More things happened today.
Here you see we install a Fluidyne radiator with a SPAL fan. SPAL is pretty much the best fan you can lay your hands on,they are OEM for many high end Italian super cars. The fan we used is a 13" slim line fan which moves 870 CFM ( This is rated installed on a 2" thick core radiator) , the stock is around 600 CFM.
We stock These fans.
Many over look the cooling system on a Turbo vehicle, Not only is the engine now making more horsepower but the air flow is restricted by an intercooler.

These fans are designed to be either a puller or pusher, They are not a universal cheapy auto parts fan.



Just for that little extra we built the fan bracket from aluminum and polished the top of the radiator. We do alot of little TLC things when builing projects like this , It not only looks better it shows you really care about what you do.


This shows the amount of clearance we have, Everything fits back in it's place. This setup is efficient to around 450whp and has a full 3" down pipe, an intake tube , AC, OEM over flow tank and it looks like it belongs.

If you look close you can see there is a support bracket for the intake tube, Without this, the silicone connector in time would split and the intake and filter would rub and rattle inside the engine bay. Take you time and don't over look the little things that add reliablity.



A before and after pic....Enjoy.



Next the gauges, boost controller and fluids. Then it ready to start and tune.
Stay Tuned......
