Thread: car getting hot pretty quick

I was looking at 12in Fal fans

heres the link
Flex-a-lite 112 Pusher/Puller Straight Blade Fan | eBay

are these good

Any fan that is a pusher and a puller fan is not as efficent as a fan that is designed to be a puller or a pusher.

Get real fans people SPAL.

Spal has proven to me to be great quality, I have 115,000 miles on them and a/c all the time. Never had an issue with them and all the turbo heat on them.

Dre, what SPAL fans do you recommend? Any specific ones? If it matters I have the SE-R R1977 Koyo radiator.

I am on the road right now, when i get home later i will get you a part number. Send me a pm reminder.

^^ Actually Miko I would be interested in fan choice as well.
Blair, if you get a pm, can you send me the info as well if its not asking too much?? Thanks



If you are asking questions like these, you are in for a world of hurt and tons of wasted $$$$ and before you know it, all you will have is a pile of parts, a car in pieces and no money. The the part out/no money/unfinished project thread will ensue shortly after..........

I will share the sentiments of KISS as well. Get your basics down first. A simple T25/T28 setup on a regular good condition SR20DE and you will be set for quiet some time. Forget about the SR18. Its a bit of a waste in my opinion, especially with how low prices are for a good condition DE.

Actually on second thought, swap in a stock DE, go read, research, and then a year later pick up a turbo setup.

P.S. Ask Kojima about dropping sleeves and why he recommends AGAINST it (albeit, this is for his race car, but some of the same ideas/concepts as to why all the sleeves he has had has "dropped" will apply to your situation with boost).

Good luck

Didn't get an update yet. I figured he didnt get online last night.

well i think im gonna get a regular sr20 de motor and use my turbo kit cheapest route and i wont have to scarifies the big power lost. i also think i found a new mechanic really knows his stuff so working on getting this money together and hopefully ill be back on the road by end of the month

SPAL fans to use. These are puller fans, which means they are on the engine side like stock fans. I use the 11" fan.

11" Puller 30100364 or ( VA09-AP8/C-27A )

12" Puller 30100375 or ( VA10-AP9/C-25A )
