m35stagea Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Sfa room in this engine bay. Just curious if anyone has swapped over to thermo fans and or electric water pump? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/424620-anyone-using-thermos/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
PN-Mad Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Yes to thermos, no to pump. Series 2 cars come std with electric thermos. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/424620-anyone-using-thermos/#findComment-6838256 Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty nm35 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 You sort of need the timing chain... Why would you need to rip the pump out? The stock fan provides way more flow than any thermo setup...

Timing chain?? Huh??? Re clutch fan, Its noisy, Takes up room for other shit I.e catch can could sit nicely in front of motor.

scotty nm35 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 There is plenty of room under the airbox for a catch can. The stock fan is noisy because it is moving a lot of air. Have you seen the blades? A decent thermo will make more noise again and use more energy to flow less air. The series 2 M35 uses two large thermo's but it doesn't run as hot either. The water pump runs off the main cam chain, and provides an idler function. You can't remove it or your engine won't run.

Equilibrise Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I have twin davies craig thermos with a custom shroud. If you decide to go down this path, then a shroud is a must. I also have a large alluminium radiator and with all of this replacing the standard set up there is very little gain in space in the engine bay...if that is your main reason for doing it.

DELLER Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I'm using twin thermo's in my C34 S2, only because i'm using a 2 core aluminum radiator. Also using a custom alloy shroud too. To turn the the fans on i'm using a fan controller. They make more noise than the standard fan.

scotty nm35 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Prove me wrong buddy. Due to it's size the stock fan flows massive amounts of air and is very efficient as there are no electrical losses.

scotty nm35 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 You guys are just jelly. I guess you need to remove the fan load off the top end to help make that extra 100 watts. Sad really. I can sell you a real fan if you like... Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/424620-anyone-using-thermos/#findComment-6841952 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PN-Mad Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 What, like the GKTech one that is a replacement for your POS fan? Sorry mate, but Twin variable speed thermos will shit all over your dodgy clutch fan any day.

scotty nm35 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Shit all over it how? There is no way they would outflow the clutch fan.

PN-Mad Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 It shouldn't produce any more @ 8000 than at say 2500. That mean it brokkeen. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/424620-anyone-using-thermos/#findComment-6842000 Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty nm35 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 It certainly does mate, depending on the heat coming through the radiator. Making assumptions again?

PN-Mad Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Oh I forgot you car has chronic overheating problems at anything other than street driving. Probably why the clutch fan is stuck on all the time. Maybe some well designed twin thermos, say off a pnm35 might be able to sort that.

scotty nm35 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Try running that power and see what temps your engine gets to. (Oh, that's right. Glass bottom end, sorry) If I was to run twin thermo's, the V35 setup you have would be the obvious option, but I have no need atm. I prefer to see results from my modification, not go backwards.
