Gents,

Its been too long since i have posted on these forums i suppose the issue of having no money to work on my car. sigh

Anyway ill post a build thread later with all the details.

what i need to work out is if there is a mechanical fan that is better than any std fan for use on these engines.

atm i have a 50mm rad with a 14inch thermo on the front pushing air through. we have tried front and back (no change)

so after a long talk with PWR today a thinner 42mm rad with a mech fan is the best solution.

Has anyone ever used anything other than the standard fan on a skyline? (mechanical that is)

im just after some ideas.

Twin thermo setup from BA Falcon can be made to fit relatively easy. Full shroud included in the assembly. Readily available and priced very good. Stand-alone controllers are available, or do it via your ECU depending on what you are running.

Are you having problems keeping it cool? At all times, or not? What spec/condition is your thermostat?

Ill do one pass at winton. then when sitting queing for the next it will just slowly creep up even though the thermos are going flat chat.

Talking to pwr there was an intercooler issue i had a 120mm on the front. they said thinner but taller is better.

so now im looking at radiators they recomend a 42mm one. and then run the mechanical fan.

thoughts?

    • Details: Turbo Borg Warner EFR 9180 with 1.05 rear housing Upgraded TurboSmart integrated BOV Sanded and powdercoated compressor cover in gloss black Elbow welded with wiggins clamp Speed Sensor(Not included) (Can include oil drain(heat wrapped + titanium intake pipe with almost new filter for a tad extra). Manifold: 6 Boost RB26/30 twin scroll manifold  e-MAP ports drilled into both scrolls(I was using the TAARKS EMAP KIT) Turbo is in excellent condition. Always used Penrite 15w50 Racing oil(Changed less then 2000ks). Also using the Turbosmart OP regulator and filter. Downpipe: 4inch Stainless steel with VBand inlet and outlet clamps(included) Heat wrapped Dual ports for Dyno/Wideband usage Will throw in free 2.5 inch intercooler pipe(2.5inch From turbo outlet to 3.5 inch intercooler) - Powder coated black. Turbo made 563rwkw on mainline hub dyno at around 24-25psi boost - Pump fuel. Will def make over 600kw on e85. Didn't bother as my e-MAP was through the roof with my setup sitting past the choke line. I have a cnc ported and fully built head on my 3.2. Turbine speed saw max of around 109k rpm. I'm running this on my R32 GTR, with AC, and the original power steering pump. The manifold clears the AC lines, ABS, and everything else. Although I had new AC lines because I just wanted new ones and I heat wrapped them as well. This will make more power on a slightly lower capacity motor with a higher PR. And I have since upgraded to a G45-1500. Have pics and videos if need be.  Absolutely nothing wrong with setup. Turbo is in perfect condition. No shaft play or oil leaks at all. All the work was professionally done. The transient response of this is fkn amazing. I cannot rave more about this turbo. If I wasn't chasing 4 figures, I would have kept it. $5000 NZ. Located: Auckland, New Zealand.
