Just got my GRS for the S2

Now i'm wondering where is best for the fan?

Should i stick it on the front of the IC, or directly on the radiator (Between the IC and the rad).

What works best?

Cheers

 

what fan have you got? i would put it onto the rad personally and wire up a override switch

 

Its a narrow Kenlowe one (10" i think)

Cheers

 

usin just one fan mate u will def ave to put it on the rad or u will get overheatin problems. ive only got one fan and thats where mine is but im guna buy another fan b4 the summer.

 

did you buy it new or 2nd hand? usually when you order a new one Graham ask's where you want to fit the fan because the mounting brackets are in different places for how you want the fan!
personally i would put it inbetween the i/c and rad(mounted on the rad) and also go for 2 fans now before fitting cos you'll only have to fit another one when it gets too hot in the summer.

 

Cheers lads

It is new and Graham did ask, i said between.

And that was my next question, is it worth putting an extra fan in?

I think i just might

 

put 2 fans in now while you've got it in bits, with 1 on a switch inside the car! also fit a saph cos fan sender and an 82 dgree thermostat and you shouldnt have any overheating probs in the summer

 

2 fans all the way mate as above saph cos fan sender and 82 stat with and override switch and you should have no probs even in traffic on the hottest of summer days

 

Best blace to buy another Kenlowe fan anyone?

Can you buy direct from them?

 

tes you can buy them direct...

 

GRS or Burton Power

 

Cheers lads

 

I just have one 10 inch fan fixed to the intercooler, but the intercooler is hard up against the radiator, I have not had any over heating issues.

One question - You spend a lot of money in buying a large intercooler just to block off most of its cooling capacity with 2 fans?

S.[/quote]never thought of it like that b4,my rad is like yours right up to the cooler but ive got 2 fans on it ,i mite take 1 off an see if 1 can cope on its own an if it does then ita a little less weight to

 

fans are mounted on the radiator,not blocking the intercooler.

 

unless it is a series 1 then you dont have a lot of choice other than to mount them on the intercooler

 

fans can be either mounted on the radiator or on the intercooler on a s2, not sure about the s1 though

 

which is why i said unless it is a s1

the s1 grs intercoolers are massive compared to the s2 ones and you cant sit them forward like on the s2 you just cut the bumper out on a s1 you have a grille in the way

 

Mmmmm i could just try it with one fan, an overide switch, cossie fan switch and different thermostat...

After all i already have an alloy rad, and the car aint used for sitting in town. Just rides out and the occasional track day



Its an S2 BTW.
