jtc3d Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Hey all, I'm doing a 2jz-ge swap into an MS65 crown and am currently sourcing a radiator. I can go to a wreckers for a modern one and fab it into the engine bay, but the origional has a sweet fitment in the front bumper. So I was thinking with a cooling fan added would the origional be enough to cool the new engine? I'm googling this as well, but since this is such a great crown community, someone might have already tackled this problem. Cheers boys and girls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanfels Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Whats the overall size of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Yes if the outlets on the factory one work and the core is in good condition use it. Personally I would get it rodded and tanked so you know its not blocked and go from there, if it can cool a 4m it will be fine for the 2J 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Hey man I'm running a factory crown radiator on my MS110 crown with 2jz swap. works sweet as, had it all cleaned out and checked with a 16 inch thermo fan on the front, Only thing I havn't done is wire up a thermo switch for the fan, given the factory 2jz loom didnt accommodate for this, so its on all the time, worst thing ever, car sounds like a vacuum cleaner but yeah man, will be sweet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Yea just buy a aftermarket thermo relay setup if you have to, not properly setup electric fans suck. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtc3d Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 Ah, you guys rock! This --><-- close to a "buy now" on Trade Me. The origional's core is in good condition too. Plus it has an oil cooler built it for the auto tranny (yes, it's an auto). Thanks guys! More questions to come, and maybe I'll get the time to start a thread and show you all whats going on.

jtc3d Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 Whats the overall size of it? I'll hunt down the dimensions. I'm in Welly and it's up in the Coromandel. I have to fly up for a week at a time to work on it. Not ideal for answering quick questions at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 No need for dimensions, a 4m radiator will cool a 2j no worries, as proved by seedy al. Just sort out a decent fan setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Also run a external cooler on that auto trans, just to be safe. Run it in series with the one in the radiator. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
