I was wondering if i could get some input on my delima. a buddy of mine has i 13b rew its been runining hot on him for a while(200-210 degrees) thiis is with a fluidine radiator and a ford taurus e-fan. now he has stepped up to a bigger radiator, the core is about a inch thicker and all the other dimentions are roughly the same i have not seen it . But due to the fan fittment issues he went with a ford escort e-fan LOL.now my thinking says no way ! now what kind off fan do u guys suggest?I know the black magic flows 2,800 cfm but is this enough ? is there a fan that flows as good as the black magic or better,but at the same time is thinner. or what about a push type fan mounted on the nose side of the radiator?

First of all, it sounds like you should be in the 3rd gen forum. Second, is it over heating when stopped, or when moving. If its still doing it once he starts moving, its not the fan. The thermostat could be bad if thats the case.

my fault i forgot to mention its in a second gen a tenth aniversary to be exact. And as far as i know it does it all the time but especialy on the inter state. and yeah he changed the thermostats(he says there are two)but anyway i still would like to know what kind fan do u guys recomend for my set up t2 w/ 13b re and a half bridge port and a gt40 turbo right now i am running a fluidyne and a black magic fan.

If it does it on the interstate, it is NOT the fan that is the problem. Make sure the rad is good, and that everything is hooked up right. And make sure air can flow well on both sides of the rad. As for two thermostats, wtf? I have no idea how that would be rigged, or if it would even work. Anyway, you can forget about the fan causing the problem.

I agree i don't think the fan is the problem. but at the same time what is a good e-fan for my set up or is what i have good enough ? right now i run at 180 degres and it might jump to 190 win i get on it hard. Have u heard off the scirocco style fans

That's perfectly normal.
