So install day tomorrow java?

java09

nah i am going to install next weekend when i have everything. i also think i dont have the stuff to install the slim fans. im pretty sure there is some kind of clips that you need and i dont think i have them!

aen

hmmm, slim fans huh.

don't drive around, it's really easy to overheat your car.

listen from experiance lol.

java09

mos def!

you could be right, these slim fans are designed so you can fit a bigger aftermarket radiators..

So meaty, overheating problems? I always take long drives but I dont think its gonna be a problem, but city driving could be a concern...

java09

yeah i think there is some kind of clips or plugs or something for the fans.. and i dont think i have those. there is some kind or conectors in the box with the fans but they dont look correct..?

I havent really checked on it but there are some black tabs in there im not sure yet how they work

java09

yeah i have those tabs too but i dont see how they will work considering there is no screws or anything to screw them into..

aen

nono, i mean without them on lol. sorry my bad, actually slim line fans work more efficiantly than the ones you have on your car, the radiator breaks up the air flow in turn cooling the coolant that flows through it, and having a constant flow of air is more benificial than having air sit there and coolant run through it.

that's all it does, it's hte simplest concept on your car, yet the most benificial. lol.

aen

what you guys should have is some long zip tie looking things. they aren't really zip ties but they look like it.

push it through the radiator, be careful not to push it through crooked...it might disrupt the flow of coolant and cause a leak. hmm. don't the long things go right into the tab?

java09

thanks aen i was sure thats what they were. ace, you and i are missing those zip tie things for ours fans! it doesnt matter though because i missing a bunch of stuff still anyway.

can we use ordinary zip ties? what does it look like?

Java what important thing are you missing? just the injectors and emanage harness?

aen

actually, if anyhting. you guys can use anything to do it. if it comes down to that being your last missing piece, go to home depot and look for something that is small enough to go through the radiator with only bending one or maybe two of the things and strong enough to hol dhte fan up.

java09

well im not missing really important stuff, i would just rather install when i have the correct intake pipe and my harness so i can tune right away because the guys helping me with the install have the greddy emange blue support tool and have been tunning their own cars! so thats helpful! and the zip ties not sure that they look like but i think its something like a zip tie with something on the other end to hold the fans on.. try look at phils install and look at those little black clips holding his fans on.

java09

the tenth picture down on the first page of this thread and ou will see that we dont have those screw looking things for the install. we have more coming to us i guess...

aen

ohh, those aren't screws, they are long like....plastic things that have notches on them so the tab (that looks like the screw thing) actually slips over and locks onto each notch...sort of like a zip tie, hence zip tie thing lol.

i'd actually suggest having a pull fan hooked up to the turbo side of the radiator, you'd rather have air pulled in hit the radiator and then dissipated throughout the coolant than pushed into the coolant.

well, that's my rationality, plus. it was easier for me not to take the bumper off lol.

java09

yeah not screws but zip tie thingys! haha i guess it doent matter because im missing stuff anyway and the guys said install next weekend. hopefully i can tune then too!

olaHalo

if i remember right i spliced them both.
not hard. only 2 wires if i remember right. i used electrical tape though lol

as for those zip ties pull things

if you noticed, mine are only pulled through the compressor and not the radiator.
mr meaty or todd or whoever pulled his through both. which is easier i guess cause you dont have to scratch your hands. but who wants more holes in there radiator?

java09

not about hooking it up thats not a prob.. its the holding the fans to the car! those zip tie things that hold it on. i think there is 8 of them!

olaHalo

once you put the cap on, try and pull it off again. those things wont come off. the fans will be fine
