States 3300 @ 0" Static pressure. I am pretty sure that is both fans together.

Shady, I told you 24amps but I checked the Flex-A-Lite site and it is 22AMPS for both at full tilt.

what will be the cfm draw once you get it installed? It has to be better--look at the size of the motors. They also should be quieter with the s blades.
Make sure you get the shroud sealed well--you know.
Increased cfm flow will only go so far toward cooling issues--but this is a very good start! Air conditioning will also work better.
Have you considered moving the a/c condensor out from the radiator by about an inch or so? Less restriction for the fans to deal with--every little bit helps.
You may have saved a pound or two also.
The electric power steering wires will need to be cushioned from the fan harmonics--you know that too--just mentioned it for those that may not.
pics after install?
I got the boost a spark on--and did a carbon fiber ( silver and black) install on the entire center console and pass through. Look at my posts on the Pettit thread--pics included.

I didn't get a chance to install it this weekend because I went out of town yesterday but I guess Hoss-05 was doing some test fitting on his Mazmart radiator I knew it would fit pretty well based on my measurements. It looks like it fits pretty damn good

It should work out well. I just have to get rid of those Flex-A-Lite decals and replace them with some SARX flava ASAP

the pin kit I got for my oil coolers work great (they are not a cheapie kit ) but I am sure we can over engineer something to work just fine

Yeah I ordered the metal pin fan mounting kit you used. Those buggers are a little expensive ($3.95 each WTF) but well worth it I think. I will also fab some brackets to mount to a couple of the mounting holes on the radiator just for extra support.

I also added a hard rubber washer (I will give you some) to allow more pressure on the "nut" (or whatever its called)

Cool, thanks!

Not really, 1-2 PSI but then it goes rich as fawk. But it drives great otherwise at partial throttle around town. Even at that you can feel a huge difference. I'm just waiting to get my tune finished. It's killing me


On another note, I figured out why my Mizu fan issue seems to have gotten worse. At lunch I was checking some things out and it seemed like one of the fans (below battery) was not blowing very hard at all and so when I got to work my temps got up to 212F and when I popped the hood, that same fan was off completely. So i guess it just quit all together so there is only one fan blowing. That will do it.

yeah - the first thing i noticed . The extra torque at low rpm and less than 0psi boost is substantial .

Yep, I have a little before the street to my house that I would always have to downshift to 1st before making the turn to go up and now I just roll up it in second gear no problem. I love it, I can't wait to be able to push it.
