Hey guys,

Well it comes the time, when we had to trim my clutch fan to make room for the cooler piping, and now ive noticed the temp go up slighty not too much tough. Ive decided to put twin thermos from a AU in, and would like peoples susgestions, ive looked on the forums and overall people are happy with thermo fans, but i would like to know what the best would be for a r34 rb25det neo6 engine. Has anyone done it and has it fit? what are the downsides.

BTW when the air con is on the temp jumps threw the roof i need this fixed guys!!! please help me out.

Cheers guys! any one who has done it to a r34 i would really like to hear from you ;)

i honestly think your wasting your time with twin thermo fan setup ...

my first suggestion would be to get your original radiator modified to twin core for $350 or less and then if that aint enough i would get a low temp thermostat and you shouldnt have any troubles even on track days....

cheers

What would keep it cooler, i just need it to be cooler. Any options guys? Need to know asap. Thanks!

Anyone did the setup to a r34 or r33 what you guys think?

Bummmmmmmppppp common guys i need answers! :P getting the car tunned in 2days dont want to boost it with this cooling system.

HELP HELP HELP HELP!!! :(

Bump common guys i need some help :happy: What would you guys perfer one big 16inch thermo or two twins? or even just keep the clutch fan with a small thermo........................

Please any suggestions guys! cheers!

ISNT THERE ANYONE OUT THERE WHO HAS DID THIS or somthing similiar lol.

i do lots of rb conversions into silvias and i use 2 12in davis craig fans on a r32 gtst radiator and i have never had any overheating problems

i have then hooked up on a custom thermo fan relays with a custom thermo switch (which btw plugs straight in to the r32 overtemp thermo switch ) the thermos are switched on at 85.c

A low temp thermostat should fix your prob at the moment, i went two 12" davis craig fans on my 180 with a temp switch and for all the effort and money i should have just kept the clutch fan with a low temp thermostat.

how much lower of a thermostat did u go as the factory ones open up at 76.c

i would like to know about this also. after installing my fmic on a bit of an angle and moving my horns up to the only place catching cold air for the radiator the car sometimes heats up a bit when its hot.

my clutch fan still seems ok and ive replaced the thermostat with a standard one.

which thermostat is lower in temp and suits the r32? i used the one listed for the rb30 r31 skyline one.

Before we all go suggesting to this person a low temp thermostat... I think someone should outline the negatives of getting one installed as well.

I have one from ARC; yet to put it in because I've heard it has negative aspects which is not ideal for street applications.

well give the negatives and im sure ill answer any questions that i can...

Can't remember all of them but one of them was longer warm up times???

well thats actually wrong because it doesnt open up untill it get's to that temp so when it get to 65 or 70 depends which thermostat u get then it will open up fully ...eg: your stuck at lights your temp goes up and then your thermo opens up to cool the engine..warm up is not an issue as the car just sits there and warms up pretty fast .. but i suggest u do your radiator first and then go from there..

cheers

Hi, I work for a radiator shop in New Zealand, We do cleanouts/alloy race rads/oil coolers etc.. (I manufacture race rads/intercoolers)

I would recommend getting your radiator rodded out (cleaned out) and a new top tank put on. I can't say if this will fix your temp problem, but go to the most obvious problem first, maybe your radiator is actually blocked..

I've pulled apart 2000 model cars and they have been as blocked as they can be..

Just a thought.

i agree you....yay some progress

radiator first!

I don't think a low temp thermostat will help much. It might delay the overheating slightly but it's inevitible. Your radiator and fans as they are can only do so much cooling.

I would replace the radiator if I was you but if you want to go thermo then go for one 16" rather than two 12". It pulls a lot more air. Supercrap have them for about $90 at the moment. Dunno how good they are though.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
