My little project - IS200 Turbo
I'm not going to get an engine cover sorted out as part of the main work. It's something I've started thinking about though. I think I will take a look at it once the work is complete and then decide.
Regarding the layout, yes Dimis I think it would be more like that second one, or like Dave Read's one below :
Latest update is that the pistons and rods are now out of the 1G-GTE, and although they're pretty blackened and the engine looks like it's been seriously abused/neglected, the pistons and rods look useable, which is the main thing. They need a good clean-up first though !
steviewevie What are those two extra small air filters for on the pic ? They look like a bit of an afterthought :confused1:

toxo They will be the breather for the PCV system and the ICV's air intake. Normally these are plumbed back into the air intake so that it all goes through the air filter, but some people subscribe to the school of thought that putting oil vapour into your air intake (from the PCV) lowers the octane rating and therefore efficiency of your fuel.

I agree they do look a little large for that purpose but there's nothing else that would require an air feed...
I wonder if the comedy return pipe on that one is because it's running a small SMIC (S14 style) in the driver's wheel arch area. The turbo's compressor outlet is facing downwards, and for a pipe to come out from there, go into an intercooler, and still come out on the side where the return pipe is is very strange, and you can just see the return pipe has a red hose joiner on the end of it...
Looking again at the pic, I'm pretty sure that the crankcase breather is routed to the inlet manifold, there's a hose running from the top of the engine to there that looks like it's coming from the right place.
Those two filters really are a mystery to me lol.
Good idea about having an SMIC, though that would seem like an odd choice due to the fact it's easy to fit an FMIC.
Another quick update. The head gasket had gone on the 1G-GTE and the engine had been run for a while in that state. But the pistons and rods should still be useable after a clean-up and some new piston rings (will need to test-fit the pistons in my block to see how they measure up).
We've confirmed that I seem to have bought the correct new seals etc for the crankshaft and oil pump.
An adaptor plate is going to be made up for the turbo to join to the manifold (since the manifold has a GT30 flang(e) but my turbo has a smaller flang(e) than that). Once that's done then we should be pretty much ready for my car to go in and the real work can commence ! :biggrin:
