Well I'll certainly be trying to put the bits to good use !

SPC Horsham will be taking the cylinder head and block, so that they can do some comparisons with the 1G-FE and see where the 1G-GTE is stronger etc (if at all ?).

Gord has been into Charlesworth today and has taken a couple of pics of the internals, so hopefully he'll get a chance to post them up at some point (thanks Gord :thumbup1Smile

I'd expect them to be very different. Toyota engines undergo some pretty mega revisions over their production lifetime and the 1G has been around for ages! You can put a 3S block from a 1986 Celica next to a 3S block from a 2007 Caldina and they look nothing like each other! Revised water pump housings, oil cooler & filter changes, etc. The heads are totally different as are the water jackets.

The heads in your case will obviously be totally different as one is -F and one is -G so the valve angles, valves themselves etc will all be different.

I think their findings will be interesting :thumbup1:

Yeah it'll be interesting alright. I did have my tongue in my cheek when I said "if at all" about the differences, I'm sure they will be different. The 1G-GTE is reputed to be able to take a *lot* more power than the 1G-FE.

SPC Horsham have their own upgraded head for the 1G-FE (which Almost Finished has on his car), so I'm sure they'll be interested to see what Toyota did in the GTE head, as well as the block differences.

Do you know if they were Yamaha designed heads like the 3S? I know there are some other Toyota engines that went that way to be played with Smile

from this day forward the is200 engine shall be known as the 1G-tof(FE)e Big Grin

On a serious note glad to see everything is going well (so far anyways) can't wait to see the pics from Gord

I don't think so, but I could be wrong.


My little project - IS200 Turbo - ibby - 31-08-2017

steviewevie I don't think so, but I could be wrong.

I belive the engines were built by toyota,
but the manifolds and the car has been tuned by yamaha
