So i was going thru some parts from my motocross collection and found a small 6 inch radiator fan.. SO Me being a great engineer i decdided to put my logics to the test.

I took the small fan and adapted it to the SMIC. Hooked in a switch in the drivers cockpit to turn on/off on the fly. I have to admit. There is a GIANT difference in temps! I vag log'd the temp's.. its nearly a 25*C drop!!! I am going to build a custom shroud. Maximzing the effiency of the fan.

In the morning im going to do a DIY/Write up about it. If anyone is interested.

 

sounds interesting. I'd love to see the set up and see what parts you used. I'm assuming the wiring was fairly simple?

 

very simple.. all it needs is pwr->switch/ground took me.. 45 min to get everything wired up and mounted

 

You should make it easier on your self and hook up a temperature activated switch so you don't have to do anything.

 

i thought about this.... but i dont want it coming on all the time. I may end up doing that

 

Do both, so you could turn it off it it's bugging you.

 

that little sucker is loud!the fan acutally came off my yamaha r1... great little fan. Poor thing was working overtime in the heat today. car ran like a champ. Vid's and Pics tomorrow.. PROMISE!

 

You could always do an fmic, that works too. Or just run the intake through a seperate pipe instead of though the pancake pipe, you know, the one that's built into the radiator.

 

yea.. i have a FMIC sitting in the garage waiting. Im still debating on rs4 / s4 / otteingetr front bumper so many choices that im unsure of. My k04 is happy as of tonight. Btw did you get that relay out yet? [:'(]

 

No, it's dark and I gave up for the day. I'll let you know when I get it.
