Again, nobody said your setup sucks. Nobody said your setup does not work. I am not here to tell people what to run either. And I am not making shit up either (prove Nismo thermostat cools engine better than oem thermostat).
But your setup is better in what way? When you can lay your hand on the valve cover? Or when your engine is running at 89-90 degree C, which is not even close to 180 degree F (maybe your engine is always overheating with the old setup)?
Oh, in case you cannot understand what I just said: NOBODY SAID YOUR SETUP IS SHITTY. NOBODY SAID YOUR ENGINE IS NOT RUNNING COOLER WITH THE NEW SETUP.
Just stop saying e fan setup is shitty. They are not.

I never said that e fans were shitty and where in anything I posted did I say e-fans suck. You do realize as well, that the clutch fan was meant to run with that engine? The idle will stay more constant as well as the temperatures during hard pulls. That is all I am saying. It gets HOT as hell where I live and the temps easily hit 100+ F with 80 to 100 percent humidity during summer days and at a stand still with the old electric fans, the car would overheat eventually after a 30 minutes or so. That is not the case now due to the mechanical fan.
The condenser was pretty clean as well before I switched so I doubt there was much if any benefit there? As far as the NISMO thermostat, it was 50 bucks and it opens at 62 degrees Celsius as compared to 76.x on the other one. It does not make the engine any cooler other than opening the thermostat sooner which makes it take longer to get up to operating temperatures. Who knows what benefits it could make other than if you track the car which I mainly run on the streets anyway.
I will say this, You can get more consistent cooling capabilities out of the old mechanical fan shroud combination. You may experience a little more lag when coming off boost but when you are making your power then it is not so obvious. To me the positives far out weigh the negatives. Then again it is your car and you can do what you want. This was a learning experience for me and that is why I posted it here. I could have saved myself a little money if I would just have made the mechanical fan work from the start instead of having to go through a 3 year learning curve.
on a average hot summer days I would see:
e fan setup: 95 -104 degrees Celsius
mech fan/ shroud with flex a lite small syclone fan: 88-90 sometimes 91 degrees Celsius
which would you choose?
