limp1969 Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 What radiator and fan is the best for my car? Looking for a better set up than what I have now . Its a big radiator but will still like to go with something better quality. Also it has a cheap electric flex fan on it. It covers about 60 % of the radiator. Does this matter? The fan only works to cool at low speeds? I had problems with the car running hot in 95 degree heat. It had coolant in it so I replaced it and flushed it with distilled water and a bottle of water wetter. It did run 15 degrees cooler after, but would still like to upgrade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor57 Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I have a fluidyne, and stock fan. The fan probably does more harm than good after 30mph or so. My cooling system is about the only thing I haven't had a problem with on my car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driver Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I gave up on off-the-shelf parts. I hit ebay with the dimensions of the space the radiator was meant to fit, and picked up a fukal'big fluidyne NASCAR radiator. For cooling, I went to the junk yard and found a fan from a 4.6 liter thunderbird and just wired it for high. sitting still, the fan drops it from 200 to 180 in about a minute on a hot day. While driving, I have yet to see it go above 170. I smashed this ant with the biggest hammer I could find, never have to worry about it again.
