Take 10-20 mins and have a chat to the people you're planning on buying the link from, and the people you're planning on tuning it (If they're different).

Why are you considering an electric water pump out of curiosity??

toyrota: i might just keep it a secret for a while

:D

at a glance i thought the water pump was ugly and external, but its not

:) so no need for electric water pump.

the supplier and tuner are the same but its always a little hard to find time to talk to said ppls as there working hours are the same as mine and i know how fun it is having twats roll up during your lunch hour and ask stupid questions

I thought the water pump question was a bit weird.

And yeah, know the feeling about the whole lunch hour thing, but there's a difference between muppets wasting your time with stupid questions that you'll never see again and someone who's asking stupid questions that'll make your job easier later down the track.

I'm guessing they get just as, if not more annoyed with customers telling them "But Fred Guy from <Insert random internet forum here> said it was better this way" :wink:

Also harder to offer advice with no hint at the application

Come on just tell us! dooo it, do it! It would great if u did a write up in the projects section or something on your conversion. It would help me and others doing the same sort of thing alot.

could have a chat to mike aka 'mr dori' or Evan who have done or doing 1uz conversions into toyota soarer / grande. garage slipway on oldschool.co.nz forum project section

one thing i know.. check nothing foreign like loose hose clamps are lying in any vallies or dropped into the belt system. evan had this happen, one got jammed in cam belt and chewed it up
