Hey,

Trying to keep temps down so would like to try a stock fan from a rb25 or rb26.

Currently have 2x 12" elec fans on a cheap alloy radiator, after i few hard mashes of the throttle, temp slowly rises.

Now,

Im just wondering what the differences between the two are?

I mainly interested in how far the fan protudes off the motor (i have minimal room between motor and radiator)

But any experiences with either fans accepted.

Thanks,

Dan

It will be the cheap ally radiator mate, I replaced mine with a stock GTR radiator and never looked back.

I was also running 2x thermo fans on the front (no aircon) as well as the engine fan.

Sorry, can't help with fan differences.

I found the cheap ally rad just heatsoaked horribly, after about 20mins on the highway the temp would start steadily climbing. Burnouts would get it hot enough to spit coolant everywhere.. put the GTR rad in and I could drop a 1-2min skid without throwing any coolant, temp never got over 105deg and would cool off reasonably quickly.

Something I have noticed with the newer engine fans is the blade count and design, must have been done for a reason :whistling:

Just a thought.. what water pump are you running?

i have a cheap alloy rad on mine no over heating issues, it dropped the temps and i had a GTR rad in there with 2 fans on the front, i still havnt put the shroud on either and its still sits below stock...... on another note my mate just had a similar problem for the last cupple of weeks wouldnt run right on startup sometimes and then slight heat issues at the track similar to your problem needless the say cyc 5 filled with coolant at the last track day so early days but dont rule out a head gasket issue

I wanna see where this goes. I experience occasional overheating in traffic.

I have a built RB26 in my GTT. Does anyone know if the stock clutch fan for a RB26 will fit?

FIT THE STANDARD FAN (the stock fAN AT 1500RPM WILL MOVE DOUBLE THE AIR ANY ELECTRIC FAN WILL.

same height.

32 gtr is straight blade and noisy. 33 and on is better.

This man speaketh the truth.

The stock fan will blow a veritable hurricane through your engine bay compared to thermos.

Been there done that. :down:

    • 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.
