mjrstar Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 the 1G+t is a viable option, mine was running 20 psi (and occasionally 24psi) and took a serious beating at some track days. I pulled it to bits as i thought i had damaged something, but as it turned out it was a small bit of turbo impaled in the head causing a mild tapping noise. The problem with these motors tends to be oil lube on #1 and #6 big ends, don't skimp on oil and filter changes, and keep under 7500rpm and it'll be all super.. another issue with the +t will be the oil feed for the turbos, the oil pressure sender location is on the left hand side, there is probably a picture on my project thread.

thegreatestben Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Turbo 1ggte pistons are nothing special, believe 1GGZE to be "semi-forged" or whatever similar to 4AGZE. Looks like you've got Gen2 ECU and wiring (yellow plugs) but Gen 3 (bright green) Injectors, I'm not sure if they are compatible. I just thought you'd like to know.

mjrstar Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 ^^ Yeah there seems to be a few stories out there about the various 1G pistons... Let me know if you are consideering a rebuild, I have done a fair bit of research on the easiest bits to source, and I'm pretty sure I have a spare custom made 3 layer headhasket stashed somewhere...

EURON8 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Bought this bad boy last week for a spare,looks incredibly healthy .Owner Had a worked up 1GGE in an escort.One of the nicest NA 1g's i've seen. I was looking at this picture and i thought, Shit that looks familiar, but then all 1gges probably look like that with the front cover off. It wasnt till i read the paragraph underneath that i realised its my old one. This motor came out of a crashed cressida i believe. Simon (UTERUS) brought the car Removed motor for his RNsomething hilux project Never got that far Sold it to me to put in my van Got to expensive so i sold it to this guy down the line who said he had a worked one in an escort. Apparently brought motor to swap into esky to sell so he could keep worked motor. Pics from my van thread. I think i still have a couple bits that I couldnt find at the time of sale if you find youre missing anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far out,so it is!.Crazy stuff mate.So the OS cycle goes on,One day she might actually power something!haha. Its a very healthy looking motor for the age,I assume the Cres may have done quite low k's or was looked after.Cheers for that info mate!always wondered what the story was behind it.
