yetchh Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Yeah 5.5Km per litre ain't great. Although NZ isn't exactly flat like Australia. LOL Â Â Â It's not so bad, I get/got about 2.5-3 on straight flat roads.. ford tho.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighLUX Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 How thick is the fan setup KK? Looks like a good option for the ute if a volvo turns up at TGA sometime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 The fan itself is bolted via 4 bolts around the perimeter to the shroud and I would say 60-70mm thick - I can measure it better tomorrow - but very thin anyway. If you mean including the shroud then around 120mm. Â Without the shroud it is as thin if not thinner than the Craig Davies ones I have paid a couple hundy for previously - but the amount of air it moves (watch the video in my build thread) is fucking HEAPS!!!

Spencer Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Yea these fans smash those aftermarket ones. Use it with the shroud if you can though! A fan with no shroud is almost as gay as one on a toggle switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighLUX Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Chur chur, already watched the vid and was impressed. Sounds like the fan without shroud will fit perfectly and I like the idea of the 2 speed setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 Hey Clint - where does one get legal turnbuckles from to make adjustable trailing arms. Do I need to get these X-rayed so is it cheaper for me to buy new pre-made ones from Nolathane/Whiteline/K-Mac? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yetchh Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Just for reference, these au(also el/ef etc) twin thermos move 1900cfm each fan and can be had for f all, what did you pay for your Volvo's? Â Â Â Â Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 How thick is the fan setup KK? Looks like a good option for the ute if a volvo turns up at TGA sometime Measured them properly today. Total thickness including shroud = 140-150mm Thickness of fan from mounting flange to back of fan moor = 70-80mm Thickness of fan from front of fanblades to back of fan motor - 100-110mm  Just for reference, these au(also el/ef etc) twin thermos move 1900cfm each fan and can be had for f all, what did you pay for your Volvo's?       I paid $25 for it including relays, fusable links, wiring, plugs and shroud. All I need to do is mount it - then hook up the positive and negative feeds to the battery. Plus the low and high (or just the high to start with) speed signal wires which is only an earth signal to a thermo switch or toggle if I can't find an appropriate thermo switch in time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Yea they are a slightly more elegant solution than the AU fans plus the two stage fan is sweet, nothing wrong with the AU set-up though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
