryanfels Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I still have my doubts about that camber mod purely because it seems far to easy. Surely al those OG toyota guys from a few years ago would have looked at using exisiting toyota parts before going down the BMW route Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANT Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 its the exact same thing as doing bmw bolts. only thing is that instead of changing bolts, i changed a bush to suit the factory bolts. Saved me fabing up the bolt locaters etc. its only really worth doing it my way if you have a spare crossmember.It actually was easy as heck. i would have done it ages ago if i knew the factory toe bolts were ecentric bolts/didnt look.

ryanfels Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 I have spare bolts but no spotwelded bits. They would be easy to make im guessing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANT Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Very. I would just use a vice and a hammer if you dont have a metal bender and just make a few until you get 2 nice ones that the bolts fit really snugly into.. The standard ones and like 2-2.5mm thick steel. They are nothing special at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
