will the 2jz water pump fit the soarer (JZZ30) housing?

My water pump bearing is growling... need to change the pump. I'd prefer to just change the front part that's easy to change and less expensive.

My engine is the 1JZ from the JZZ30 soarer that came with a clutch fan (I didn't have to swap from a hydro fan), is this the same water pump as the US 2JZGTE?

Yes it's the same. Damn dude.

Thanks.

Sorry, I can't work the search here for shit.

Actually.... it's not the same. I got an OEM 2JZGTE pump from a 94 and the bolt pattern is the same, but the impeller is different. When I bolt it on you can't spin it because the impeller rubs. I checked the gasket thickness and it's the same as the original. The soarer impeller is plastic and has more blades. The JZA80 impeller is aluminum and has a few less blades. Maybe the 94' pump is an updated design?

I'm taking a dremel to the impeller and taking a few thousandths off each blade tip till it clears, then a bit more just for the sake of heat expansion.
