Slim rad fan install and questions

[JeremyH]

Mid atlantic performance, hp performance. We use the dyno over across from Jay Tuckers shop, called all aspects motorsports i believe.

Eh....none really...couple of guys use Horsepower Solutions in Hampton but I never have....Mike Roush has his own shop in Richmond, Mid Atlantic Performance...I use Eddie (07 S197) for stuff I can't do myself.

I use All Aspects for dyno'ing as I can't stand DTP and they are still well known for their inflated dyno numbers.

LOL...i remember Greg telling me that about their dyno even back in the day lol

and mike roush...i remember seeing his car run at FFW back in 04 (i broke my tranny on my 2nd pass in true street)...i think it went a mid 11 at like 130 mph. that car is sick. the orange one with the turbo mod motor.

whats the stock radiator dimensions?
just width and height?

Anyone know how many amps the stock fans pull?

 

[matt texass]

Is there any way to offset the shroud with a certain amount of CFM and dual fans to cover as much space as possible?

 

[JeremyH]

im offsetting the shroud with more cfm and thicker twin core radiator with added capacity so yes im gonna add a bottle of water wetter to help out some as well

 

[JeremyH]

Anyone know how many amps the stock fans pull?

depends on load and fan speed i will take some readings

 

[matt texass]

I also know that Procharger seems to include a reduced fan shroud and fan. I wonder how much room it clears.

two 12" fans and fab up a very thin aluminum shroud... and robert's your uncle!

I looked into those too, expensive, maybe a procharger guy can measure and snap ya a pic.

Okay so at the plug with fan running on high i read 33 amps. I unplugged the fan connector and read 38amps at the pin so looks like it was drawing about 5 amps.
Also read 38 amps off the battery to check. This is all with the car idling.

I also got the car up to temp and let it idle for about 10 minutes. Popped the hood and fan was on high blowing some hot air off the radiator. Within about 2 minutes (the time it took me to take my readings the fan shut off for about 5-10 seconds and then kicked on low so opening the hood def lets heat out quick and the fan is cooling the radiator adequately so im happy about that.

Think i will cut a hole under the hood scoop as others have to let heat out easier at a stop.

Wish i had a water temp guage to check temps and compare slim fan/no shroud twin core radiator to stock fan/shroud stock rad id be interested in those numbers. I think the bigger radiator is whats helping me here i suspect the stock radiator would not fare as well with no shroud.

how is the fan working out?

 

[JeremyH]

Great! After all the negative stuff i was hearing about the no shroud, everythings been good. The oem temp sensor thing stopped working so i wired the fan to just run on high when it comes on and while the car is idling hot, the fan will still kick on and off so i know its cooling the radiator fine. Keep in mind i run a mish twin core all aluminum radiator so im sure that helps alot.

Wether you run a single or smaller dual fans i wouuld reccomend a minimum of 2,000 cfm flow.
