i'm changing my Xr2tt over to T3, i havent got the room for the std xr2 fan no more,

so i was wondering whats needed to keep it cool? ie size or flow of the fan in CFM's?

I use 2 Spal fans, but the Kenlowes are just as good. Does it have an FMIC in the same style as on an RST? By that I mean does the FMIC obstruct the rad?

I would say 2 10" fans anyway.

You sorted a better Rad now Dan ?

More fun sorting your carb now then with the T3

Christian, do your fans bring the temp down fast, or just enough to stop it raiseing?


i have a 4wd cossie inter infront of the rad, so rad cant go in front.

so only have 265mm of space next to the turbo.



Steve, not done anything about rad yet, as only a issue on Trackdays.

Dan - when I had NPE, for a while i used to run with one 10" jobbie on the front - it would stabilise the temps, but won't bring them down very quickly. After i put 2 on the front, the temps would come down straight away... - That was using a Xr2 rad as i'm sure you will be (it was the thicker, earlier type of rad though, noot the newer thinner type with the alloy core...)

Cheers Rich,

i've only go enough room for a 9" fan.

you only need a regular/std size fan for your engine size no matter what horse power you got, as its not creating any more heat at idle than a std engine.
i have a kenlowe due to turbo fitment and found that if the fan is on when your moving i get less cooling than with it off say above 20mph, but under 20mph i need it on, but in slow speed.
i control the fan via the ecu telling it to come on "slow speed >70deg"_ "fast speed >91deg" and off above 20mph. a bit complicated but thats what works for me.

Cheers,


i know that,


But i dont know the flow of the STD xr2 fan i've been using on the car.


so i'm asking what other people have used on there CVH's.

if you got the cash try a tubular holding the turbo over the gearbox with a bigger rad and cooler.

costs a couple of quid but seems to be decent results.

Fiecos Dan

Haven't, nore dont want to spend that sort of money on the xr2tt.
