Perfect time for that mod down here in Florida... High nineties every day... except when raining of course.
Very nice craftsmanship on the welds, too!

It's funny the other day I was just thinking about getting some info about the GTM fans I heard about. Then you come out with this. Great job you guys.
I'm very interested in getting something like this soon. I let you know something when my car get back from the bodyshop.
Oh yea, good luck a Road Atlanta. That new resurfaced track is going to be sweet.

We'll have my car there, and Jose's NA monster...both running the fans, and we know exactly how hot our cars got in the past...so should provide some good anecdotal data points for everyone.

I think I know where I can get you the IFC relay from the G35 Turbonetics kit if you get the shroud and fans from Sharif.

yea, I have to say this was a pretty amazing difference in temp PLUS the sound is just amazing.
Chris, did a great job in my opinion, when you first look you dont even notice the shroud. It looks like part of the radiator. (by the way, I have the thick core Koyo radiator). The welds look just like stock. Funny thing is Chris said mine was not really up to the top of his personal standards, not enough time and his first one. I am sure the ones he has made now, are even better quality.
As for the benefits, I drove the car home to VA Saturday and with a consistent speed of roughly 85 mph (which is 6th gear and roughly 2700 rpm) my water temps stayed around 85c. That seemed pretty cool to me. I never saw the temp go above 87c even when gunning it.

Wow, Sam din't mention about these fans to me this morning when I was there gettting more things done.
