Cooling Fan

[burfitt101]

does anyone know if having an additional cooling fan on top of the intercooler is worth having?

thanks

Definately. It reduces heat soak from the engine when driving in traffic and when stationary. Which helps to keep the intake temp down. This in turn will stop the engine feeling sluggish.

It wont make hardly any difference at normal road speeds though.

Yep. I got a Spal Fan from Fereday cars i think it was. ClickyYou need a thin one or the bonnet will foul it. Measure the mesh across the top of the intercooler cover from front to back.. Think it`s about 9 or 10 inches. This will be the diameter of the fan you need.. It was about £50 give or take.

I cant be more exact on the measurements because i`ve moved the fan to the front of the radiator now and got rid of the heavy old toyota one. Also no longer got a top mount so if you ever decided to go for a front mounted I/C you know what to do with the fan.
