Hey Banshee,

First off is the Viscous fan giving issues? Are you hoping to make more kW on the wheels going electric?

I've seen that a viscous aka mechanical fan can suck up atleast 10kW. Electronic fans don't put this kind of load on the vehicle, be surprised if they take even 70watts off of the alternator when running (not a fact, heresay).

I am running an electric fan from a opel astra on my FE DOHC and it moves enough CFM to keep things cool.

My biggest worry with electric vs. mechanical is if the electric loses its power for some reason. You can't just drive slow to get home, even at idle you'll eventually reach a very high temperature.

My work around for this would be a sensor on the fan, should voltage drop below operating specs a buzzer or similar light would warn the driver.

Kind of a check engine light but for a fan Cos you not gonna hear the fan stop above your revs most of the time.

Which volvo is this off of? Most of the old models had viscous fans anyway (240 / 240 T and 740) so they would, themselves require electric as aftermarket improvement.

What figures you hitting on the wheels for that motor? What rim size you running, this will affect reading drastically! I lost around 4kW according to two dyno's when I changed from 15" to 17"

IM going to have to change my picture as my siver celica went to a new home to night now im carlos , well almost the wife got her classic . now the pressure is on work work and more work .

SOLD SOLD SOLD 

OK so i was approached by the owner the silver celica and asked if i wanted it back so i bought it back ,its going to tack a little work to get it back to the way it was plus i think i will be doing an engine change . looking for ideas .

Yep but its going to be a street car still thinking about motors maybe nissan 4cyl with a small turbo 

Bang for buck the 4agze and sr 20 are a little out of my price range so i think i should just go 13b turbo and run a t76 turbo just to keep things simple

OK motor is in bought the ecu this morning go tech proX MOTOR CA18 RWD WITH BOX  now i must find the time to Finnish it as i have not been in Job for the last 2 months  so time is short and family has fit in some where even if it is under the car .

no still under the car cover will try remove the stuff off the roof when i get a chance for the being it will just be a normal streetcar i hope i dont think u can really boost those motors that hard . maybe ill buy a new turbo for my mazda and drop the t66 on ca engine and see if it can hold the weight 

Banshee - Congratulations on your 12.477s @182kph with your other Celica. Between your wife and yourself you've improved times drastically since purchasing the vehicle. Keep it up!

It's alright, stock oem turbo? or changed it.

In terms of the Celica, you have a lot to do with the maintenance and setup - don't discount your efforts ;-) A good driver needs a good pit team.

looking good man! post up when your next run is wanna come see her in action!

The blue celica will be running at tarlton this weekend for the jamboree . hopefully i can get my escort with the Mazda motor sorted before then to , picked up a problem with her leaning out at 1.2bar 285 rkw  436NM so we have changed something and Will run it again some time this week hopefully hope to see u guys there .
