Kirk Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 A 3.6 stoker has only been theorised but never attempted due to the clearances being so small, whilst possible would cost the best part of 15k just for a one off and need to be built PERFECTLY with every clearance bang on so im calling BS on the 3.6 unless he can prove it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Okay, on second look it appears the fan blade may be knackered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTRickeh Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Must've been the full mince pie supper and extra pickled onion to cause that sort of damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 taking a look at that picture it seems that the fan blade might be somewhat knackered and I would suggest he replaces it with something more in keeping with a 1000bhp car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the HKS 3.4L kit is only truly 3.35L and the stroke and piston diameters are pretty much at the limit on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aero-M Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 As it hasn't been mentioned, I noticed the state of the fan blade was a little poor. Maybe a poll would be helpfull?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Not sure about the fan, but the thing that pulls cold air through the rad and into the engine bay looks a bit worse for wear. Jazz1 rat conversion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abz Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 I love this forum! Someone is building a 1000BHP car and all everyone can talk about is the fan blade! ...have to say though the fan blade does look broken. Looking forward to the video's and pics.

Lee P Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Not sure on the 3.6L stoker TBH but someone should really let him know that the fan blade is broken. Cant be good for the cooling at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeG Posted October 9, 2010 Author Share Posted October 9, 2010 I think when I next see him I will need to say about this broken fan lol does anyone know if I can upload the video straight from my iphone4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, should be able to upload it straight into YouTube. Just go to the recording then press on the left hand side arrow & it should give you a option to "Send to YouTube". The upload is quicker over wifi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Please don't post video links to cars with damaged cooling fans. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 If only there was some sort of cowling that shrouded the fan, so any breakage of said fan was not visible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
