Hi guys

Need some advice I have recently brought a low boost kit, got everything apart from the slimline fans.

What would you suggest I need twin 10s? Push or pull? Are they easy to install.

Ive seen prices ranging from 39 for a pair all the way up to 170.Is they some brands I should steer clear of?

Thanks sam

Im sure i commented on this yesterday?

I'm going for 2x12".
This is because a single 12" fan flows as nearly as much as two 10" fans.
I will be going for pull. Theres a lot more room when the inlet is fitted and oull fans are a more efficient type.
Revotec or CBS ones are supposedly good.
Spal are too costly imo.
I'm also going for a revotec fan controller as I trust the standard system not a lot.
Its like doing a hooker with no condom imo.

i have 2x spal 10" on mine on the front of the rad same as standard and imo their not good enough on a hot day. 90% of the time they are fine. Soon as i press the AC button they cool it back down ok but on a hot day in traffic they cant bring the temp down only maintain it where ever it got to when they cut in.

Do you run a oil cooler I'm running 16 cooler which should be more that adequate.

I have 2 x 10" Spal fans on mine and don't have any issues with coolant temp at all. I think they are very adequate for the job. Yes

Quite true, and when the car comes off the road again at the end of September, then it won't have any issues for the foreseeable. LOL

LOL

pretty spot on with that
revotec fan controllers are decent, my wiring had been changed by others and when it broke i struggled to trace issue

but some people argue "get standard setup working"

They do yes.
But frankly,
To do so properly and giving you any real faith in it, involves getting a known working bitrion unit (20 quid say)
Then cleaning the contacts for the relays
And possibly replacing them too.
If you have to do so, they are around 20 each
There are three of them.

A Revotec is 49 quid, you can set whatever temperature you want, its new, theres a lovely slot of it in a nissens rad already.

You can run nice new cabling to the fans with proper connections and bits off the shelf.
Plus, if you are going low boost, you are replacing the fans anyway, and fiddling with the wiring, So why not?

So basically my jist is, stuff the standard system.
I cant be arsed.

Ordered new relays for a early 406 2.016v (xu10j4r) and they were a fiver each from pug. Also they are only either 25A or 35A 5 pin relays which are widely available anyway. As it happens my diesels fans don't work at all Sad. It rarely gets over 80-90 degrees anyway even in the height of summer, but checked all fuses and relays etc the other day so suspect poor contact on the side of the fan unit or failed bitron. Went to bridge the AC pressure sensor terminals to run them on full on the AC buton and nothing happens.

Sam I haven't been running an oil cooler it's ok for road use but even on a coldish day if you boot it for any length of time the oil temp creeps up fairly easily. I'll be fiting a 13row oil cooler kit behind the o/s fog light this weekend at work with a thermostatic plate. Want it on there before pugfest so can give it plenty of s**t Big grin

Do you mean if it hasn't been broken?

If so, then no you do not need to prime it. Smile

If it hasn't been broken at all then no Should be fine, however the fluid should be replaced very 2 years or 20k iirc so might need changing anyway? £110 a litre now I think so don't spill it its like unicorn jizz! Lol

I have the same with mine the lines are stupidly long and I only need it to reach the fog light area on drivers side so gonna have to hide some of it somewhere until I sorce shorter lines.

another james comment coming here

you could........try water cooling on it. are we talking about intercooler cooling here?

ice box, water pump, mister head.

ive never done it before but my friend had a mk4 golf gti turbo. he re-routed his rear wiper sprayer to his intercooler. and before he went out "driving" hed fill up his washer jet tank with a jug of antifreeze water out the freezer. he wired his rear wiper sprayer to a dash mounted switch.

this was also the same mate that fitted a mini nos (minibike kit) system to his first polo

one shot booster systems. both gave a noticable result for the five seconds the noz canister lasted or the 3 minutes his washer bottle lasted.
