New Cooling System

Got my car back today, nice and tidy. Will post some pics soon. Here is the work that was completed:

• Aircon removed
• PWR Radiator and new thermo fan installed
• PWR oil cooler
• Radiator cover/mount thing installed

Originally there was not going to be a new fan, but it was found that the old one was the wrong type. Rather than being a fan to suck air through the radiator it was attempting to push air through it. Now seeing I have the intercooler, then fan is between the engine and the radiator, and that means the old fan would have simply been blowing the hot air from the engine onto the radiator (attempting to cool the engine). This is why you want a fan that attempts to suck the air through it as it draws the air from the front of the car rather than from the engine. ;)

But already the temp is noticeably lower, so that is good. Plus with the aircon gone and everything installed properly it looks schweet. I'm a happy camper.

Up next: car is booked in for the 22nd to get an eBoost 2 installed and finally a tune. :)

Wheels: well, I guess they're with Australia Post somewhere by now and maybe I'll get them tomorrow (unlikely) but surely early next week. Then I'll need to make sure they fit and then following that go and get the rubber.
