ill be running 30psi in the bird. do you want to do remote mount or standard manifold mount?



ya, sometimes im spelling challenged

 

Mani mount... for sure..

Remote mount and me, don't get along.

 

ok, so you could flip the manifolds so they are facing forward, make a tube that goes from the drivers side one to the passenger side one, then put a t3 flange on there where they meet. mount the turbo to it. make some oil lines for it. one pressure one that comes from the block (probably could put in a t fitting where the oil pressure sensor is) then drill a hole in the oil pan for the return line. make a downpipe and hook it to the exaust, then mount an intercooler and make all the lines, then with bigger injectors and a custom tune it should run. you could also use an adjustable fuel pressure regulator, bigger fuel pump, blow off valve helps it from stalling the compressor when you let off to shift, and I would recomend using header wrap or ceramic coat the manifolds, and downpipe and maybe get a wrap for the turbo to cut underhood temp

 

Got any more pics of how you mounted the fan to the Rad?

 

Uhmm, all I did was go to Napa... buy radiator ties... drilled 4 little holes in the fan shroud.... poked the radiator ties through the radiators and attached the end caps on the other side...

Doesn't move at all...

I'll get pics up tomorrow.. or something...

I'm behind on my write-up as well..

Sorry.

 

If you all have or can borrow the meters
it would be good to post some amp draws
on these junkyard fans
on high and low settings.

In past posts
Audi electric fans have also been mentioned
as good fits to the Dodge radiator sizes on Rams and Dakotas.

For measuring cfm
a $64 new wind meter like this:



or an used $50 ebay underground mine anenometer like this:



can be moved across the radiator face
and an average air speed found,
then converted to feet per minute
then mulitiplied by the square feet of the grille opening.

All those CFM ratings you read in the electric fan advertisements
are for the electric fan out in free air by itself
and are way off for a real fan's airflow
pulling through a radiator and grille's resistance.

 

I looked into an electric fan from a well known junk yard in Spokane and they wanted 93.00 for it... used... 1993...

I don't think so. I think I'll look around for one first. I was thinking though, any fan would just about fit our trucks if it's in the high 3.8+L to 5.0+L. I'm going to start checking around, then if I don't find one that fits, I guess I'll make some money off of ebay.....

 

I'll have to look at it after I'm off work. I can't look at Ebay. It won't allow me to.
