Overheating with TD05 turbochargers

[Tigchamp]

me? 2" 3sx single-pass & a scoote 2 (i.e. the hood j-fast has empirically demonstrated to have the best cooling abilities out of any currently available hoods).

How did the 6 vent Carbon Fibre PRM hood in my signature do?

I've yet to test a PRM. I've tested the OEM Stealth, OEM VR-4, DEFT, 599, Scoote, Evo, and Viper. I would love to see the PRM in action though. Any chance you can buy a smoke bomb, drop it in a tin can and secure it in your engine bay and go for a driveand record the smoke signature? You can always tuft wool it. Rep for that test for sure, no one has ever tested a PRM. You should do it and post the results in the aero thread.

I will have to wait until I get it running properly, for some reason I am not able to get it running on cylinder #4, going through a process of ilimination at the moment.
I will try the tuft test & smoke bomb if I can find somewhere to secure it in the engine bay.
The Seibon 6 vent hood is similar although the top midle vent is the wrong way round.

no way in hades does the prm knockoff with the backward vent cool effectively. that's the most bass-ackwards design ever--after possibly that ebay n/a downpipe.

Here is one more question. For those running an A/C condenser fan on the driver's side, how did you modify it to mount it since the shroud bolt holes are in a different location than the factor radiator fan?

Here's a fan that outflows the flex-a-lite

I may try this. Can our radiators support a 14" fan, or do I need to stay with a 12" fan?

It is turned upside down.

Any opinions at all on the derale fans? I notice they have quite a bit more current draw than the flex-a-lites, although I do not know how much current the stock fans draw.

I used a set of Perma-Cools in pusher form, in the front of the radiator(I had no a/c). Solved all of my heat issues as well as brought my IAT's down significantly. Kit was bought from Summit, and was $189.78. This was in 2006, I do not know how much it is now, nor do I remember the exact part number either(or if it even still exists for that matter). Between the two fans they were moving around 6,000 cfm.

Summit still sells permacool dual fans that flow 5900 cfm, but they definitely aren't cheap. However, it makes me wonder on the actual effeciency of these fans. The cfm rating is more than twice the flex-a-lite low profile fans but the current draw is less than them....unless permacool's motors are that much more effecient than flex-a-lite's motors.
