Actualy got around to fitting the kenlow fan today, starnge as I set out to fit the water injection. I decided to fit the WI nozel in the intake pipe after the IC, because of this the rad and intercooler had to come out . me having a brain wave thought that while the rad was out it'd be easier to fit the leccy fan so I did.
The result, well the engine bay looks better now as I'd just slung the rad and intercooler on in an hour before billing last year and it was on the slosh. I'd totaly fluked the setting on the fan to be spot on. it now drives the smoothist it's done for ages. The judder which I thought was caused by the throttle position sensor not being set ok has totaly gone. And the steam that was pooring of the rad in the begining turned out to be the water I'd spilt on it and not another leak I'd caused. re tryinging to stuff an engine in a day before billing led to me having to fix the radiator with JB weld last year:rolleyes:
And on top of that thanks to paul's tapping skill's (a job far to delicete for ole club hands here:o ) the wi jet is installed. All I have to do now is fit the wi pump and other bits, try and find some kind of resevour for the methol/water mix and were away:D just have to fit that s14 diff thats been sitting in my garage for a year:rolleyes: thats if I can get past all pauls flipping engines he's stocked up in there, Im sure there bleeding breeding.
On top of that we got a shiney new eprom writer and an emulator so we can set the thing up on the rollers if we can sweat talk mark at mgm motor sport that is, The car killed his snapon timing light last time when it got caught in the fan :rolleyes: no chance of that now though. wehay I guess you can tell how happy I am;) It was good taking the car for a thrash earlier on and feeling how good it felt and shooting flames all over and and and I'll just shut up now.

Good work Nath, me needs an elecy fan, I so desperately need those 5bhp it'll free up. :D:D

I nearly finished swapping my induction manifold today with the 560's on, HKS cam also went in along with a new timing belt.
Fuicked off and achy now though & STILL not finished. :(

It'd better fooking well work after all this!!!

I know what you mean about achy, plus the inevitable cuts and grazes :rolleyes: at least I managed to slash a clean knukle this time. bit of tissue and some elactrical tape stopped me getting blood on the car:D as for the fan do it mate, sod all difference in the power feel but oh so smooth!!! it's like an N/A til hell lets loose at 3 grand. deffo feels more revy. as I said just got to get the wi sorted and and the chip mapped on the rollers (hopefully with a z32 afm) currently detting at 16psi so running 14.5 and **** does she fly. trying to get her to run 18psi in the long term but this is the fastest she's ever gone so far and the last rr was nats cock off 300 14 months ago so I'll be intrested to see what she's doing know. The wi and a good map should prevent any detting, (methonal is damn cold when you spill it on yourself). 330 is my aim as I dont mind being .2 of a second off the 400 boy's over the quarter ;):D and at least mine will last more than a month without blowing up ;):p

Excellent Nath. :)
An elecy fan will prolly be my next aquirement then.
Did you get one of the kits that come with the stat etc?
What size/model fan did you get?

I did wonder what was going on with your motor since the 292@wheels RR, I remember saying to Docwra jst after yu did it that my aim was to match that by the end of next year (IE last year). I'm so nearly there now, Z32 AFM & 560's are being mapped next weekend, well cuffity chuffed, just seems to take so long to achieve anything though.
