TORSPD: NEVR

Yessssss! New radiator with a E fan is in my future!!

 

I should have done this years ago, instead of being stingy with my other one.

 

That's damn good news!!

 

I have been waiting a few weeks to share. Had to make sure the plan was in full effect.

 

I'll definitely buy. Heat is the enemy and this will help greatly.

 

Especially with sleeves, and this thick ass intercooler being more of a door than a screen.....

 

I could use some sleeves....too bad it's so dang expensive

 

I could use some sleeves too.... for my muscle shirt

 

i have a ron davis in my truck also. i bought one that was thicker and had the outlets same as the factory one. i made my own mounts. i modified to work with the ls swap also. such a amazing radiator.

 

My last one was as well. Except that I purchased one for a Trophy Truck. Which means it was meant for a rigid chassis.

Had I known better, I would have gotten one for a vehicle that flexes, as they construct them differently.

 

true. everyone will thank you once they get that ron davis in there

 

All aluminum ron davis with spal electric fans would be noice!

 

100* ambient temps, and running between 168* to 174*. With that dual SPAL setup. Loved it!

 

Corresponding with my friend at Toyota, the radiator and shroud are the same across the year models of 2005-2015.

However, he mentioned that the radiator is not the same from the 2TR models.

 

How is it different?

 

@Torspd is there a difference if we want to run dual fans? Have been considering that setup. I know whipper naysayed it alot, but did we ever conclude whether dual electric fans has more parasitic loss than engine fan? I would think not, but I dont know what kind of load they put on the alternator.

 

Man, that parasitic crap is a bunch of foolishness. That be like saying don't run all of your aftermarket lights and accessories because the drain on the alternator will cause a horse power loss. Really?!?!

No. The fan and clutch are the loss. They create the reciprocating drag resistance.

Just don't have a 17lb batter and dual SPAL fans. They will kill it.

Besides, the electric fans can flow soooooo much more air than the mechanical one. Where cooling is necessary, that is what you want.

And I don't want to hear any debate about electrical fans failing because their is no damn belt. Otherwise OEM's would never use them, nor would race car teams on low to high end cars. Get a damn good fan, and the shit will last. Get a chinese fan, and go F yourself because you enjoy single player more than multiplayer.
