I used to see some sell for literally around $250+ S/H... but as of recently I haven't found many. Anyone know where I could purchase one?
Where to purchase a 1G-GTE?

No, $250 for an entire motor, i saw it sell on jhot.. ecu and all. I've also seen a couple other deals like this.
Yes its for a 1990 POS Miata which will have a thread in the other car section soon.

I think a 1G in an old Corona or Celica would be awesome. Sorta like a retro new swap . as in swapping in a new motor in to your old car retro style .
Is the 1G a bad motor ? Or is it that it was just underpowered for what they wanted to use it for ? I dont know all that much on this motor.

Just underpowered when compared to the j series. They could be powerful though. They built quite a few turbo kits for them and could produce a bit of power out of 2.0L. But nothing when compared to the 1j or 2j.mattsplat72;1005993 said:
So it is pretty much in the same class as the rb20 . I have raced alot of GTS-T's and they are not very fast at all. My friends GTR is . We just have a 70's era corona sedan and where looking at options . I have my old 7M sitting around . But a 1G would be cool and different . Power isn't to reason for the swap just want to go a different direction . Getting tired of seeing 1j this and 1j that . Lately the 1j is becoming the new SR20 getting put into every thing . Supras aside I am kinda over it
The deal on the Miata fell through, but some good came of it. I will do this when I find a clean shell fs for a good price.
I'm still leaning towards the 1G-GTE. In a Miata it would be far more then I'd need. If not 1G-GTE, I was thinking of a 1JZ-GTE VVTi... thats not played out. I could keep that with just bolt ons and have a crazy ass Miata.
I really wanted that Miata too, I was 1 hour away from getting it.
