*only if you need one NOW. if the mishimoto thing works out, and you can wait, buy one of those to support what dirtymonkey is doing.
check this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TOYOTA-Cres...sQ5fAccessories
if you email the seller (autosales1060@gmail.com) and ask for the best price, they'll sell it for $155 + shipping. they'll do bulk orders if you're interested. but anyway, i've got one headed my way for $230 shipped. i know it's still china-made junk, but worth a shot, IMO. i will post pics when it arrives.

yeah, i figure if it doesn't have any moving parts, it's worth the gamble. i wouldn't waste money on a china-made turbo, but stuff like intercoolers, radiators, intake manifolds - go for it.

so, here's what $230 buys you...
ehh, pretty sloppy. slightly curved sides. not even close to being square. but it dropped in fine and no leaks.
i'll post install pictures in my project thread.

Wow, that filler neck looks insanely retarded. I got a feeling there will be a leak there some time in the future. Take pixs of the insides of that filler neck!

What about S13 Koyos? I currently have on and it seems to be spot on minus one thing. The inlet is on the same side as the motor outlet. Basically,
Now, would it be feasible to have a hose with that sharp of a bend? I personally think one could just cut the stock 1JZ piece so it faces straight out to the radiator inlet. Also, wouldn't decreasing the distance that coolant needs to travel to the radiator more beneficial?
Any opinions?
Keep in mind, I am doing this simply because I have a brand new Koyo I never got to use.

I got one of these a few weeks ago. Definitely not bad at all. Ill add pictures to this post later today. Some imperfections but very minor. Welds look good, but are actually painted over just a bit to cover up black soot.
Everything is pretty straight and fit pretty well.
Message the sellers on Ebay and they will give you a discount.

captainwow, you want to make sure that there is enough movement for the hose while under pressure and as the engine moves. avoid any bends that could potentially kink the hose.

That's understandable. What about the other option though? Seeing as how the outlet from the motor bends, couldn't it be cut off before it bends and then just have a straight hose connecting it? Obviously some good clamps and hoses are required, but I think it would save me the effort of having to buy another koyo and pay the ridiculous shipping to Hawaii.
