You also didnt have stage 2

Really loving the idea of a smaller wheel and fat tire.

Colour looks great. I think it would be a lot cleaner with the fender garnish + tow hook circle in the green vinyl. But that's just me!

Plans for a nice cf lip kit to wrap it up?

Toms kit in the plans, near plans

The fans died internally most likely from heat incurred by hotass Miami. No shorts, just dead. FB radiator coming today or tomorrow with shroud and better fans.

The only problem I see with these fans is that they may work in northern climates but when you add 60+ degree ambient temps onto an already hot oven enclosed engine bay, you might have some issues.

FWIW, last known time the fans worked was in 40 degree weather in Orlando. The next day it was 98 degrees in Miami and fans wouldnt come on with direct power.

I know tune has nothing to do with heat issues, I asked because im going to be running the stage 2. I hope these fans run fine in New Jersey. Although we dont get miami weather in the hottest months of summer, we do get some hot humid days.

I hope the fbm radiator, shroud, and spal fans help your issue. Im curious to see how much it will drop your temps.

Depends on your drive i guess. Car rarely sees above 195 degrees at 80+ mph. Sitting at stoplights in 100 degree weather sucking up exhaust fumes from the car in front of you in traffic, well itll get hot quick. I dont even think the fans come on until 196 degrees anyway.

I wont really know how much the new equipment will help as these fans died within a week. Temps would get up to 210-220 in traffic, pretty sure they were working then.

True, and it is hard to tell how much closer the exhaust housing and downpipe is on GTX35. Any pictures looking straight down? I can't wait to see some pics of the shroud and SPAL fans as well.

[Ironsquid]

apparently Ill be the first one to attempt the shroud with stage 2. But I have some tricks. Should be doing the tear down tonight.

[Tansey86]

Videos? I wanna hear the Milltek on a turbo car. Awesome build!

[Ironsquid]

Ill video a dyno run soon, honestly though its hard to hear the exhaust over the 747 from the engine bay

[xDBOYx]

Ill be keeping a close. Interested in results of the overheating and numbers

Just saw this thanks.

Was there clearance issues with the gtx35, and downpipe with the fans that came with the kit?

[Ironsquid]

Only issue is the FBM radiator+shroud+SPAL fans and the Stage 2 kit specifically.

The fans that come with the Stage 2 kit that go on the stock radiator have the same 1/2 inch clearance that I still have now.
