If you need a place to store that. I can send you my address, just be aware that my place is haunted and the odometers change randomly

Back to the good old clutch fan.
is it just me or is that fan really close to the radiator? Like way too close? Maybe it’s just the angle/lighting but did the new radiator push towards the fan?

Maybe its because the PWR radiator is thicker ?

Now I want to order the blue fan clutch from wits end, seems like a good idea.
Easy to modify if you have one laying around. There are some thread on the variations. I mod'd the black hub one.
(But yes, support Joey if you can)

Break in complete, oil changed, spark plugs checked, and now time for the dyno.
Suggest making sure you have sufficient clearance there. Those fan blades do flex (especially in the water though I imagine not many river crossings on the way to the dunes
) But, still, you don't want super tight clearance between radiator & fan. You may be ok...just something to validate before you really get on the throttle

I doubled checked today, and thankfully there's plenty of clearance

It was 2019 when I learned what a Barra is, and I was today years old that I learned the 1FZ is the Barra of the Middle East.

@ToyotaIsLife have you seen 1993-1994 trucks with turbos fitted in them?

Guys I found out yesterday that Toyota still makes new blocks for the 1FZE! I was shocked.
new block costs: 1600 USD (local Toyota dealer)

They still make short blocks (crank, rods, pistons installed)
