I used a radiator out of a 90 turbo eclipse, wired both fans together on a simple togle switch tight sqweeze you'll have to relocate your battery and get a splice for your upper radiator hose with a cap on it. My first gen (perforated bridge port 12a) runs almost cold at 60 on the highway,

As of right now...

Im running an electric fan...

Dunno the CFM or blade length..

Any ways I have it between the engine and radiator .and used a pull set up ...and in stop and go trafffic it wasnt so good.but didnt over heat*



Now last Friday I installed my restrictor I made..and its keeping it alot cooler..

If you guys want to try it do this....



Take a new ..or old thermostat...

BUT buy a new gasket...



Cut the 2 side peices on the back side of the thermostat that is holding the guts in...

pull the guts out with out bending the thermostat...(the flat part)...



Now make sure you dont any loose metal peices that will get into your engine...then put it back in and add the new gasket...



I have done This on my 12A and NOT sure if this is good for 13Bs



It has droped my temp down by I would say 25%..which in FLweather is good..



My goal for my cooling system is ..



Aluminum radiator..



Big push fan /in front of the radiator..

with Air rams ducts to help get air into the fan..

and looks clean when you look into the engine..



and putting the restrictor back in..
