Because the stock setup always seem to break at the worst possible time. JTurbo and Mutant's cars were both overheating in PA when we hit bad traffic. Roger resorted to blasting the heat to stay cool.Dunno why - the 2.3T runs sooo freaking cool in the first place86 SVO 1E, not stock. MM&FF May 2010

Were they really running hot? Or was this via the factory gauge?Originally posted by TheViking View PostBecause the stock setup always seem to break at the worst possible time.

The fan has never been the issue. Maybe the fan RELAY ... but not the ability of the stock fan to properly cool the contents of the radiator.Originally posted by TheViking View PostBecause the stock setup always seem to break at the worst possible time.

Well actually, we were stuck in traffic for over an hour. Ambient temp was running in the mid 90's according the the Tahoe. My SVO (Roger was driving) has an emergency fan controller bypass so the fan can be turned on at will. And it was still running very hot in traffic.
Mutant's fan controller didn't work. So he resorted to cycling the engine (on/off) to keep the temps under control. We all made it home, no damage done.....86 SVO 1C

TC Fan
Originally posted by indiana dave View PostAll those fans, and there were still a couple cars showing up at the home Depot overheating... I've got the turbocoupe dual fan on mine... Has a great tool bench built into it!
Indiana Dave,
I've got a TC dual fan as well, but just haven't hooked it up. Sitting in my garage.
Did you hook it up to the stock fan controller with a relay or have an aftermarket fan controller. I also have a Flexalite adjustable fan controller, so I can use with the dual fans so I don't fry my stock controller. How did you wire yours up?
Did you also upgrade the charging system? I was just wondering if the tc fans draw more amps.
I also have a 3 row, wider than stock radiator...how does the tc fan fit...any modifcations to make it fit?
ThanksBlake B.
