Default Check out my custom fan setup.

Powerdyne cooling problems say goodbye

I’m running 1 16” fan and 2 8” fans. This will probably work for you ATI guys also. I’ve attached some pictures let me know what you think.

Lookin Good J. All that fits in there huh? I am still running the dual 12 inch FAL with built in shroud that I had bought for the PD kit. They are still mounted on the wrong side, but after I removed the A/C condensor, the car stays stays at or below 190 all the time even in traffic. Glad to see you are still messing with the PD. Any new track times?

Thanks
I tried using the spal's as puller but it wasn't enough. No new track times. Probably later this year. But I got the belt slip issue taken care of since the last time I went to the track. I get 8psi everytime. Also, the internal belt seem to be holding in there.

Yes, I did move the radiator forward.
The highest my temp has gone up with the A/C sitting in traffic is 200. I would say the temp had to be 98 degrees. The fans turn on high right at 185 degrees and I am running a 160 thermo.

At what weather temperatures were you experiencing cooling problems?

Where did you get those fans from? Do they sound VERY LOUD?
And how much were they for?
