Stick with the clutch fan. Electrics don't cool as good, and you are in the heat of the south. Other mods sound good, what power are you shooting for?
my new project 89 supra turbo 3E5 RED
- Thread starter suprarcr89
- Start date
500 rwhp... the bottom end will be fine with that with a good tune and I cant imagine wanting more than that....the sp63 will be capable of this power.. If I ever do get to where I want more hp than that ill build another 7m with stronger internals or drop a 2jz in... but for now 500 is my goal.... If i can find a piggyback with dual program capablity that i like ill have one set for track tune and one for street tune.. for street tune id like around 425 rwhp.... and 500rwhp for track
also plan to install fmic and hardpipes also.... wanting to find a front mount intake setup and q45 throttle body but ron isnt making them now and i want one that i can keep the a/c with... dont want to give up the a/c...
as far as the electric fan.. antman is running the fal dual electric fan setup on both his mkiii supra's and has never had an issue... and when I had my last supra I ran an electric fan setup with 180 thermastat and never had an issue always ran cool... below half pretty much stayed in the quarter mark range.... I just dont like clutch driven fans.... prefer electric... plus i will be dropping in a aluminum radiator probably by summer also...

actually this summer if all goes as planned im getting rid of the back bumper and going with a kamanari rear bumper thats all one piece
I love my dual FAL fans, but I'm planning to upgrade the wiring a bit, they have problems at the fuse holders and connectors some times to the point that the fuse holder just melts. They do a great job cooling though, and less drag on the motor.

thanks... yeah the thread kind of dissappeared because I hadnt updated it in a while..
Im hoping to find a piggyback that will do what I want.. I will post as I make progress and yes the dual flexalites are great.. but most in the south like the reassurance of a motor driven fan. but I have never had bad experience with them....

id rather go with one that has been flow tested.. plus no one here can fab that I trust around my car...

as far as melting fuses Ive seen that but not out of these fans..... are you running a relay on it and with big enough wiring.... anthony has never had any problems like this with his but hes also running a relay..... I had an issue with the electric fan on my mustang but I ran two relays that was powered by its on fuse and never had an issue after that...

Well I installed the driftmotion ss powersteering pressure line... to get rid of my leaking current pressure hose.... man I love it.... I have been dreading doing it because of how pesky it was to replace.... I just unbolted the stock ps line cut it so i could get it out without unbolting the rack took it out and tossed it.. hooked up the new driftmotion line and now I have no leaks whatsoever..... also anybody been debating getting this from driftmotion I highly recommend.. it routes alot better and saves room for bigger intercooler piping....
well just thought id give you the update that i fixed my ps leak..

every aftermarket body part on my car you can get from shine auto on here.. they are excellant products with great fitment.. there bomex replica parts.... sideskirts, whale tail wing, and rear bumper add ons.. Ive just got to get a lip or the greddy graceir front bumper replica to finish out the look
