I didn't get an oil cooler with my Japaneese import

engine

either.

(I

purchased one for $30.00, however).  For me, it was well

worth

it

not

to

have to remove the engine from the car, and then have to

deal

with

disposing

of the rest of the car after engine removal. I'd rather

spend

my

time

building an aircraft and installing the engine than

spend

the

time

removing

an engine from a car and then having to have it towed to

the

scrap

yard,

etc.  Just one more way of looking at it.  Depends how

much

time/money

you

are willing to spend.  Paul Conner, Hemi powered 13b on

(Only kidding about the hemi part, please don't ask me

how

to

do

it).

$30.00  WOW where can I find that kind of deal?

You won't get the ignition igniter/coils nor the high pressure

fuel

pump

either with a JDM engine. You may also need an auto tx flex

plate

which may not come with the JDM engine.

Hi, Bryan....I got my 30 dollar oil cooler from Bonzai racing.

(google

will

lead you right to them).  They are also often available on Ebay

auction

site.
    My Japaneese imported engine did come with ignition coils,

crank

angle

trigger, turbo and manifold, and auto transmission flex plate. It

did

not,

however have any high pressure fuel pumps. Both Tracy Crook and

MSD

sell

them reasonable. I preferred to go with new fuel pumps anyway.

For

what

it's worth.  Paul Conner

Thanks for all the good advice.  After $500 being the best price I

could

find on a Japanese engine (with low compression on one rotor) I

checked

into

ebay.  Got a guy to end an auction early for a good running engine

from

a

'91 RX7 non-turbo for $400.  He is including the oil cooler and

throwing

in

a flex plate from an automatic.  He says he does not have a

counterbalance

to use with the flex plate.  Where can I get one of those?

Might try Bonzai Racing....they have a lot of parts and their prices seem
reasonable. Don't recall their website address, but try a Google search

and

you will find them. Also monitor Ebay, of course.  Glad to hear you found

a

deal on a 13b. Now the adventure begins.  Paul Conner
