Default 16" Zirgo pusher / griffen /160 therm keep me cool ?

well about to order my radiator fan set up .. really wanted to run my stock radiator with fans but the kit will not let me run it .

running a truck manifold t6 BWs475 turbo and pullers are out of the question .

ill be running the norm stand up griffen radiator and looking for a nice single 3000 cfm+ pusher fan .

will the 16" zirgo rated at 3000cfm cool of my set up ? along with the griffen water additive and 160 therm ? no ac and intercooler sits all the way up front

its not a daily driver but would like to drive it often . and this cali wether is in the 100s

ready to order this second so any advise would be greatly apriciated .

if not a similar alternative suggestions please

You should be ok as long as your IC doesn't block the radiator to much. My car is similar to yours but I used a stock radiator with a flex-a-lite blackmagic fan. Cools just fine here in Az.

Being able to drive it and not overheat and being able to beat on it over and over down the highway are two different things. You will probably get away with driving it just fine, beating on it over and over it might warm up. We only use 31x19's on all turbo builds now to ensure even in 100+ degree weather you can do whatever you want to do it and not over heat.

talking about radiator size ? got any links to them ?

most likely it would be driven just slightly around town and be drove hard at night .

trailerd to the track( just in case it breaks )

so hopefully this combo will work ..

anyone with more input ?

I have read at another forum about Zirgo electric fans burning up. Evidently from comments from others this is fairly common. I would recommend you search and see if you can find user comments. The specific forum was the H.A.M.B.
