With the engine swap underway, i got a call from the workshop that i should get a new radiator and clutch set. For the radiator, they suggested me to buy one equipped on 2L, Toyota's 2.4L diesel engine. Though i believe the old radiator would do just fine for the 4A-GE (right Dereck?), i prefer to follow their suggestion. I chose to go all the way when it comes to engine conversion and that includes having brand new radiator.
I have yet to show you the differences between the old Charmant and the new diesel radiator, but the diesel one is significantly bigger and thicker. Here's the radiator. I'll take a comparison pic later when i get a chance to visit the workshop again.
I also bought a new clutch set: clutch disc, pressure plate housing and release bearing. The set i bought is for AE92 GTI considering that's where my engine came from. Last thing i bought was a pilot bearing type 6001. I've written before that since the engine will be used for RWD, i'd have to install pilot bearing on the flywheel. From the comparison i did before, i should be able to use the same type of bearing used on the 4A-C flywheel which is type 6001.
Pilot bearing's the one on below right.
I still have to do some shopping before i can start on the engine wiring. MAP Sensor and Intake Air Temp sensor are missing from my engine and those are crucial for the EFI system.
Its good that you went ahead with the plans to change the radiator, i dont think your engine will remain untouched for that long lol, i am doing a budget build, so in comparison to my friends charmant the cooling is good with the old radiator..... taking into consideration that temperature in traffic after a hard run is about 2/3rds the gauge in possibly 40-45degrees celcius in dead traffic air.... hmmm gotta install a second fan lol
