Just wanted to show the new Koyo radiator and Flex-a-lite fans installed. Besides the cooling benefits and full thermostatic control, it's so much quieter now too ... no issues installing, everything fits perfect. Oh, and for those interested I am selling the other aluminum radiator of mine ... http://www.nissaninfiniticlub....80755.

Yep, quieter because it doesn't come on all the time. But even when it is on it is much quieter than the clutch fan.

Thanks. 400whp/392ftlbs @ 16psi right now, and butt rich. Have to re-dyno soon for better tuning and higher boost, just have'nt had the time.

Thanks man! Although, I must admit that your signature movie is a bit unnerving .

Yes, I think it is. It's a bit harsh on bumpy roads, but that could be resolved with different spring rates. However, I bought it with a dual purpose (1) to have easier ability to swap spring rates between street and strip, and (2) obviously to drop the car. I'm eventually going to add the adjustable servo-motors that Tein offers now.

It's from my understanding that if your 240 has a/c then you can have a thermostatically controlled fan. I took off my clutch fan because i have a/c and the electric fan that comes with it. Comes on when the coolant reaches a certain temp. Since i've put water wetter in there, the car's oe coolant gauge reads a tiny bit lower than the " symbol for normal range. It's awesome. I still want a Koyo though and new electric fan wouldn't hurt.

Phase2motortrend sells Koyo's for the s13/s14 as well.

Scotty, would you mind measuring the depth on the fans for me?I'm trying to find out if they will fit in a different car, but need to know depth from the radiator face to the farthest protruding point on the back of the fans.

Thanks, Chris
