First top mount single turbo 370Z

bank1 MAF is also how the ECU gets its IAT using the built in sensor in the maf, bank2 is ignored.

AWESOME BUILD! Just thinking outside the square, have you considered changing top manifold to a Stillen type, (custom manifold) with dual throttle bodies on one side of the motor?

Ryan is on his way to NC!

Got the car back in this morning, luckly found two Flex-a-lite fans local and went to town today! Replaced the OEM fans with a 16" 2300cfm and a 10" 1800cfm. The smaller fan I centered over the turbo, wiring it to be on at all times when the ignition is on. This should help the start of the problem, the heat from the turbo radiating forward and heat soaking the radiator. The 16" fan fits to the left, the hotside of the radiator, and is wired so the ECU/thermostat will trigger the fan to low with the A/C on, or high if the coolant temps start to rise. I also wired the larger fan to a switch inside the car so Ryan can turn it on himself, to the higher speed, if he feels necessary. I put the car through some good tests this afternoon with the new setup and while it was most definitely hot, it never went outside of "driveable" conditions (coolant temp 2 dots to the right of center, oil temp 230*). These temps were reached with the car parked against a wall, zero airflow through the front of the car, fans running per the car (not manually switched on), after 40min of the car being to temp. I think that's acceptable to tell Ryan, get this bitch on the road to NC for the weekend! I wish all you guys going to Zdays a safe trip and look forward to some comments from those that get to check out the car this weekend! Ryan's build has definitely been a learning experience for me and I think we finally have a handle on the heat of a top mount single!!

The new fan setup

Enjoy!

excellent work as usual shawn, good to see you were able to solve the problems quickly and get him ready for zdayz.

Damn dude! You are GOOD!!

tranceformer · 05-19-2011, 08:50 PM

great work shawn! i bet ryan is happy now!

jran76 · 05-19-2011, 10:58 PM

Man, you work fast! Looks good. That fan is massive. Looking forward to the results....

jran76 · 05-19-2011, 11:06 PM

Just thinking about airflow at the front of the car.... Have you thought about additional holes in the bumper (above the crash beam) to get some airflow above the IC, or a different bumper altogether if the fans don't fully resolve the issue? The IC is massive and blocking valuable air, and I am wondering if there is some way to get more air in (to the radiator/engine bay). These cars run so hot anyway, they need all the air they can get. Hopefully the fans do the the trick, but just thinking about this.....

seems like you have the temps managable at low loads, what about pushing the car hard?

A text from Ryan earlier when I asked him what they were doing

"Out doing the poker run with the GoPro"

I think your wishes will be granted
