Do 1g-ge and 1g-fe share the same block? and did the engine mount castings change once the engine went vvti?

What are you trying to do?

I thought if toyota made any major changes to the block it would have been renamed to a 2G-FE? Or do they only change the number if the capacity changes?

Engine mounts are unlikely to change due to vvti, more likely to differ depending which car the motor is from. (Example GXE10 altezza or GX100 chaser)

Interesting cheers, contemplating a 1g-fe conversion into my hilux.

1g-ge is an easy conversion from looking on the net but are old tech so was considering a 1g-fe since you can pick up a import engine cheap enough and the utes a daily driver so useable power and economy are what im looking for

1G-FE is quite a nice engine, great at what they're designed for.

The only 1G-FE i would consider using is the beams version, the older gen fe's are ok but they don't like to rev like the ge does.

But really, I would go straight for a 1/2JZ-GE, they aren't as expensive as they used to be and are such a superior motor.

^^ Speaks the truth.. 1g's are a pain to modify / get parts for.

by **Brawler** » Wed Feb 16, 2011 8:38 pm

Maybe a little easier in japan...

I want that engine!

by **Townace** » Wed Feb 16, 2011 8:39 pm

beams 1g-fe was what I was planning on using

1jz-ge had crossed my mind

by **mjrstar** » Thu Feb 17, 2011 12:23 am

this is mine on the old motor (about 3 years ago) it has had a couple of bigger turbos since then...

sorry we talk crap about FPR plumbing for a bit before the loud pedal gets mashed..

did you ever blow the 1gge block lol?

by **UTERUS** » Thu Feb 17, 2011 3:30 pm

Seriously, I would never consider a 1G anything for a commercial vehicle.

I'm not just wanking on about 1g hate, It's just that the jz engines are that much better, and you will thank me later.

Unless weight and space is an issue

If it's not - why not go for a supercharged 350 chev? :roll:

Can a 1jz-ge be wired in with the factory ecu easily enough, if I was going 1jz I would get the vvti version

Weight and space isn't an issue for a 1jz in a hilux, stop being a dweeb.

Yep to factory ecu, that's not a problem.

The number at the start will denote size. ie 1JZ vs 2JZ :wink:
