All done !
The engine i bought from KYP was the first Gen1 1GGTE ive ever seen in real life.
with a Water to Air intercooler mounted on top, and all the weird pipes etc to flow water to it. Along with Gen1 Yellow/Grey injectors and the oldschool looking intake plenum etc.
As the 1G was front sump , im assuming it came out of a Mark II / Chaser GX71 just before they started making the GX81.
We removed cam covers and sump to checkout how fucked parts were as it looked like it had been sitting for a solid 5 - 6 years in the back corner of KYP.
We found the cams COATED in chunky black soot/Carbon due to the oil in the sump evaping or something causing mass blockages in the oil squirters (to the cams ) and oil drain (from the cams)
cleaned all that out best we could then had a look at the sump
Inside the sump was the same black chunky carbon buildup , similar to what youd find in the catch dish from a BBQ after youve cooked like 20 steaks on it.
None the less, a whole lotta cleaning and dismantling on friday night we managed to get it into a state in which it "might" run well after sitting for 6 years lol
anyway
In one day Adsport + Myself + my mate jay + My GF Holly all helping remove the engine
Adsport removed loom, throttle body injectors etc... and slumped it over the fender/windscreen
we removed the engine and gearbox all as one.
Whilst out , swapped over the CT26 + mani + intake + injectors + throttlebody + engine mounts + dump etc
all to the Gen2 engine
So the ECU (Gen 3) should run true with the Green Gen 3 injectors etc...
started it saturday night
Drove it on sunday out the garage and down teh street , babying it best i could, as the CT26 doesnt come on boost till ~3.2k rpm anyway , so i didnt apply positive pressure to the engine but i will once its had some warm ups and cool downs .
The only thing we didnt swap over during the conversion was the Exceedy clutch from the old engine, as there was already a clutch on the engine which had around 50% left,
