Thermo fans and engine temps

[chris davey]

it is good when it is actually something really stupid and easy to fix rather than something terrible. Moral of the story: ALWAYS try the easy stuff first

[takai]

Aye, that is good. Good to see you back on the road properly now Shane.

cool that its sorted....if it makes you feel anybetter everyone sugested it cause they have done it them selves you'll find lol i had one wired wrong once and couldn't figure what was happening till my lil sis done what your mate done.... "ohh it warm here" i just cracked up on the spot!!!!

be sure to have the wires wired in correctly and flip the fan blades like we were saying before....

Shane,
I wasn't really going to swap parts with you, I just wanted to distract you for long enough to steal your new Turbo - Ha ha ha ha ha

Just kidding.

I was so happy for you when you told me this last night, I was pulling my hair out thinking what it could be..

I called the dude at Davies Craig that I was dealing with when setting up my system and we went through all the bits - he asked "wired up correctly ?, blades coirrect orientation ?, radiator cleaned, ? Thermostat working ? controller set right ?, fans actually turning on ? etc etc..

It had him baffled and he started calculating measurements and air flow and speeds etc and after about 10 mins called me back and said ' Stuffed if I know, it defies logic"

how much power are 1j rods good to? or are we about to find out?

[mx83toy]

based on past animal testing most can withstand about 650 odd hp but depends on thier condition like anything (I've heard of originals withstanding alot more after having a few treatments though)... I got my self a new set plus a bunch of other crap too.....since my engine has to come apart

let us know if your racing though..... (i might be racing a little datto we been building up too but its a long shot)

[1JZ.747]

i am racing on friday.


i have made 510 rwhp my car has been making over 440 rwhp for 1 year now, i have over 160 passes on the dyno and 100 passes at the track, my engine has done 184000k;s

510 rwp through an auto equates to ust under 700 at the crank.

i would say im on the limit now.

[SL666]

thats a heap of passes and dyno time, must really be very well tuned.

[1JZ.747]

good tuning and good fuel

[JustCallMeOrlando]

Go the Microleb.

[1JZ.747]

word up homie

[rvrolla]

Well done Shane, wish I could come down Friday to film you, unfortunately I have prior arrangements

Good luck mate, make sure someone films for me!

[1JZ.747]

i am expecting a new MPH pb but dont now how we will go ET wise with the new turbo, time will tell.
