from luke, apparently ripping out the 1J's hydraulics is relatively easy, as one of the cars (soarer I think) has a normal water pump.

Yes it's easy in theory to swap a conventional water pump in (that's what I did), but in practice removing the water pump is a bit of a mission! It is on a 2JZ anyway, I haven't tried it on a 1JZ.

I changed the waterpump twice on my 1UZ. Its the idler pulley on the inside of the V. First time was to cold chisel off the water pump impellor as the Davies Craig EWP was supposed to run better without this one. Seccond time was to install a new one as the DC EWP was SHIT. Also changed the timing belt at the same time though, so some good came out of it. Although spending a grand on water pumps to end up with a stock one isn't my idea of fun. Not to mention the time spent, and the swearing.
