I've been swamped lately, I gave those numbers you gave me a call and will make a deal so I can get the Loyale back together. Their prices are a little steep though, I hope I don't end up spending enough to just buy a clunkered out Loyale in Seattle lol. Besides who buys Loyale parts in SoCal!

THANKS for the info, it's a 90 Loyale, need the front right quarter panel, hood, lower front scoop/valance panel, right light set, bumper. The car is gray however if need be I can lay some paint. -S

This is ridiculous, still haven't found anything!!

I guess this is the problem about bring a Loyale down from the PNW. Where else around here might I have some luck finding the panels??? HELP

Hey guys, my trusty loyale and I were doing some off roaring when I encountered a little sand and had a face to face with a tree. Anyone have a recommendation for somewhere I can find some front panels (hood, quarter, a few lights) in SoCal?? Thanks, S

X2 X2 X2 X2 And most of the parts shops will charge you more for the "2 row" and give you the EXACT same single row they have in their computers labled as a "single row". Ever think about dropping a EJ rad in?

Construction is the biggest pain the the azz on earth! A good number of the people in the industry will do sub-par work for top dollar unless your right up their azz the whole time. Heck on some areas it's easier/faster to learn how to do it and just do it yourself lol I'm doing quite a bit right work on my place right now. Shop around, actually go and see their work, make sure they are licensed and bonded (other wise you have little recourse if they F up and dont have the money for you to re-coup in a lawsuit). Replacement value in my area is about $350 a sqft, might be a good number for your project.

I thought EGT is a issue in all internal combustion engines, based on how lean/rich the engine is running any ideas why this just recently occured? I ws driving this car for at least 7+ months without burning the bumper.

Well I have been rocking an EJ22 swap in my 5spd Loyale for almost a year now. I moved to the desert with the car a little while ago, so the car is driven in a area where the average outside temp is 95-100F. The temp is always OK, oil pressure OK, occasionally I well get a Check Engine Light but it will go on then off. Yesterday I noticed this: Is my Exhaust Gas Temp getting too hot (car getting to lean?)? When I did the EJ swap (as you can see) I did keep the old can and tail pipe, could be caused by the tail pipe being too short? Thoughts?

How many of you guys have swaped a turbo loyale radiator into a non-turbo car? I just FINALLY got around to installing mine and, yea, doesn't quite want to fit. The bolt holes and the bottom pins dont line up (just over 1/2" off).

Did for me, autozone 120 bucks

I think that due to most (if not almost all) of the EJ swapped cars being based in the north people have been getting away with underrated cooling systems. This may be why the knee jerk reaction is something must be wrong with MY radiator, instead of something must be wrong with that configuration. If these single row EA radiator swapped cars were built as production cars they would be massively recalled everywhere south of northern California. Simply put the single row EA radiator is NOT THE CORRECT radiator for this application, you may get away with it in the north (MN, WA, OR, etc) but it is still not correct.

I drove the this car HARD in WA for about 1500 miles right after the swap and the temp was always on the low side, fans really didnt come on, all was OK. The loyale also had a new OEM thermostat, waterpump etc on that trip. Now loading the loyale slightly past mx gross and driving non stop into the desert of CA at 80mph is a slightly different test. My thoughts are, if your going to invest that much time and money into one of these cars replace ALL of the seals on the engine and through in a 2 row turbo EA radataor or a EJ radiator. If I could only have my EJ swapped loyale with a single row (naturally aspirated EA) radiator I would just get a different kind of car as it is not dependable for this kind of work in that configuration. also the leaking I mentioned earlier was due to a inferior hose, after replacing it the original single row still had heat issues during the drive down and even on short hops down here in the desert.

Well I loaded up my EJ swapped loyale a bit above max gross for a move from the NW to the FAR SW. I was averaging around 75-80mph the whole time with the pushbutton 5spd. First off here is what I have in the car. EJ 2.2 new seals (minus a few which we will get to) XT6 clutch kit EA temp gauge probe is mounted on the cross over EA oil pres is mounted on a adapter most else is stock rolling on toyos. My findings: I dont know how most of you guys drive, but that crappy NA EA radiator DOES NOT WORK FOR EJ SWAPPED CARS! Also make sure all your radiator hoses are heavy duty and of high quality. I had a new lower hose get a tear in it by the hose clamp, replaced with a heavy duty unit and now no leaks. Even with full coolant the engine would get over 3/4 deflection on the temp guage, a little higher going through the passes. For these swaps use a turbo radiator or a EJ radiator. Next is oil leaks, no matter how good the seals look on a engine swap out ALL the seals, not only is it the PROPER way to do things, it's just plain smart. About 300 miles into my trip my right side valve cover (which looked "good" and were not replaced with the swap) started to weep. The EA oil pressure adapter needs to be sealed, this item also started to weep, I removed it and used some teflon tape, fixixing the issue. Aside from that the car preformed really well, also I also havent seen any other loyales in SoSoCal!

Nothung in neutral and the bearings were just done (the ones that needed doing that is). Hmm? What would be the other signs if it was the: Engine? Tranny?
