Why do you want to do that? no fan can generate the NA to be force induction. you need a turbo or compressor to do that. normal fan will just make more restriction. unless maybe you get a fan can turn so fast faster than the NA suction when is WOT.

I know what you are getting to, It won't work.

haha.. thinking suck cold air from bumper

your 2 radiator fan is already doing what you want.

when air pass through radiator it become hot air, bad for fc.

masuk cold air intake

Seizai, the small fan will not do anything, the radiator fan do more than cooling radiator heat, it blow the engine heat out, so it will also bring better cooler air into the engine bay. engine bay air will only be hot when is standstill, if the car move the air circulation will move.

Hi guys sorry to interrupt. Does anyone know FC for VQ25?

We discuss this before..maybe you want to search the tread a bit?
I can't remember but i'm sure we have a few Feilo in the club converted to VQ25DE.

I believe the Air filter box has an Air duct that guide cool air into it that is before the radiator..so it's cool "if you are moving"..if idle...susah also..

You might get 1-2 hp maybe..@ 6500rpm.

Feilo is a damn heavy beast.
You want something really kicks....Add a compressor or bolt on turbo la..
Else, no worth your time...:rolleyes::rolleyes:

 

[seizai]

nope.. when air reach filter it become warm..

can't balut span there.. coz it bengkok here n there...

outside air -> radiator -> fan -> engine
cold -> warm -> warm -> hot

if heavy rain there
outside air -> radiator -> fan -> engine
cold -> cold -> cold -> warm

btw engine will become hotter when using ron95.. anyone notice?

now i mix 95 & 97...

 

[weikee]

seizai, you should put a electronic thermometer to measure what you say. when the car is running, your engine bay heat is consider negligible.

I once run my car with 2 faulty radiator fan for 2 hours without problem and only notice the temperature go up when my car was on standstill. A/C is running no problem. Later i found out is not my fans faulty, is the fuse got burn.

As per dream.tent mention, putting such a small fan is useless and only cause more restriction to the intake air way.

Fatty is best run with 97 (at least for my car), with 95 engine will ping when is under load. and timing of the engine will be difference cause the knock sensor feedback to the ecu and ecu will adjust ignition timing to suit any grade of fuel in the vehicle, when lower octane usually the timing will be retard and this may result in lower performance of the car. You will notice significant changes when you first switch from 97 to 95, power maybe lesser, and engine noise maybe higher, once the ecu fully compensate the lower octane and you get used to the power you will feel everything seem normal. but in actual fact you are running lower timing and less power.

With 95, when my engine rev around 5k rpm it ping like hell.. after switching back to 97, all the way to rev cut i don't hear a single ping.

Oh please don't torture your Feilo with Ron95!

I tried 1 and half tank and my radiator burst!
The engine is running so much hotter with RON95.

I'm switching back to RON97 after replacing my radiator...

New Radiator RM650
New Coolant RM24
New hose (top side or hot hose) RM22
Workmanship RM 180

I now have a completely working spare radiator (Original) after replacing the top.
PM me if you want it.
Don't have picture yet. I'll shoot it if you want.

dream,

My wife once pump 91 in my fatty when i was in oversea, than she call me.. why the car no pickup one.. so powerless one.. and when i come back, i also notice the car ping like playing rock band :O so i ask what she did.. she say nothing nothing... than i ask did you pump petrol? she say yeah loh, and she use the cheapest one.. OMG.... lucky she did not use diesel
but ok lah lucky nothing happen.

At least she can "feel" it....

My wife just pump it before i can do research on her Bestari 206!!
Got a shock when "caltex web" put a big NO for Bestari!!

I ask her to monitor and i drove it over a weekend and finally pass with no power degradation at all...(at least i can't feel it and need no Dynometer to find out la)

ya. i planning do that but problem of cari lubang

 

[XTEC]

i do observed my ,when switch to 95 really suck. engine ping like hell especially when day drive under the hot sun. night still accaptable.going to switch back to 97....

Is it a coincidence ? I don't have any problem running with RON95- same consumption/power BUT my top radiator burst . I got it replaced but it didin't crossed my mind that the culprit was d RON95 fuel. Think I better change back to RON97 or higher b4 anything else breaks! hahaha..

Funny , I have a list of vehicles printed by MOTOR Trader which states that our fatty cars can use the RON95 BUT TO USE RON97 AND UP FOR MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE. There are only2 vehicles which i can remember (Japanese) cannot use RON95. The Lancer EVO & Airtrek .
