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 an

(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?
