Disabling the Hydrofan

[speed]

Ok pretty much this is the only big issue left with my swap. I have a good set of electrical fans that I'll be using, so I don'tneed my hydrofan pump (besides, the motorset didn't come with the ecu, fan, clutch etc). I had a major unforseen expense arise, so if at all possible I'd rather not get a brand new waterpump to replace it. Is there a safe/acceptable way to disable the Hydrofan section? If not, whats the best way of recirculating the fluid/blocking it off?

best way would be to run a tube between the inlet and outlet on the pump, and fill it with fluid.

i would wait until you CAN afford the 2J mechanical pump. you'll be putting alot of stress on the pump due to the fact that a simple tube from outlet to inlet will not be enough to cool it down before it enters the pump. it'll last a good while but its almost certain that it'll burn it up eventually.

i would just wait instead of ghetto rigging it for a bit. but thats my opinion

if the cooling is the problem, use the stock 7m PS cooling lines. the 2jz water pump shouldnt run too much.

Yea, i'm biting the bullet and getting a 2j wp and pulley. Guess HIDs will have to wait!

Hey, at least it didn't take me too long to make the decision!
