Anyone Using Thermos?

You sort of need the timing chain... Why would you need to rip the pump out?

The stock fan provides way more flow than any thermo setup...

Timing chain?? Huh???

Re clutch fan, Its noisy,

Takes up room for other shit I.e catch can could sit nicely in front of motor.

There is plenty of room under the airbox for a catch can.

The stock fan is noisy because it is moving a lot of air. Have you seen the blades? A decent thermo will make more noise again and use more energy to flow less air. The series 2 M35 uses two large thermo's but it doesn't run as hot either.

The water pump runs off the main cam chain, and provides an idler function. You can't remove it or your engine won't run.

I have twin davies craig thermos with a custom shroud. If you decide to go down this path, then a shroud is a must. I also have a large alluminium radiator and with all of this replacing the standard set up there is very little gain in space in the engine bay...if that is your main reason for doing it.

I'm using twin thermo's in my C34 S2, only because i'm using a 2 core aluminum radiator. Also using a custom alloy shroud too.

To turn the the fans on i'm using a fan controller. They make more noise than the standard fan.

Oh I forgot you car has chronic overheating problems at anything other than street driving. Probably why the clutch fan is stuck on all the time.

Maybe some well designed twin thermos, say off a pnm35 might be able to sort that. :P

Try running that power and see what temps your engine gets to. (Oh, that's right. Glass bottom end, sorry)

If I was to run twin thermo's, the V35 setup you have would be the obvious option, but I have no need atm. I prefer to see results from my modification, not go backwards. :P

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
