hydrolic fan

[karlmk3]

i know this has already been talked about with efans and how they are not a better choice. i live in colorado im running a 1jz swap and im running the hydrolic fan .problum is my hydrolic fan is pump is leaking so my question is if i go bigger radiator and switch to efans what are good ones . im not talking nice looking but good enough to keep the car cool under heavy boost eventually..

like i said i have been reading up on this id really like to keep the hydrolic fan but i cant find the pump. it be great if someone could point me in that directon

i could probably find you a pump around here in DFW if you want one

talk to rakkasan he purchased a new hydro pump from the dealer. IIRC he said it was 150 or something

Get a clutch fan.

I have a Hydrolic fan and it started leaking also. I put in the Lucas Oil Powersteering Leak Stop in mine and it stop'd leaking. It also made it quieter and hasnt leaked in around a 2 months. I also did this for the power steering as when its cold it seemed to be louder but after i put the lucas treatment in it that was substantially quieter. Good luck with your Build We will have to try and get together this year. I am not sure of any other 1J MKIII owners in the state other then you and I.
I also had a 2jz GS300 and my Clutch fan went out so i converted it to Dual 14 inch Electrics. it seemed to keep the engine very cool but i dont know how it would have been with the added heat from the turbos. If my hydro fan goes out i will be doing this but it is more likely that i do 1 Big fan and a shroud.

If you already have the whole hydrofan system, the pump is probably the easiest part to find from those converting to clutch fan. I would stick with the hydrofan.

If you don't stay hydrofan switch to clutch fan. Trying to run efans with the hydro pump in place is a temporary solution at best. You would still have to keep fluid in it and since it leaks you would be right back where you started.

Is it leaking from the Brass fittings at the Neck or out of the housing itself?
BTW I had to tighten My Top nut to astronomicle porportions and it finally Stopped leaking from the engine side of my brass fittings

 

[karlmk3]

its the giant 24mm bolt on the bottom i think its a 24 mm its been awile

 

[TripleC]

I think its the top but yes it is a huge bolt. I used a 2.5 foot cheater bar to make sure it was... !!!!Snug!!!! LMFAO

 

[karlmk3]

ill have to try that lol

 

[Poodles]

IIRC they use copper sealing washers on those, replace em if they're an issue.

 

[karlmk3]

i sware its on the bottom not the water pump put the actual hyrdolic fan pump... its a massive bolt .. poodles where could i get a new one .

 

[Poodles]

Pics?

 

[T701jz]

Is he talking about the fan motor? There is also an oring seal at the return fitting that could go bad and leak.

 

[karlmk3]

ill take a pic tommarow but its the one that is on the block itself not the one on the fan. its the giant bolt on the bottom of it its right above the alternator.
