Yea I really have NO room for a dual fan setup, it's so tight in there!!flartius wrote: ↑Thu Apr 12, 2018 2:20 pmI have a Mishimoto with dual 12" pushers on it and still have a heat issue when I'm sitting in traffic for awhile. Thinking about going back to the stock radiator with the clutch fan. Most people who do that don't have any issues with heat anymore.
As far as clutch change, the hardest part will be getting the tranny off the back of the motor and back on the motor. My suggestion would be to use a hoist if you have access and unbolt the engine mounts to tilt it back so you can get to the bellhousing bolts as well as have room to slide the transmission out of the pilot bearing. Good luck and let us know how it goes!
I'm really interested in what happens to this build.
There's room, when I swapped my RB25 in I opted to keep the condenser because I want to have A/C eventually, so my setup is radiator>condenser>dual 12" pushers>intercooler. No, it is not terribly effective and I do have heat issues and it's only spring so time will tell. I plan to drain the coolant and flush the system as good as I can then put rubber weatherstripping between the condenser and radiator to maximize the amount of flow through the radiator and see how much of a difference that makes.TreyE wrote: ↑Thu Apr 12, 2018 2:59 pmYea I really have NO room for a dual fan setup, it's so tight in there!!
I don't even have room for a clutch fan setup, I thought about that route. Pullers are slightly more efficient, if you have room I would try that? Or one puller one pusher? I think I might have to notch out my radiator support, tilt it forwards some and get the dual shroud to take care of my temp problem unfortunately. I live in Florida too so it gets crazy hot, I have to come up with a solution. We will see once my gauge comes in what I'm reaching - I'm sure I'll be disappointed but helps to know at least and not have to try and rely on the stock needle gauge. If it's anything like my gas gauge, who knows what it's actually at temp wise
MY mistake!! Read too fast. Until I replace stock intercooler ( or whatever it is) up front, which is RIGHT in front of the rad, I cant put pushersflartius wrote: ↑Fri Apr 13, 2018 3:29 amPUSHERS my man, I said pushers. No you will absolutely have no room behind a mishi for a fan setup. You're just as tight in there as I, so hopefully I can bring forth good news about cooling one of these days but not today. Again I have ready where people have ran the clutch fan behind the stock r33 radiator but for now I'm relying on my dual 12" pusher setup.
Thanks! It has some decent Stance GR+ coilovers on it that do well enough for what I want for now with damper settings etc. they’ll serve ok for the time being I think. Yea I’m going to take the brakes apart and get them coated soon. Need to order the brake lines and such.Mitec wrote: ↑Sat Apr 21, 2018 12:08 pmThat is one beautiful chassis, good find!
I like the brake upgrade as well. Since you want to do autox, I might look into some nice suspension upgrades before you swap a new engine in. Wish mine had gone that way instead of diving straight into the engine, but oh well lol.
