Post from Motorheaddown Hey guys, Scott dropped by yesterday, and we went for a spin. Here is what he posted up on CL: "I was in Ryan's neighborhood yesterday and stopped by to catch up and see the status of his build. His attention to detail combined with a lot of patience is beginning to...

John, good question...Depende upon the day...In Florida, at this time of year, it can range tremendously....From 100 degrees to 50 degrees. it has been between 92 and 70 mainly. I have had hot and cooler days with this set up, John...So Far, it has not mattered...Time will tell. Yep, lots...

Success At Last!! No Overheating!! As the caption headlines, it appears that I have resolved the overheating issue. Combining the (2) SPAL 14" fans along with the Custom Shroud from TCP Performance is a winning combination! They have worked like a champ since I have installed the Combo. No...

Kudos to the save David and Brain...Lextreme Number 1! MTFBWL always! Ryan

John, you are welcome. And, I do understand. I still may have to add a secondary radiator to resolve the issue, if it becomes a problem. Experience and the "Acid" test will reveal if it is up to snuff. After all, I believe the Bugatti Veyron employs 16 radiators to cool itself. so, we know...

John, I used these SPAL's fans: 30101509Weight: 3.75 lbs. VA08-AP51/C-23A FAN (14" MP) 14" Straight Blade Medium Profile Fan / 12V Puller From our medium profile fan line this fan is designed to exceed the performance of similar stock OEM fans. For use when improved airflow is needed on...

New custom shroud is back and in my hands I got it in guys. Looks good. Gonna install it this week, and hopefully the overheating will become a distant memory and valuable learning lesson only. Thanks TCP Performance for making these! Here are a couple of pics: Ryan

Thanks for clearing that up Justen...:) I understood what he meant about the vertical flow IC vs the horizontal flow IC. In fact, long ago, in a galaxy far, far away...I had an earlier version of a turbo set up that had a Bell designed and built IC that was vertical flow, for the very reason...

That is a real great deal for that set up. I never have checked into what Quartermaster claims the clutch can handle regarding HP. Does anybody happen to know? Ryan

I meant for the extra hp, not the flow... Justen:rolleyes: Yep, I know what you mean...it is doing great job so far.

To the OP: Very "noice"!! I love the trumpets! 50 WHP gain...Impressive! Regarding the IC, just add water/meth injection...;) Ryan

Cooling, cooling, cooling...Take it serious... Ok, Another update. I definitely decided not to mount the fans direct to the radiator, or even try it that way...I am not willing to go another try at "might it work without the shroud?" I made a couple of mock up cardboard fan shrouds after...

Very nice! I enjoyed those turbo 1UZ's... Ryan

You will love PCS...Tell them I said so... Ryan

Go with the PCS (Powertrain Control Solutions) trans ECU...Easy to work with and tune, great customer support, and phenomenal unit. Ryan

Rod, why not just keep the car for you as is, drive it for fun when you get the itch, store it the rest of the time, and then just buy a clean and inexpensive ride for your son? If he likes the older Soarers, why not buy him a stock, clean one and call it a day? At least you don't get killed...

Thanks Steve...If this does not totally solve the issue, I will add a secondary small radiator in the right front bumper area. Ryan

Update on fans Well, I found I had a mess with the wires connected to the relays for the fans...I do not know how they got connected that way as I do not understand how the fans would have even fired up...Anyway, I pulled up a fan diagrams off the web and figured it all out. The harnesses are...

Sweet set up! Beautiful excecution too! More FI V8 Lexi :)...Nice fab work...Best way to do it if you have the tools and the know how...;) Looking forward to a video. Ryan

John and John, Thanks so much for your very informative comments and suggestions...For now, I am keeping it simple, and letting my Autronic control and run it all. Including the AC. Good news is I have been able to carve out enough time to finally build the harnesses. They are completed...
