Overheating 360 new engine

72blu.
6000cfm from a mech fan. Read what I said in post #65.
Yes, I read what you said. I haven't seen 6,000+ cfm published for a regular mechanical fan that would fit one of these cars, so frankly I asked you to back up your claim.

Most of the OE mechanical fans I've seen specs for that work on these cars are in the 5,000 cfm range at max flow, which is also usually closer to 4k rpm, not idle. Makes a BIG difference.
Slappy, I can answer your question in post #22. Buy a 18-19" mechanical fan.
I answered it in post #16 with a better solution for the OP, if you want to play that game.

Suggesting a mechanical fan for a guy asking for an electric fan that will move enough air to cool his car isn't really helpful. There are perfectly capable electric fans that will do the job.

As I said earlier in this thread, sometimes the cause of the problem [ o'heating in this case ] cannot be found, despite best efforts.


I know of a Suzuki Swift that had an engine check light that kept lighting up. Everything in that car that could possibly cause the problem was changed but the problem persisted: new engine, all the sensors, wiring harness, etc. Suzuki gave the customer a new car & the old one was shipped back to Japan.

Lol. First, a Suzuki Swift is a relevant example how?

And second, there was a problem that wasn't found. This is physics, not magic. The people looking for the problem just weren't capable of finding it and Suzuki cut their losses rather than continue to pay for failure. That's incompetence, not an unsolvable problem.
