Can vouch for adsports work. He threw my cooler on my 32 in a few hours. Very neat work

heard about a few people praisin Kermit Engineerin on SilviaWA

seems like a good fabricator

dont chop the end of the fan blades its a big no no it will put the fan out of balance and f**k it up.. do what i did and buy a longer silicon hose and raise the pipe up

if you dont cut it straight... i cut mine so did every other person i know with a 33.. no biggie just popped it out and disk sanded it into a new custom shape haha... as long as its all symetrical you cant go wrong.

[MMM]

its still dodgy

[alpinestars]

jap kits ftw!!!!

A friend of mine had one fitted at Autoworx.. they sell a full kit for $550 or supply and fit it for $990. he doesn't chop the fan like most installers do and does a really neat job cutting around the frontbar which is the most time consuming part of the job.. he has details on his website at http://www.autoworx.com.au/accessories.htm

Trust this guy! He's practically a doctor!

My fan wasn't cut during the install of a front mount.

cutting of the fan? dodge ftw.

You shouldn't need to cut the fan to have the FMIC fitted, use some larger silicon hose.

but hey if it works it works.

my kit i didnt have to do cut the fan due to it have a slight mandrel bend and a tab on the pipe to connect to the motor which most china dont do right

[fcruz3r]

so how much did adsport quote for the job? ..did they cut the fan blades or just user longer joiners?

forward facing plenum + electric thermo-fan FTW!

you shouldn't have to cut the blades, if you do, chances are the piping is going to be dodgy and cause other problems (the rolled lip isnt big enough and the cheap hose clamps either snap, or slip off the small rolled lips )

fan looks attached to the engine...belt or crank driven by the looks of it

there is 4x 8mm nuts holding it onto the pulley for the water pump.

unbolt it off there, and run a electric thermo-fan instead!

i just did that with mine.. just wating for the fan to arrive now.

how much was the elec thermo fan?

[mitchy_]

umm.... i think it was about $300, but i bought twin 12" fans..

otherwise a single 16" is slightly cheaper..
