Lee P Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 also mate i would get a fan on your coolers . Won't need cooling fan on the gearbox coolers because of the mounting position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra matt Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Won't need cooling fan on the gearbox coolers because of the mounting position. you sure about that mate ! i have two coolers on mine mate and one of them is in the left hand side of my do-luck has a fan on it and mine still run's hot every now and again and i only have a 3200 stall the 3800 will generate alot more heat when ragging it . Are you fitting a temp gauge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you fitting a temp gauge? If you mount them to the side of the bumper you will have no cooling effect when the car is stationary which is when you would need a fan. When the car is moving there is enough air passing through to cool it. The reason for not adding a fan in this position is that the viscous fan is pulling a lot of air through it while stationary. No gauge, he has enough to worry about just looking where he is going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure its RyanG dude, 2bartuning. Yep thats the plan - Lee and Ryan work a lot together so its handy!! however.....as Ryan is selfishly buggering off on hols for weeks we're on a bit of a tight timeframe to make it ready in time - to be honest i dont think it will be so we may have to look at Ryans business partner or TDi to map it.

I thought it required a special licens to map the HKS f-con, which I heard Ryan didnt have, but maybe he have now.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesy Posted June 29, 2010 Author Share Posted June 29, 2010 sold my alloys yesterday so the hunt is on for replacements that are a bit wider to help with traction!! Found one lovely set but waiting to hear if it'll go ahead with the seller.....will get some pics of them as soon as i know whats happening! Lee's working on the manifold as it wasn't clocked and the H Cover was touching it - some fabrication needed!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
