that sounds like its definalty good enough

 

I like Flex a Lite fans... Idk what the difference is between the two as far as life span and performacne go but I haven't heard bad things about them

 

i had permacool fans on my rb20 and they worked quite well.
remember tho that most fans are rated at a hypothetical cfm and thats in a puller arangement, when set up as pushers they are only approx 80% as efficient as if they were pullers.
make sure that what ever fans you use cover most of the radiator and have a combined airflow of atleast 3k cfm, that will keep the motor plenty cool.
also ducting is key with rb swaps so some simple sheetmetal ducts will work wonders.

 

Well i just installed two fans, a 12 inch permacool and a 14 inch one, both pushers, Fluidnye Rad, and N1 water pump.. at idle when warm the fans keep my temp right about the 2nd, mid second notch up.. as soon as i start driving my temp plumets back down to nothing.. so basically this allows me just to turn them off while driving, and if i come to a rest for a while turn them back on.. otherwise my motor stays nice and cool.

 

If I could afford a set of flex-a-lite's I would get em, If I could afford a set of permacool's i would grab those up, lol. I might do like shockster said and run a 14" permacool and one of those cheapo 12" 1500 cfm jobs. I just dont want her heating up on me.

Yeah I'm hoping my ebay sheetmetal duct will help with my cooling issues. Some see as much as a 20 degree difference. I saw on a website where I guy tested the affects of different fans and ducts and radiators with a SR to see what worked best and had the greatest benefit adn the duct was the winner. For 15 bucks why not get one. I am currently running a permacool 14" which sounds like a vacuum cleaner its ridiculous. I am running a 12" off brand one. The permacool is ran of a temp switch and the 12 is running off a manual switch. My car still ran hot after the fmic was attached. It could have been from the blocking of the radiator or my IC ducting. I'll figure it out one way or another. If I find that site where they experimented I'll post it up. Dual 12" will be good I had dual 10" and they were fine with the SMIC. I also switched to the skyline radiator instead of the sohc one I had.

 

A duct like a cooling panel? Or simply something behind the side openings of the bumper? lets see that ebay duct, i searched and came up with zilch.

 

same deff post a pic

I plan on getting a Renova panel, but for 10 or 20 bucks cant pass up getting one of these til then.

 

Panel is what I meant I said duct cause it basically ducts the air through the radiator instead of up and around as it normally would do. I figured you guys would understand what I was talking about. Sorry not to clarify.

OK heres what I got. 1 12" pulling 1500 CFM and 1 14" pulling 2300 CFM.

Also got one of the cooling panels on the way. I will post pics for those who wanted them.

 

I like pizza-flavored Pop-Tarts


Nice fans, where did you get them...price? 3800CFM should keep everything nice and cool...

 

I got'em on sale from a local place called White Performance & Machine. Cant beat it plus they have a warranty so its basically like cheese you can play with out side, and it doesnt just come in cheddar. Hellz yeah!

 

I used the a/c fan from my car and from my clip next to each other acting as pushers and i've never had cooling promblems since.

 

Does anyone still have the plastic shroud for the belt-driven fan from their GTS-T clip?

I'm running the KA fan and it fits pretty well w/ a few modifications. All I need now is the shroud I shouldn't have thrown away... But I do plan on getting fans in the future. Also I'll probably make the ducting for the rad.

 

what does everyone think about the Dual FAL 220s? They're pullers and require a Koyo, but the price is decent.

I have heard of people using a Ford Taurus 3.8l cooling fan. Has anyone tried this? This is a puller fan and I didnt know if it could be switched to a pusher.

 

taurus fan most likely will not fit as a puller in an RB swap, shroud is to thick i do believe and will either hit or come very very close to the timing cover. SR and KA dudes use um tho.

 

The FAL's are too damn expensive for me. I have less than 50 bucks in the ones I got on sale.
