going with an efan from rotary power...



oh and the install ....i had to make mods to the brackets....thats what took up ther most time..but besides that easy install...it took about 2hrs

 

Put Your Fan Shroud Back On!!!!!!!!!

 

that blingin radiator aint gonna do **** with no shroud on it.

 

1. replace fan shroud (as mentioned)

2. keep stock fan w/ working clutch.

nothing will EVER move more air or cool better than the above setup.

Nice rad, though

 

whats the CFM on the stock fan? an electric fan(s) is only useful if you install it correctly with a fan shroud to out flow the stock fan. its hard to make an electric fan out produce the stock fan without some sort of air control. go save your time and money and spent it else where.

 

Vintage air 18' efan pulls 3800 cfm which is better than a stock clutch fan. Also there is a guy that races Jaguars in New Hampshire and jags rads are incredibly small for the large cars they have to cool and his fans pull 5000cfm. But last I checked they were very high dollar. But speed costs.

 

im using a ford escort fan in my fc, and it cools great it has never hit over 190 and that is on low speed fan mode and on a 90 degree day going up a huge hill, but if u arnt going e fan get that damm shroud on...

 

i will be going with efan but in 3 weeks....will do

 

looking at your engine bay looks exactly like mine. Same everything but the BOV and FANSHROUD. trust me, your engine will run alot hotter than you think. i was running at about 230°F when i first ran it w/o the shroud in 25° weather. with the shroud it never went over 200

 

Why? From what i see in the pics your car is a s5 TII, and thats a s5 koyo radiator, should bolt up to stock mounts. It went perfect for me S4 koyo and s4 car, bolted right up.

 

Yeah, I was thinking that same thing. They are made to bolt right up to the car...

 

its about 90 to 100 everyday here in SFV (LA) and i have no fan shroud and no thermostat and i never see the gauge move above 1/4th the way up.. i dont know how hot that is exactly but i'm sure its very cool.

 

go with a ford taurus 2 speed efan out of a 3.8ltr, i did this conversion and i have never seen above 185degon my autometer gauge, i got mine at a j-yard for $25 and bought a relay from napa for $47 and it works like a charm and has done so for over 3 years now.

 

Does anyone know what the stock fan moves at regarding CFM's? I was told that a black magic fan would pull alot more air? great now im confused.

 

ok so i put the fan shrowd back on and now my car barely hits half way point on the stock temp gauge...the other night we were runnin hard and i was way below normal....but i had been drivin for about 20 mins. very happy with the koyo....i dont know y it didnt fit right up but i had to drill holes in the brackets but its all good i like it

 

mines bolted right up...hmmmm cuz the s4 and s5 are different maybe?

 

but urs is a s5 isnt ....hmmmmm all well maybe i should go back to sleep
so tired =P

 

how much did it cost you, if u dont mind me asking?

 

werd I need to buy one within the month
