Best way to keep the motor cool ?? Wiring thermo fans ??

Post by mteck »

Im going to wire up the thermo fans this weekend to a switch in the cabin

As the car is used for drift it gets hot as theres not much air flow vs engine load.

So i would like to wire up both fans to run flat out on a switch, or any other advice to keep the car cool would be welcome too.

Thanks, Ramon

From what I have been told Spal are the best fans as well as the stock fans off a Falcon but not sure which one :(

Have you got an intercooler and is it standard radiator?

Intercooler and stock radiator.

I was going to run a switch in the car to a relay, and relay power than spliced into both power wires of both fans.

What radiators options are out there for us ?
