Nick's 2GR-FE Trackday Weapon Swap!

[Monkeyra]

Been reading on MR2OC.com, they seem to recommend replacing the waterpump (it can leak) and resealing the front timing cover... any thoughts?

On a 2gr? Interesting.

Water pumps don't stand well once used. Second hand ones never seem to last 2 minutes, I assume because they start to rot once they have stood a but.

I've not heard of anyone swapping one out, but wtf do I know?!

See what the smart money on here says.

That's why I thought I'd have a browse on some of the yank boards, they've done a lot more swaps on the whole than us Brits.

Really? :icon_biggrin:

I honestly think i've more under my belt now than the combined USA total.

Do you replace water pumps on your 2GR swaps?

I guess most are publicity shy then? :photos:

There aren't that many in the US, not as many as you'd think anyway. No i've never had to replace a 2gr water pump yet, they've all been in perfect condition up to now.

And only two in Australia to my knowledge with a third (mine) underway

Been doing some digging today, there are some TSB's out there which apply to the 2GR-FE. I'm currently trawling and trying to find them all (doesn't seem to be a Toyota database anywhere?), but the first one I've found which I've seen mentioned on various Toyota forums around the world is this one, a hose which can degrade and cause an oil leak with engine failure (I've uploaded it to my ToyotaWiki.org site, and I'll do the same for all the TSB's I find):
