Which Fan, And Which Style?

[SlowWhite]

My car isn't overheating, or have a blown head gasket - no coolant bubbling, etc

it just runs hot. the thermostat is a checker thermostat. I have no idea what temp rating it's at but it's annoying, I know I'm loosing HP due to the temp issues.

Average Cruise Temp is 216 after a hard pull it's up to 223.

during the winter it might get down to 206 every once and a while.

I'm going to buy a Thermostat - once I get back from my Vacation, and will be looking for Fans at the same time.

I checked checker last night - and for 1 Flex a Lite Fan they wanted $159


I'll probably end up going Spal or something. Enes if you end up getting the fans off Ebay let me know how they work.

I didn't know if that was a shop or not. Looked like just a place where they make the metal (a lot of those type places don't allow you to buy anything unless you have an invoice from one of there vendors)

[Enes]

they opened up to public a few years ago, a great source for bulk metal. nice for brackets etc etc. i will be doing my own, and hopefully today picking up a big press and i'll be able to use it for many nice things down the road with proper directions from Raptor....

Good luck!

I just want to make some aluminum brackets and what not so that I can make the engine bay more bling bling!, (to hopefully blind everyone so they don't notice all the rust.)

Until the head gasket took a crap, SidewaysMotorsports rally car worked awesome with twin 12" pushers in the front of a PWR. We have one wired to a manuel switch and the other to the stock fan switch in the corner of the radiator. On the other note, I have a really good deal on a 1/8"x4'x8' piece of tread plate aluminum (ie "diamound plate")


Later,
John

I am running them as pushers.

Enes - I know you had the fans installed.

But can you give me a description of your install what it took, how long, which Fans you went with, what the total cost was for each piece, and what you'd change if you could do it over again. Also which company you bought from. (I don't want to be scammed)


Come friday I'm looking to buy the fans. so if anyone is willing to help me out with paypal or what ever I can give you the cash Friday.

You don't need any fans

Ditto, I had no fans for 3 months no problems.

You guys must be lucky. My car "does need them"
