You are a low budget setup. You are running a ceramic coated Chinese manifold. Until you start running HKS, Blitz, Greddy, Virtual Works, or other such brands, you are on a budget setup. Yeah, yeah, I read your other threads on the welds and how much better Rudy's supplier is, but it is still...

Are you tired Eric?

Tell them to give you a good price because you will become a longtime customer. ::bhg:: Just messing with ya IJ....

Anyone rebuilt a 2J short block? I am looking at rings, oil pump, gaskets, and bearings.

I would buy Randy's kit before I bought that.

Yeah, I figured it was around $400 to $500.

My 89 has two electric fans. When I do the swap, I am assuming the hydro fan pulls enough air to compensate for not having the electric fans.

Not worried about the twins, I am going single. Don't tell my wife though :)

Good stuff.... I will divert that money elsewhere. I will probably get a relo kit though.

Anyone running a oil temp guage on their 1J? Just curious how well the stock setup cools or whether an oil cooler is worth the investment. Dont mind spending the extra, but only if there is a noticeable improvement.

Thanks everyone!

So the plugs are the same? I could just extend the main connector then.

Does the hydro fan ECU plug directly into the main harness or is there a jumper plug between the ECU and main harness? If there is a jumper plug, does anyone have one :1zhelp:

The original thread says 1, 1.5, and 2J. :sadwavey:

That would be a sweet upgrade.

You can drill a hole below the speedo cable or notch the speedo hole and fit the harness in without extention. I am planning to go this route when I do my swap in a couple of weeks. Do a search on it, it is covered on another thread.

It's not a sleeper with a big intercooler on it. Its just a unattractive 80's four door sedan that is crazy fast. I could see doing a lexus 300 series sedan with the 2J like the aristo. 10 sec in anything is still impressive though....

Could a wiring mistake cause the ECU to fail?
