Stock fan setup cools way better than electric fans. I would try to stick with a stock fan setup. Don't complicate what already works well.
Engine looks really good BTW. Can't wait to see some pics with it installed. Good luck.

if the clutch fan is better, ill go with that. What shroud do I use? and I was looking at the fan online, and im having some trouble figuring out what one to order. http://www.trademotion.com/partloca...=1994&graphicID=E807030&callout=9&catalogid=1
if you look, there are left and right fans, what one do I get?

Yah I will be selling the pulley if im going with a clutch fan, Ill shoot you a PM when I make my decision
Little ticked off at the engine company, they shipped the engine full of oil. Of course they messed up the pan and the oil dripped all over the place. And I found my ALT plug cut. But for the most part, everything else is good
well the inside of the engine doesnt look that nice... Im really ticked on the condition of the harness too. 7 broken plugs and 10 partially broken plugs...
the cams looks like to have rust on them. Im really pissed off

are the cams still usable? I scrubbed it hard with a rag and my fingers and it didnt want to come off...
Well good news... time for some cams:love:
Nothing better than buying performance parts as an excuse:biglaugh:

not the point. I bought a "clean" engine from them. I dont want to spend the extra money at this point to fix up this "clean" engine. If they sold it to me as an engine that needed work along with the price of one, then I wouldnt be so mad.
I guess I can go with the USDM cams, I wonder if the shims are ok too..
well Im going to be doing the USDM swap(turbos, injectors, cams) if I can find everything for cheap
well here are some pics of my parts

:icon_bigg:biglaugh: Maybe, I was thinking about the cobra brake upgrade and then some new coilovers and sway bars. Saftey wise, I want to put a racing seat in(I have a evil plan for this) and maybe new belts.
One thing Im going to do is get new rims and tires, Need more meat since I have more power :icon_evil
looks like its going to be a sweet build bro. just about have my 1jz swap complete (hopefully by the end of the week if my new parts get here!!) i know ur gonna love the difference
drill I used to drill out the pan
the press was to small for the one that actually fit, so I drilled it out with the biggest one, and now im going to file it down.
Ill finish it up tomorrow, the hole and drill and tap the bolt holes
Well the harness is going to need some major work. 15-18 broken clips. Well im going to get a estimate on it. Right now I only need a full length clutch hose, water pump, WP pulley, clutch fan and cams. Fluids too. I hope to have it done soon. Money has been tight
the swap isnt cheap at all but keep at it. Anytime you have doubts you have family here that will re-assure you that all the work and money+blood is worth it in the end

Yahh lol. All my money has now been diverted to prom. oh well, I hope work picks up in the next week. I want to finish my car!
I feel your pain bro. I bought a 7M from JDM Engine Depot. When I recieved it, half the harness was missing! I DO NOT recommend buying from those idiots.
