I’ve found a perfect sized fam to fit onto the intercooler.
The fan is a high performance fan. 10” 120w, pushing the air quite nicely.
Performance is noticeable at low speeds. Especially when you sit at the lights for a bit. Feel more get up and go. I don’t believe it’s my imagination.
The fan I used is this from eBay https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/272710468021
Universal 10" Inch 120W Electric Radiator Racing Cooling Thermo Fan + Mounting
Take note. There are 2 flat sides on the thermo fan. This is very important.
Instead of using the little bit of sticky foam they supplied in the mounting kit. I decided to cut up an old bike tyre tube. I folded that up under the mounting legs. And also run a bit between the flat side of the fan and the intercooler. I’ve also had to cut the engine cover to fit
The side to this was it’s raised the fan up a little. So air was escaping. I simply squeezed a small bead of silicon for that.
Second was 1 bolt on top of the fan just touches the bonnet frame work. So a quick small touch of the angle grinder fixed that.
The fan is controlled from a switch inside the car. Only time I plan on turning it off is for water crossings and when on trips and there’s lots of dust produced by the convoy
Reversing the polarity of the motor, then closing the bonnet. You can feel the amble amount of air being pushed
