Full Version: Clutch Or Thermo Fan?
stock clutch fan or if your keen on something slightly upgraded track down rb25 clutch fan (slightly more aggressive fan fins/blades)
thermo's are quite ordinary unless you put quite alot of effort into a custom surround or find oem type thermo's such as AU falcon that have a surround that is easily modified to fit

thermo will let more of the power from the motor make it to the wheels, alot of ppl just use the stock air con fan

whole clutch setup...the fan bolt holes are different from memory...saves some stuffing around anyways...
should also bolt in using the stock radiator surround...so no need to trim any of it
where would be the best place to pick one up?

yeh, go see ben and see wat he can suggest or get for you.
the HP loss from the clutch fan is prob similar to the HP lossed rom the altenator when the fan has kicked in.
also cheap/pov fans dont flow much, a shroud isnt difficult to make.
best thing to do if you do go that way is to set-up a automatic on/off. i had one on a switch in my corolla and it was a bit of a pain at times. i would forget to turn it on in traffic etc lol! never needed it at 60kays+ tho.

Keep the stock clutch fan & shroud Calvin. Any power gains by using thermos are sfa, especially with the low level of modifications the car will have when it runs.
If you need any further bits (besides the bits I have here for you anyway
), just drop in or call me on 62741506.
