Stock clutch fan with the fan shroud and a fatty Griffon Radiator. While moving the car is barely above C.

I haven't even installed my Nismo thermostat too.

The Griffon radiator was the best investment ever in my car, besides the security stuff.

[MongolPup]

Mishimoto radiator, Mishimoto dual 10" fans in their aluminum shroud, Mishimoto silicone hoses, Mishimoto air diversion plate, Nismo high pressure cap, Nismo thermostat, bottle of Water Wetter.

My motor came with a clutch fan that had bent fins, it was a shame.

Nice sig too, as I sip my soda I'm sure someone spit in, I want to thank God for giving everyone else so much and me so little.

[mishimoto]

We run a Mishimoto radiator, shroud, and fans :).

Here is a little clip from an Import Tuner article reviewing our shroud and fans on an SR20DET.

Ditched my Koyo for a stock rad and stock E-Fan. Never got warm untill I sprung a leak.

[Tearlessj]

Mishimoto rad, stock (I think) thermostat, and 1 Altima fan ALWAYS on. I never get past 150f driving in stop and go traffic in 99 degree weather. I have go it up to 175f drifting though, never went past that.

[Om1kron]

I'll jump at a clutch fan the moment one becomes available, until then I have some super large ass radiator in my car, and a ford taurus fan.... car runs 70c resting and about 90c under daily driving loads.

The Griffon radiator was the best investment ever in my car, besides the security stuff.


Did it need any modification to properly fit on the shroud?

[civilized_drifter]

isis aluminum rad with f-a-l dual 12" fans, distilled water, water wetter. it runs below normal and it is way better than stock

[Pacman]

Heres what I don't get, I have a stock cooling system, live in the hills and deal with 100+* heat. I can run A/C with cruise set at 75MPH CLIMBING the hills on those days and the gauge never gets hot. If your overheating on a relatively stock engine (meaning bolt-ons) then you have a issue with your system. Clogged radiator or something. You shouldn't have to change things like thermostats or 3-core radiators to keep your engine cool driving streets. Its just a band-aid.

[Bigsyke]

Nismo thermostat, best upgrade yet.

I wouldnt run WW if your running coolant, its known to cause sludge in the coolant system if not changed out every year.

Use Honda Type II 50/50, it has surface tension modifiers

[RurouniMidnight]

i run koyo rad, nismo t-stat, dual fal 12", 50/50 + water wetter, and a breather tank on a 360whp s14 sr20 and i have serious heat issues. i have tried everything but at the track i've seen as high as 220 after 4 runs in 10 mins. i just did a water sprayer for the rad using the winshield washer tank but havn't tested it yet. other then that i'm stumped.

oh should mension that daily is a cake walk. temps stay around 165-170

use more water instead of running a 50/50 mix. also, use distilled water if it is easily available. you might also want to think about buying an oversized water pump pulley, you wont regret it.

are you running any type of oil cooler?

yes also running an oil cooler. i've tried 70/30 but it made no difference to me.

[Mister.E]

thats odd. a 90/10 mix seems to be working really good for me. you should definitely invest in the oversized water pump pulley, it helps A LOT. i noticed a big difference in my track temps when i put mine on

[rat240]

on my sohc
dual flex a lite fans

on my dohc stock every thing
not that much of a difference between e-fans and stock fan

:bigok: Nice!

[slidewaysmn]

Perma-cool fan, w/ modified oem shroud....isss niiice.

[SpdElemts]

Newer Ford Taurus electric fan (dual speed motor) wired up to two separate relays, one to control lower speed and one to control high speed. Nismo thermostat, stance under drive water pump pulley, koyo radiator, distilled water, and water wetter.

My car idles at 150-160*F on hot days with the slow fan speed on. With the high speed setting, I can bring down my coolant temps from 180-190*F to 150*F in about 1 min or less. On track drifting at button willow in the middle of summer my car will never go above 180*F with the fan on high. My lower radiator hose stays cold, i can even keep my hands wrapped around the lower hose.

No oil coolers that could cause oil starvation problems. Just good cooling system and RedLine 15w-50 or 20w-50 oil and no problems on the same motor for 2 years of hard drifting in the dessert bouncing off my bee*r rev limiter.

[Teddy]

I look at the temp gauge and if it gets hot I stop running.

Done.

[Brian]

I have some info

KA24DE
SPEARCO radiator.
Nismo thermostat (maybe not. Don't know to be honest)
Stock clutch fan with only the upper shroud.
water + water wetter.

It runs normally on the streets/highway around 71 or 72.

I took it to the track and ripped on it hard. (110 degree air temp / 140 track temp)
1.8 mile course. elevation changes. drifting....

It would get around 88 - 92 degrees after 6 or 7 laps.
I'd do a cool down lap and it would run back down to maybe 83 or 84.

[rbs14kouki]

got it all in


kinda looks like a s13's bay doesnt it

[TheRealSy90]

i have two twelve inch fans that are always on, along with a aluminum radiator, and i can't even drive my car in the daytime, it starts to heat up after like six blocks, i can drive at night but if i even try to get into boost i gotta stop and let it cool off, what should i do?

EDIT- redtop by the way

[wings_s13]

wow sounds like u^^^^^ got a blown head gasket, same thing JUST happened to me
get that checked man good luck

Im running 2 12in flexlight fans(always running) and a KOYO rad, also going to make a custom induction kit here soon
s13 red top

[TheRealSy90]

nah the headgasket is fine, it only does it when it's hot out, during the winter it ran great, and if i go drive around four in the morning when its at the coolest temp outside it runs great no heating up.

maybe i should add that where i live, i just looked up the week temperature forecast and it's straight 110 all week, it gets over 120 very often too

[burnsauto]

still get's warm....ugh better radiator time? or maybe vented hood?

[TheRealSy90]

i have the cxracing rad and hoses and intercooler, and gets warm just like yours hmm...

[singlecamslam]

i got a question, my set up is a koyo rad, with clutch fan and one puller fan infront of the clutch fan. My friends car is totally stock but i think he has a nismo T stat. After a drive i pop my hood and if you try to touch the valve cover its too hot to the touch. My friends on the other hand is warm to the touch. Could it be because of the T stat?

[Brian]

Why do some people cut the upper portion of their shroud?



So that the air shoots right up and out the vented hood.

SO MUCH air flies out of my hood. It's pretty wild.

[kognition]

FAL dual puller in full gack mode. IE: when motor goes on, i toggle the fan on. :bow:

[viperbite]

mishimoto radiator, shitty altima fans, stock thermostat. car barely even warms up.

drove in a practice day drift event sunday. about 90F outside towards the end of the day and it didnt overheat at all.

of course, i only have a ka

[wangan_cruiser]

koyo rad

taurus fan with shroud

t-static switch

stock t-stat


runs cool

60% water 30% coolant 10% water wetter.

[gearhead55]

Are any of you guys using pusher fans only? My RB25 S13 is set up with pusher fans because there isn't room to fit puller fans. Its got Dual flex-a-lites custom mounted as pushers and a mishimoto radiator. It seems like alot of air is escaping vertically when the car is not moving, using just my hands to feel it. Is this going to be enough?

[Discoballer]

stock everything except a Nismo stat and cap...runs one click below half way. good enough for right now.

[Gino]

In my experiences, no E-fan that I have seen will perform as well or as reliably as the OEM fan clutch. Most e-fans are meant more for race applications where it only see's a few laps of heavy driving then long cool down periods. If the car is a street car I would highly recommend keeping the OEM fan clutch. Sure you might lose a few hp through parasitic loss, but if the rest of your motor is efficiently modified it will barely be noticeable, if at all. Not to mention with an E-fan there is a lot more room for malfunction- a lot more things can go wrong as opposed to a very simple fan clutch.

personally on my Z I have a mishimoto rad with Nismo cap, OEM thermostat, and the OEM fan clutch.

[vvtisupra]

If anyone wants a gangster pusher fan let me know. I have one left over from one of my builds. Forgot who makes it, but when my friend was working at Baker Precision in Signal Hill he said that was the pusher fan flowed the most CFM. Its new. 100 bucks

a friend was running a similar set up on his sr running 10-11psi and at higher rpm's repeatedly the wather temp would gp up..

might wanna look into another fan possibly but try it and see how it goes
