i have a question for a few of you.. i am hooking up my electric fan and i need to remove the rubber tube coming from the top of the rad to the engine.. i was wondering if i could remove it without coolant going everywhere? thanks

 

whatever coolant is sitting from the base of that tube, to the water pump will come out... that's it.

 

sweet.. you think that will be much?.. dam this bastard probe!

 

if you take the top of the hose off first, you can probably aim the rest @ a bucket or whatnot; for the least amount of spillage.

I know it might be my "I don't care about the environment" nature... but why not just park the car in the yard and rip the thing off???

ha thanks ill try that!!

 

ill keep ya posted on how this fiero fan does

 

why? I have one too

 

sweet.. got any pics of one installed.. jsut curious how im going to mount it! i know zips ties and **** but i thought it would sit closer to the rad.. bit it looks like the motor will keep it pushed out a bit!! PICS PICS PICS

 

Here is the fan I used to have, It did a hell of a job on my 87 NA. It was rated at ~2000cfm. I got it for right around $100 from summit. I did not even need the fan shroud. My car ran cool and I never had an overheating problem. Right now on my TII, I am having trouble keeping it cool with electric fans, however these I have on my TII are only rated at 1600+400+400cfms. Yeah thats right I have 3 fans on it running constantly and it overheats ever so slightly on hot summer days. :P No worries I just ordered a 2800cfm.

here is an old pic of my NA install.

 

sweet lookin.. if only i could make a bracket like that for mine... hmmmm this feiro fan will be hard to mount i wonder how others did it i am waiting for suggestiong since i am going to tackle this tomorrow Liquid... said he had pics and hopefully he posts soon

 

Actually the bracket came with the fan :P. I also tried the through - radiator type mounts and those are even easier to mount and they dont seem to hurt the radiator in any way.

I found this seller on ebay that I convinced him to drop the price of his 2800cfm fans to $112 shipped to my door. I am still a little bit skeptical about his fans though, I will try it out and if it really does what he claims it does, then I would recommend him to you and you can deal directly with him.

Cheers
