Sorry I have no idea what it is called but my turbo supra does not have that cover that goes around the fan. How important is this shroud/cover to the supra? Mine broke long ago.

If can would autozone carry them?

Ok thanks I will run to toyota tomorrow and if they do not have it I will ask around. I want to have everything done before I piece the car back together and start her up.

I got a brand new one I never used I'll sell you if you want.

Champion Toyota has it (part#16711-420010) about $59. This is the single
aux. fan ver. fan shroud.

the fan will pull air from around it instead of THROUGH the radiator

on the highway it may not matter, but at lower speeds or stop and go traffic its' VERY necessary...

^how much more does he need to elaborate?

its VERY VERY important.

what does that mean to you?
Ummm that it's not realy important and it's just something Toyota added to make millions on spares when they break at the built in fracture lines ;) <sarc>

(in case anyone hadn't noticed this is sarcasm it's a very needed part of a 7M cooling system)

kinda like people running without timing covers...

sure, it may work fine, but it's a risk...

IJ theres a new smiley to show sarcasm... i figured you would like it... :sarcasm:

as for the shroud... its a good thing to have...but the car wont blow up on your the second you turn it on if you dont. ive been running without it for over two years now...but i do have a fluidyne etc so it helps a bit....

they arent too expensive new so might as well grab one.
