I hear that. I just chose to have radiator only.

With stock fans I once overheated on the freeway with a/c on because one fan wasn't running due to a bad relay. Fixed relay, overheating gone.

I had coolant ejection on my bugeye, when the a/c fan wore a whole through the upper rad hose. That didnt work well.

I've gone full stupid - no ******* way I'm turning off my ac again on interstate because of 3" Begi hogging all the air causing overheating...
I will be welding a cross bar to make up for the section i cut out - and I've got aero catch to replace the hood catch










After cutting **** out













Now for the ducting to feed the top section of cond/rad over the ic. And ducting from bottom between the cond and rad.

That's what she said...

Also. You really shoved that thing in there

IC mounted by their "stock" mounting points - which is still off-center. They welded mounting tabs to bolt down on one of the tow bolts on each side.

you can clearly see it's off-center to clear the a/c dryer.

Gene, any data to report back? I was thinking about raping my front bumper support today but didn't......

Yeah, but i posted the following in the wrong fan thread. I haven't taken it back on track but running my ac is no longer a issue when cruising. However, in stalled traffic, it will cut out on high pressure because I didn't duct the gaps between the condenser and radiator - so cooler air to radiator but bypassing condenser. I also need to likely shroud as street car (primarily).
Using single ebay 12" fan and a smaller 8" - if this fails, then I'll pick up a spal. I used the end plates from my Kognition wing since Passey hooked me up with his version for the Kog wing - i did help support him on it )
Still need to get some dom tubing and weld in a brace to replace the section i cut out.
More ducting at sides and from under needed - today.







And since i cut out the hood catch assembly, i had to install my aerocatch.

I'm using a single Spal 16 with a full shroud and still have a/c. The condenser is not sealed to the radiator because it is more important to me that the radiator maximum receive air, but everything works very well. The fan draws a lot of air and sounds like a tornado. Don't let squirrels, cats, or small dogs walk by the bumper mouth while it is on. It also draws current pretty well when combined with the a/c compressor, which makes it tougher for the old ms1 to keep going. But that's not the fan's fault.

If it helps you any, I wire a boost solenoid inline with high-current draw devices like my fans, that way the motor instantly gets more air when the fans turn on. My setup my RPMs actually go down 40-50 RPMs once the fans go from Low to High due to higher alternator load. So I set the orrifice to get enough airflow to raise it back. It's dirt simple and now the fans kicking on is barely noticeable vs before.

Just bought it Steve - thanks for the lazylink!
further testing today, 96f and ac didn't cut out on high pressure switch and also didn't start overheating. I kinda had to test as i just had the windows tinted and he said no opening windows for 2 days. Car looking menacing now - me likes

A good ecu should be able to do this with the IAC valve.

Can anybody tell me the dimensions of the stock fan? Like the size of the shroud (height, width)?
