#106798, "RE: Turbo melted fan wiring? Wow.."
In response to In response to 3


          

The FAL setup is pretty pricey anywhere I look, and the 220 has been discontinued and replaced with the 420 (how appropriate) with the S-blade fan design. However, it seems the issue is not so much with the fan iself but the heat in the general area coming from the turbo. I've been pics of the 420/220 setup and the wires run right by the turbo. I don't want to melt these as well and be screwed out of a $300+ fan setup.

I'm thinking about taking the motor out of the 12" passenger side fan, pulling it apart, running some heavier gauge (10ga) wire to the motor contacts, and rewiring it this way. I have heat wrap left over so I could wrap the wires with some of that and put the turbo blanket on my turbo. That should do the trick, eh? Any thoughts on this?

I'm mostly concerned about the ignition fuse blowing.. I'm kinda assuming the rad fan circuit ties into the ignition circuit, so that blew first then the rad fan fuse. I've also heard that these slimlines can pull as much as 20A each, so I should be using at least a 40A fuse instead of the stock 30A fuse theoretically but I've never heard of anyone else with this same situation with two slimlines.. in fact, I've heard of people running 3-4 slimlines (pusher & puller) on this circuit with no issues.
