sr20de electric fan upgrade
Currently running a CXRacing civic/delSol 3-row radiator and the fan that came with it. Would like to improve the air flow. Any suggestions as to what brand and model has worked best? TIA Pat

Re: sr20de electric fan upgrade
I'm upgrading from the civic/delsol (mine was a 2 row) to a 3 row mishimoto radiator and fan. I haven't run it yet since my engine is being rebuilt. Same length and height but 1/2" thicker. The fan is flatter so doesn't take up any more room.

I went from a 2 row Mishimoto to a 3 row and it made a big difference. Also used a Nismo thermostat.

I'm curious which Mishimoto model ? I just ordered one for my Z and checked but didn't see any listed for Roadsterssfdaugherty wrote: Wed Jun 16, 2021 6:44 pm I'm upgrading from the civic/delsol (mine was a 2 row) to a 3 row mishimoto radiator and fan.

I'll try to see if I have an invoice in the paperwork to let you know what the combo is.
I'll text you some pictures

Re: sr20de electric fan upgrade
There is no model for a datsun roadster. The one I purchased is an exact fit for the honda delsol/civic radiator that I had.

My car never overheated in daily driving even on hot days. The only time it overheated was on the dyno when it was really being pushed.

Re: sr20de electric fan upgrade
I have used a SPAL 14" puller fan with electronic 190F ON - 180F OFF range thermostat on a clean stock radiator, replacing the crank-driven fan, for almost a decade with great results.
