55129, keeping my engine happy mods!!!!
Posted by jsupetran, Aug-29-03 02:12 PM
i some money so i was thinking, with the turbo adding more stress to the engine i should do some mods to it (my smic is in the garage and piping on the way from ner-nathan).

i am thinking oil cooler (i am already on mobil 1 full syntec) but might as well buy a cooler with a thermostat.
i want this one:

better aftermarket fans (how much). some of the fans are really expensive but there are some that are 100. whats the difference besides the brand name.

do you think aftermarket fans are overkill at stage one (since i am planning to stay at 5psi for a two years. i am not having engine heating problems (knock on wood) but my engine does feel hotter.

what other keep the engine happy mods are there?

Fans are good idea, esp. the slim line ones. I noticed my engine temp stays about the same since I put my turbo on, but the engine bay itself is a lot hotter. You may also want to consider running hard 12V line from your battery to your fan and mount a toggle swtich inside the car that controls you fan. That way you choose when to run it, just don't leave it running after you get out ....
