2JZGTE swap this summer...

[FlexdXJ]

Got most of the cooling system figured out and connected. Slow going atm since I have a million things pulling me away from it, important as getting my daily running again is.

Oh hell, whats your DD?

 

[child9]

This Jeep IS my daily!

 

[FlexdXJ]

Oh I re-read it. I is tarded sometimes!

 

[child9]

Knocking stuff out on the list, slowly but surely...I know I've given a lot of "target dates", but here's another one. August 21st I'm hoping to have her running.

 

[RedHeep]

Do you think your electric fans would be more effective with a shroud?

There's an awful lot of open radiator space there between/around them.

 

[dukie564]

agreed you're definitely going to need some sort of a shroud

 

[child9]

Yes, they sure would. By my estimate there is about a third of the radiator not having air forcibly pulled through it...which I hate. I will make a shroud out of aluminum sheet if needed, but I'm gonna wait and see what the temps look like. School is coming up quick, and I'm running out of time.

I did get the interior ready to receive the dash again, and I made a quick heat shield to protect the harness from the manifold heat. I want to put in a hood vent right above and just slightly behind the top of the manifold, but I am running out of time, as I stated before. I can not convey strongly enough how much I hate taking shortcuts.

 

[Shorty]

what kind of car is at the top left of this pic??

 

[dukie564]

looks like a pontiac grand prix/grand am to me

 

[child9]

I believe that's an S2000.

 

[Keithmania]

Looks more like a Subaru WRX to me but child works there so he'd know...

 

[gradon]

. . .to me too Keith, but I'm looking at the spider under the hood. . .

 

[child9]

It's a CR (Club Racer) Edition s2000 for sure.

 

[Super mud]

It's a CR (Club Racer) Edition s2000 for sure.

I bet it's got true dual exaust too

 

[Keithmania]

Doesn't that engine look like it belongs in there? Awesome freakin' job...

 

[child9]

So these last couple of things on the list are gonna be a pain...it's slow going and a little frustrating...but if I keep getting results like this, little bursts of excitement pop in and I find myself ridiculously happy with a stupid little part. I'm such a dork.

After a little research I've come to the decision that the high pressure line from the pump to the steering gearbox is not to be cheapened or taken lightly. Of all the pressures in the vehicle, this is the one. I was initially told 600 psi, but the guy who made the new line said they can go upwards of 1000. The new line is ISO 9000, rated to 3000 psi, and looks sexy! I'm happy with it, and I know I won't lose any power steering, burn up and freeze up a pump, then throw a belt and overheat in the middle of the zombie apocalypse.

 

[child9]

Oh I almost forgot....there's a boost gauge in it now, lol.

 

[Super mud]

Now I know where to put my trans temp gauge!

 

[child9]

Got several things going tonight, with several more scheduled for tomorrow. Here are the new hard lines and trans cooler I installed this evening, among other things.

 

[coldoath]

Sickkkk!

So did you just use the stock Cherokee boost gauge?
