I almost met them last Friday, Sophia had other plans though and wanted attention.
Hopefully they'll come out again some Friday.

You can count on a few people almost always being there. Fewer if the weather is cruddy though.

From what I remember, you need to remove the fan itself before the shroud will come out. Of course, if it is a junkyard car I am sure you could find a way without removing the fan...

I think the fan attaches with 4 10mm nuts/bolts.

I think you are missing the point

I am removing the E-fan from my 91 FC

I have a clutch fan I want to put in

in order to do this I need to remove the efan and fan housig (or do I?)

I am looking for the best easiest method that won't destroy the fan shroud

with shroud out of the way the fan install would be very easy

also does it then become a nightmare to put the shroud back on with fan installed?

GSGT you could probably combine the two and still spend less than a TII
all you'd have to do is swap his drivetrain over to my car (oh and the TII ECU and TII fuel pump)
mine has the 4 piston brakes, the interior is in mint condition, and it has a carbon fiber TII hood already

Are you talking about the guy above? I was actually thinking that, but he has an S4, while you have an S5, would that create difficulties in wiring?

as long as you moved the S4 ECU over withe engine there should not be an issue
do some searches there has to be a few thread (probably in the archive folder) in the second gen forum
you know it has to have been covered at some point

I have a ton. haha here is a short list

The car started out as a 1987 t2 all the upgraded parts have about 500 miles on them

-a few spare housings/Irons: mostly s5 turbo housings some ok, some not ok

- I have fresh RA apex seals with barley 500 miles on them

- s4 turbo rotors that are practically brand new

-s5 turbo rotors

-both s4 and s5 flywheel counterweights

-polished Upper and lower intake

-ACT clutch and lightweight flywheel

-Manual steering rack

-two A/C compressors (if you want A/C)

-Energy suspension bushings all the way around the car (that was a serious pain in the *** to do)

-Tein adjustable camber plates

-Ground control coil overs and KYB AGX shocks

-braided stainless steel brake lines

-I rebuilt both the brake and clutch master cylinders

-DTTC elimination bushing

-Semi regid poly motormounts

-I cleaned and painted the wheel wells, and the engine bay with a super strong PPG urethane which came out really well

-It has a custom v-mount set up with a nice size aftermarket IC and a really nice crossflow radiator

-Black magic electric fan

-I also have the stock IC and two stock radiators

-megasquirt standalone ECU with custom wiring harness

-innovate LC-1 wide band O2 sensor

-I also have the Rtek 1.5 ECU and a stock wiring harness to go with it

-2x 1000cc RC engineering secondary injectors and 4x cleaned and flow tested 550cc stock injectors

-optima redtop relocated to the driver side storage bin

-Walbro 255 pump

-Stainless braided fuel lines and AN connectors

-Aeromotive fuel pressure regulator

-greddy intake adapter

-Stainless steel braided oil lines

-I went throught the entire wire harness when i did the megasquirt

-I have a T 03/04 hybrid turbo and an s5 turbo with a fresh rebuild and two s5 tangental exhaust manifolds

-It has s5 front and rear bumpers and i have all the s5 trim as well

- BLitz sequential blow off valve

-It has the nice hubcentric adapters that are sold on the Rx7club forum, cant remember the brand

-Gen3 wheels, with five brand new tires, and the stock T2 wheels

-Really nice Hella dual beam headlight set up

-Bosch 100amp alternator

-Extra aluminum stock hood that I was going to weld a reverse flow vent into

Probably more that i am missing.

absolutely has been covered. From what i recollect the main problem is the ECU/Wiring so you need the S4 wiring, the front housings from an s4 (electric OMP) and an s4 ECU. I have the s5 electric OMP as well and front cover, but i dont know how well that would work. If you stick with the standalone it really does not matter.
