damn the fastest i did was like 126 cuz all the damn traffic, all the fds just blew by me n some of the fcs. i need to save money n go turbo already so that i have somewhat of a chance. or maybe ill just skip turbo n go 20b. lol

 

I would be a little worried about this. Check for leaks.

 

yes,next will be that and an eletric fan,and change all hoses on intercooler pipes

 

I had to lower my AC I was too cold =]

 

Noooooooo, don't do the e-fan. I switched back to the stocker and its so much better.

 

Shut Up! lol. On the way home, I was stuck in 3.5 hours of stop and go traffic on rt95. I looked at my temp gauge for outside and it said 114*F and 102*F inside the car. Combine that was the humidity. That made for a CRAPPY ride home.

 

How did you have your e-fan setup?

 

True Dat... The highlight was seeing 20 foot flames from your exhaust!

Great job haulin ***, njstreetrx7!

My wife was praying in the car... lol

This year was more traffic on the roads and more cops, I think it had to do with the weather.

Hopefully next year we can go all out!

See ya at the next meet.

I had a black magic setup on a koyo rad with bunches of ducting in place. I also have a large greddy FMIC. I had to take the e-fan out because on the 90+ degree days my temps would creep, and my AC was pretty much unusable because they'd skyrocket.

I switched to the stock fan and my temps now are almost always right at the t-stat even on the hottest days (86-88c) and I was able to drive to and from rotorfest with my ac cranking.

 

Wow. Lotsa drama!
Good to see that Jersey shows are still Ghetto!

I kinda miss those 3 hour drives up to E-Town and Atco. Shows on this side of the country are just straight-up poser rice expos compared to the funky complexity of east coast shows.

Wish I could have been there to watch Vosko get neutered.

 

damn that was nyt shooting the massive flames?......i was right behind you for a long while....those fire ***** were out of control!

 

Driving home with the A/C on was nice....

It was damn hot out there....

 

you're not the only person to say that but i got the gt300 cf hood and its in the way but pm me and tell me what happen to you.

 

You guys and you AC! Bastards.

 

I had to turn down my AC...was starting to get brain freeze...

Not sure if the ac works in my fb. I cut the belt as soon as I got the car. It would have been nice to have it since my *** was stuck to the leather by the time I got home.

 

noooooo my car doesnt shoot fire I have it tuned to not do that crap =]

my car is the black fc with the bigass intercooler

I was using a fiberglass vented hood with an e-fan setup. I tried everything, all the ducting I could put in, water wetter, turbo blanket, etc. The temps would still creep up on the hot days, and there was no chance in hell I could leave my AC on long enough not to overheat.

That hood moved a decent amount of air out from the engine bay. Once I switched to the stock fan I was able to put my stock hood back on since I liked it better =]

Nothing really happenned, the e-fan just couldn't move enough air to keep the car cool, especially with the big FMIC.

The stock fans move a massive amount of air. With my a/c off the temps dont come over 86-88 even on the hottest days in traffic or on the highway.

 

ahhh, I had the A/C out as soon as I got the chance. Whatever it takes to keep those water temps cooler. The heat didn't bother me on the Rotorfest trip.

 

The heat bother me all day long!!! My water temps were in the high 90s and every time I hit an incline on 80 the temps would climb to the mid 100s. Forget about boost or anything over 75mph...

my caravan sucked ***!!!! I knew I had to stay in the back and how much that was gonna suck but the heat i wasnt counting on.

 

Ha, I never went over 85*C. Fluidyne - Condenser = Cool engine

 

That was njstreetrx7 in his bad *** batmobile shooting those massive flames... No wonder it was so dam hot that day... His FD was heating up the atmosphere with that flame thrower!

njstreetrx7><me.... lol

 

maddslow at what temp does your fan turn on... Cuz on my power FC commander i be seeing 97* C but then it drop to 91 to 92* C...... I'm running a Koyo Radiator and a monster Intercooler that looks like it belongs on a truck

 

Can you adjust the Hysterisys? The difference between the on and off temps? I like have the fan turn off at around 85-88*C and on at around 95*C (203*F)

That is very interesting. This brings me back to the static pressure within the shroud since the air has to pass through 3 heat exchangers. I figured at idle and low speed crusing the e-fan would win hands down since the clutch fan would be moving less then 1500 CFM of air. During high speeds, both fans should not be helping at all.

Also, how was your shroud designed? Standard rectangle 90 degree corner shroud?

When would your temps creep? What type of driving, at what speeds?

 

lol.....i wonder what my temps were
