is it just the fan you are after, or the motor and all?

if it is just the fan, it is only 4 bolts. and i'm pretty sure the rb20 and 25 use the same fan, but not 100%sure on that.

Just the fan, reason being, saw an rb20 one on ebay, wanted to see if it was an option.

I cracked mine in my r33 and the replacement part was $250 as you couldn't buy just the fan, you had to buy the motor aswell... so as it wasn't going anywhere, I left it.

But having said that, I sold the one off my SR20 for $30, so no doubt you'll be able to pick one up on the forums second hand.

It's also just a case of taking out the radiator and undoing the 4 bolts on the fan and it just slides off.

Cheers

motor?

do u mean the fan clutch?

or the fan blades?

blades are interchangeable, and some say the rb25 one is better.

the cutches are swappable too. I bought a craig davies new one from sprints for $130, put my fan on it and bolted it in,

pretty sure the fan on my rb25 is a rb20 one.

It will fit, but the rb25 has more blades, and seems flows a lot more air (I tested this once when I had my rb20 - you can tell by putting your hand in front of both to compare).. so a fair bit better.

I reckon you'd be better off with a 3rd party one if it does the trick.

sorry to bring up a old thread but

i've found my clutch fan seems to be on the way out? its making a slight screeching sound.. would replacing the clutch fan with another one solve this issue?

does anyone have a guide as to how to replace the clutch fan?

With the engine running drip some water onto the belts. If the noise goes away its the belts. Without the clutch locked up try spining the fan to see if it makes any noise. Clutch will lock up when its hot enough. More than likely a squeaking belt.

i read somewhere on these forums recently how to test if your clutch is buggered but cant find it now..

if you spin the fan by hand when the car is cold it should normally only spin freely for a half turn or something to that effect...

can anyone confirm or correct me please?

cheers

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.

      So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
