Ello there!

I was a bit bored this evening,so i decided to work on the SX.I decided to take out the injectors.I want to see if their spray pattern is equal,and if they are working properly.If not,then i will have them sonically(sp??) cleaned.

When i finished that,i decided it was time to put on the electric fan i bought on Saturday.I hate the stupid WOOSH sound of the stock one Warning!Warning! Sh1tty photo alert

Engine bay space? WHAT engine bay space?

You will chop my fingers no more you evil fan from hell!



Ello!Look at the space!



The new fan ready for action (well,allmost!)Needs to be wired



I did both of it,and i didn't even break anything!Yeeehaa

Always nice when you can do one project without breaking something and causing another .

Fan setup looks much better. How are you controlling it?

Thanks for the postive comments!

I went for a "quick" beer last night after work,and ended up going home at 12:30 this morning. hahaha.So no work will be done tonight,other than sleeping!

I will be running a temp switch in the radiator hose,(Will go for one that switches it on at about 90deg (194 F) running through a Bosch 30Amp relay.

Will be using some nice thick wiring so it doesnt melt or smoke. hahaha

I hooked up the injectors last night outside of the engine,and cranked it.

All of them sprayed the same,and the spray pattern was ok on it.

I decided to have them cleaned in any case.

Will have them back tomorrow,so i can install them

I really hope its going to help

yes,i have been having running problems for a long time now.It pings with more than 6PSI boost,at more than half throttle.

Been hunting down all the " possible" causes

I got back the injectors,and they look good as new after being cleaned!

Lets hope it helps!
