My Custom Radiator Setup - Pics

[GEN3Typhoon]

I have had a few people ask about my custom radiator and fan set up that I built for my truck.

I had occasion to take it out today while messing with my intercooler pipes so I took a few pics.

All the components you see were bought from summit and I made the harness of course.

nick, no falmes and nice job - but that unshrouded electric fan is a piece of crap.
i had the same one on my v8 s10 for a very very short period of time - it aint gonna do it.
switch to teh largest shrouded unit you can afford.

Well if you saw the pile of receipts in my office... it was not a matter of money..

I just found one that would fit that would pull a lot of air. I have been told that I would need to make a shroud for it by a few others. If I have to.. no big deal.

I have already driven the car around for an entire day, it was only about 65 out, but sitting in traffic the truck never got over 195 and when you are moving it stayed right between 160-165.

So I will let the road test be the judge of what I am going to do with it from here. Also to note the radiator that I am using is much larger than a stock one so that also aids in cooling capacity of the system. Between the two fans I am pulling more than 4000 CFM of air.

So, I don't take it as a falme ( :lol: ) ... I had another smaller fan on there before and it would not cool the truck.. even when moving it was getting hot.

This seems to be doing the trick.. we will see when it gets up to 90 here.

Later.

I was just ribbing you... I have fat fingers.. I have to always go back and retype something.

Thanks for the information on the fan though.

working on the yuk yuk level myself here - no "falmes" taken!
do make yourself a small simple shroud tho outta sheet material - aluminum or kydex plastic.

I have considered that.. I already have the stuff here... I may go ahead and make it right now since the fan is already out of the truck. That way I don't have to take it all out again. It would be a simple operation. I will take a look at that this weekend.
