SlipperyGX71 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Hey guys im putting a 1ggte into my 85 gx71 grande hardtop and was wondering if my standard fuel pump will flow enough fuel or do i need to upgrade it? If i need a different one where is the standard one located and what should i put in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch.W Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 oh god do not put a 1ggte into it!  by putting that engine in it you are taking a chunk off the price tag.. I will swap you m 1ggte single turbo gx71 for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlipperyGX71 Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 Price tag? What do you think its worth no rust full respray 280 000kms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch.W Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Not as much as it use to be worth thats for sure. and og paint on cars usually makes them worth more than with a respray. Â Oh and to answer your question, yes you can run factory fuel pump and it is an in tank pump. If i were to start my car again i would wayyyyy rather 1gge than 1ggte.

SlipperyGX71 Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 Whys that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch.W Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 because 1gge's are one of the best engines ever made. If your car was forsale in japan it would probably fetch quite a lot with the factory 1gge in it. Â And because you have/had a factory twin cam hard top mark 2... That my friend was a rare car. Â where are you located? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANT Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Its a 4-5grand car in japan. Its a factory twincam hardtop. Rare as feck in nz so dont ruin it. I have done this swap and I regret it also. The 1gge is a great engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlipperyGX71 Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 Lower north island paid 2500 for it 5 years ago i like the 1g but it needs over $1000 spent on it so im gna try this gte and see how it goes. Its algood saying it would be worth more but its not likly il be selling this car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch.W Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 if you want to sell it (if the guards aren't ruined) hit me up i have cash waiting to buy a nice one and put a 1gge back in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlipperyGX71 Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 Cars mint and il never get my money bak that iv put into it so il never sell it would have the be a ridiculous offer for me to let it go. Its an awesome car and having boost under the hood makes it that much cooler to me and it is mine at the end of the day lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANT Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Likewise. Ill happely give you a lump of money so that it gets done right. Pm me if u do want to discuss selling it. That turbo motor will cost you more to get going than fixing the 1gge or replacing it. Dont do it. Go buy a supra if you want turbos and shit.

Spooch Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 If the motor is at throwing away point then there might be cause... I single turboed my 1g and had a lot of fun in it. Few track days... 1gge to keep it original and better value by the sounds of it. Turbo for self pleasure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
