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

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
