Well then I would recommend buying a clip because you will need the body harnesses and it is also nice to see what it needs to look like when your done. Getting a clip is gonna be fun and expensive. Then you need to decide if you want to use the hydro fan or get a electric or go with the 2JZ clutch fan. I would recommend going to driftmotion to get a throttle cable, power steering line, and other things like the engine mount adapters. Then decide if you want to extend the engine harness or cut a new hole in the firewall. What I am basically getting at is getting the clip and motor is not even half of the stuff you will need to worry about. It does get costly and another thing to think about is did the place you got the clip look at or change out the caps in the ECU. Pretty much from what I have seen and even on mine 9 times out of 10 they will fail and your car will become a mosquito fogger. Most of the time you can find someone selling a 1JZ converted car for less than it would cost to do it yourself. But then again most people wont buy one that is already done because they dont know much about the car. Like me I tried to sell mine and all I found were people wanting to go on a joy ride but they found they werent allowed to drive just ride. I have put to much work into my car to have someone dog it.
