Also, I ran over 4 children, a litter of kittens, two puppies and a disabled person in a wheelchair making this video...all on this extremely populated main road in the middle of NYC.

Friend of mine came over to shoot a new video for my leather company, so we capped the day off with some smoke :)

For now...they got the job done. I am out of town and needed the fan installed badly.

Picked up a set of these, if you're mounting a fan, this IS the fastest/shittiest way to mount it.

ftfy.


I highly recommend you make a real fan mount instead of hanging the fan off the radiator tubes, something they are not designed to do.

I had to trim the heads a bit to fit in the angle of the fan body.


Nice stick pads to protect the fins, for 6.00 the kit did the trick. **when using these zip tie-like rods, make sure to give yourself a few notches after the clip.**

A pusher and puller together will just double the restriction above 40mph, raising temps. Below 40, they will just move the same amount of air. A 3000 CFM fan in front of a 3000 CFM fan will move 3000 CFM or air. Or maybe less, depending on what happens to the airflow between them. I'd assume it would get pretty turbulent...

I tested it all out with the new fan installed...there is NO need for a second! damn this thing is so much better than my low profile Spal.

Heading to Saratoga next weekend?

Details? I am free next weekend ;D

Detailed the bay and blacked out a few things, currently reworking the cooling system and getting ready to install the MLS gasket and ARP studs(including helicoil some stripped exhaust manifold studs).
Using a 16" Spal pusher fan 30102048 and using a puller 16" fan in the engine bay, also a Spal. I am unsre of the 16" fitting in the bay off to the left(drivers side) I am going to see if I can make it work since I own it already.

Some shots tonight from a nice drive.

New fender is installed from DJ ButtChug, shot it with some clear coat and left the rust patina like it came to me.

Random shots from my outing tonight.

Polly getting painted?

I have a few things in mind, not sure what one yet(playing in photoshop). No shiny paint, I hate chrome and new paint.

Boring update:
After rushing to refresh the M30 for Gfest '13 I neglected things to just get to the event, this year has just been going over everything and redoing last minute rushed work. Bought a rebuilt Bosch 140amp alternator and got a new Bosch 02 sensor to resolve the rich running issue. Had to add about 10" to make it from the header bung to the drivers side harness plug. Soldered the splices and heat shrinked the connections, then added a ribbed plastic tubing to keep the bare wires safe from vibrations.

Cured the rich burn ratio from the lack of an O2 and got to route a bunch of wiring from the last minute install of my M30 for last year, long term I want to pull the M30 out and install a b25 harness I have laying around.

Right now I am focusing on Gfest '14 and cleaning up everything for the trip:
-Heilcoil two exhaust studs that the owner before me fucked up.
-Add resonator after the Vband

After the event I will be tackling body work and
