Default GE - GTE interchangable parts?

I need to know which parts on the list below are interchangable from the 2JZ-GE and 2JZ-GTE motors.

1. Upper Oil Pan Assembly (lower, baffle and sump too) (i know i would have to drill an oil return line for the turbo)
2. Alternator
3. Crank Pulley
4. Radiator Fan
5. TPS (Throttle Position Sensor)

Thanks in the advance.

-Matt

i know for a fact the crank pulley is swappable because i did it to my car when my pulley flew apart

and i'm very confident the water pump and radiator fan are directly swappable as well (as is the radiator)

Thanks for the quick reply Bean, i'll be using your great fuel pump FAQ to do mine soon. Good to hear that the radiator fan works because i'm missing that also. My only concern with that is the upper radiator hose clearance and if it'll work. So far i am planning on using these parts for the swap:

1. GE Modified Oil pan assembly
2. GE alternator
3. GE radiator fan
4. GE crank pulley
5. GE TPS (checked the part number and they are a match!)

All these parts were damaged when my GTE motor came in from Japan.

awsome

i think its very probable the alternators are a direct swap; i'm not positive if its mounted in the same spot; you may want to get a diagram of the accessory belt and see if it matches the one on the GE(diagram located under the rim of the hood)

I don't think the water pump is a direct swap. If I remember there is a water outlet that feeds the turbos? Is there not????

Yeah, im pretty sure the water pump is different, the coolant passages ont he block are completely different on the GTE motor. Water pumps should be replaced anyway, they are cheap. I'm just hoping that the GE fan will attach to the GTE water pump pulley.

coolant passages are very similar; so similar in fact that you can swap the heads back and forth and they work fine

tho now that you mention it scott; the water pump MAY different since the stock turbos are watercooled... this assuming the turbos get their water from the pump and not somewhere else down the line
