yup.............

for avoidance of doubt the 1G-GTE pistons are only good for turbo'd engines

[sparkystav]

Just the pistons or all the internals ??

Bit of a long shot but is there any chance you could weigh the standard block and internals and the 1G-GTE set up, just interested to see how much heavier it will be. If its to much hassle dont bother i'll give it ago when i do mine.

[Dave-Ellen]

@ Stav yes no good for the s/c

@ Ellz its the same block just the rods and pistons are better & lower comp ratio

[Adie]

Sounds like its coming along nicely then Sam. Bet you looking foward to getting the car back :winky:

[LexusIS200Sam]

yeah cant wait, passed the 1 week margin lol.

[LexusIS200Sam]

well passed the 2 week margin..... and the 4th week lol!... still at steves sorting out some teething problems. doesnt seem to be as easy convertion as once beleived but no doubt will be all done soon.

saving petrol money has given me the chance to buy some goodies!. when i brought the car(2 1/2 years ago! its gone that fast lol) i wasnt to sure about the cream interior with the black exterior. not that its in bad condition just personal taste.

ive decide to convert it all. brought a set of black seats and door cards along with plastics to start with. my car being a 99' SE only the drivers seat was electric, the seats now have both electric controls. i brought all the rest, belts, carpet roof liner etc etc of ellz. Cant wait to fit it all in :D its in mint condition, not sure what age car they came from but they excellent.

Seat:

Door card:

The rest!(looks a bit of a mess i know lol)

[Ellz]

Good to see it will be enjoyed by someone :)

What problems are they having ?

Im gonna guess ECU/electrics something like that

[LexusIS200Sam]

nope, oil pressure. tried loads of things so far, new pump on the way.
