Hey Guys,

seeing as my cars in peice's and waiting for parts anyways im dropping my radiator off to get a fan shroud made up so suit 14" spal thermofans on the mishimoto radiator and wondered if anyone else is keen for 1.

i'll get prices tomorrow and see if they're keen to make a few of them aswell if need be.

(it'll get measured up tomorrow but they're pretty busy atm so might not have pic's to show for a while)

cheers, Theo.

spal's are nice and thin so should be right............ what did you use ?

Davies Craig; they're about 80mm deep +15mm for the shroud.

My set up literally cannot be any thicker; otherwise it will not fit down the back of the rad. I actually had to remove one of the 5mm spacers in the back of the fan, as it wouldn't go in.

You should have another 15mm to work with, as my rad is thicker, and sit slightly further back.

I'm interested Theo.

Depends on price of course.

GTM do one, but no chance considering price + shipping

Why?

You have twin thermos....? And they work very well.

I'm interested depending on price Theo.

If it's too expensive I'll just use the twin 12s, or mod the shroud I've got to fit 14s.

What is the issue with your 2x12" fan setup, Ryan?

I thought you were saying it held 88deg in 44deg ambient the other day?

Would have thought you'd be pretty pleased with that.

Yes, but larger fans (thus larger holes) mean it is easier for the air to flow through the radiator and out of the shroud when the fans are not on (I have not uprev'd yet remember) and also, larger fans with more efficiently designed (and numerous) blades with draw much more air through in less time than the stockies.

I haven't got them in yet - those temps were with the clutch fan.

Just keeping my options open in case I need to go to 14"s

Ahh, well that makes sense.

here is a teaser pic of the radiator fan shroud......... ballpark price is under $200 but i'll see what it costs me in the end and then work out how many people would like one and if he'll do us a deal.

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
