i wish i could make it, the last pa meet was great

yup roadracing

btw guys i ended up going with a OE 195f stant superstat for a thermostat, i saw IJ recommended it lol. i have the rad installed, so far so good i only had it idling since i dont have the fans hooked up yet. i also installed my aftermarket temp gauge and my 130amp alternator to handle the...

here's an update, i got the radiator in finally and test fitted the fan... its a perfect fit with minor trimming :naughty:

it seems like my thread died but hopefully someone will chime in. my car is an 88 and i have that single fan which i beleive is connected to the a/c system. now is that fan triggered upon temperature or upon pressure in the a/c system. meaning if i leave that fan connected when i go electric...

ooo i dont think my car will be ready for auto x by then. but it would be a good day for a meet. i should have my car back together by then

here's the headlights. i know someone else has done this conversion already. but i think the whole shape matches better and my car doesnt look like it has eyes

i'm going a different route, i put the lights in and the car looked really weird.. like it had eyes lol. so i found a set of low profile headlights from another car that i will be fitting in after i finish my cooling project :naughty:

those plumbing couplers in the pics look like a bad idea... love the supercharger tho. my buddy has a spare one sitting in his garage.. hmmm

give me details about autocrossing :)

im gonna look into that pump. on a side note does anyone else have any comments on what temp i should set the fans on high too? the temperature switches only come in that 200f on and 185 on. btw the sensor will be installed in the waterneck before the thermostat (where the stock a/c and...

where do you get one of those IJ? does that completely replace the stock water pump or can u run one in parallel? also for those of you with electric fans where did you stick your temp sensor.

^its interesting, but it seems like complete overkill since i already have the greddy gauges installed in my cluster. it would be redundant to have that plus the gauge and a hell of alot more money lol.

also at what temp do you guys think the fans should switch to the high setting? 180 degrees? 190 degrees? on summit i see a 185on/170off and a 200on/180off. it sounds like i'd want the 185on but im not sure if the engine should be a certain temp to perform the best

i drew out a wiring schematic on how i will setup my fans. each fuse will be a 20amp. each relay will be a 30amp. and the diodes are there so i dont have any weird electric circles. I'm no electrical engineer so please bear with my drawing. lemme know if you guys see anything wrong.

no problem. here's my plan tho. i will have the low speed fan settings hooked up to a relay and wired directly to the battery via 30amp relay and fuse. and have it turned on automatically with the car. i will then have the high speed fan wire hooked up via relay to a simple switch on switch...

you guys are so persistent about not using e-fans. stop raining on my parade. :cry: i know its not the best idea, but i know it can be done and work for what i want it for. i just want some postive comments and postive help. such as fan comparisons, info about certian fans to use, amperage...

i am about to order a 130amp alternator since mine just died looking at this guy, what do u think? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TOYOTA-ALTERNATOR-SUPRA-HIGH-OUTPUT-130AMP-87-92_W0QQitemZ380059250329QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item380059250329&_trkparms=39%3A1|65%3A1|240%3A1318&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245

don't worry i dont believe in having just a switch. i plan on doing thermostat as well as manual override. :icon_bigg yea thats what i have been told.. i have also been told its not safe to boost a NA motor. we'll see how it goes, ill keep you guys updated. i'll always have my stock...

new toy!! i got lucky andgot a bunch of fans from my junkyard's all you can carry sale. can anyone guess which car this is from? it should fit almost perfect on our rad and seems to pull almost as much air as the famous Taurus fans (i have some forsale btw in the FS section) These fans...
