not sure what forum to put this in.....technically its a swap....but same stock engine to stock engine....not even sure what to name it.....
anyways, i finally got the turbo off my motor, and sent the car on its way via tow truck to the engine place where they are going to drop a stock jdm (ya i know) d16y8 back into the engine bay....i know im wasting money in the sense that in a few months im going to be ripping the y8 out and dropping in a gsr, but i need a car YESTERDAY so this is the only option to get me going.
anyways, while i was at the shop, they were trying to sell me a new water pump and hoses and what not.....
the engines they got are NOT rebuilds, just used jdm and usdm d16y8's.
should i spring for a water pump? and anything else. i originally told them no, because it just sounds like they are out to try and fuck me....
so i told them to get the engine in there and running for the price quoted. no more.
plus they are giving me an automatic 12 month/12,000 mile warranty on the engine.
yes or no to new water pump on used y8 engine being swapped back into my ek coupe?
why would they ask me if i wanted a new WATER PUMP....but not a new clutch...
something sounds fishy....or am i just being overly suspicious?
