With the way the jeep has treated him, I wouldn't be surprised if he used the subaru engine to build a flying gently caress.  Like this. but larger.

Elviscat posted:Existing tank and new external oil pump seems like a piece of piss to install, if it's in the price range just run it. This. If it has supply issues, put the external pump in a can or use a damper behind it. Priming can be a bitch. use a dedicated lift pump if needed. Fuel cells are awesome, cost aside they come with their own mounting pains. As for the XJ tank, do you, Overbuild the poo poo out of it, however it's an il-advised solution from a liability perspective.

kastein posted:They literally spent thousands of dollars on every electric fan conversion kit on the drat market, one after the other, trying to make it work. Every one claimed to be an upgrade. Every one moved less air than stock. They actually put them in a wind tunnel and measured the flow produced *correctly* instead of with a dumb anemometer you stick in the flow (in the spot that reads highest, naturally) and then multiply by the fan area like fan ppl conversion kit sellers do. I wanted to stay outta this, but eh. I want to know more about this controlled fan clutch, I've thought about throwing one from a 6.0PSD in my shitheap for a while. Will this give you the best of both worlds? there are running conditions where a fan override is really needed. I've done electrics, Taurus/mkVIII fans, volvo fans, bespoke electrics. in the dirt a clutch has its place. In the last rover there was a reason why I used a 5.3 LS clutchfan on it. The stocker, much less an electric couldn't keep the warmed over engine cool. The electrics do just fine under a light load. Put them under a heavy load in a heatsoaked enginebay and things go to poo poo righteously fast. Add in 120F ambient temperatures and sand, almost nothing is going to keep it chill. To get around this, radiators are relocated and supersized with larger e-fans like you see in prerunners and ultra4. Part the problem with off the shelf 4wds is the bullshit hanging out in front of the radiator, bumpers, winches, condensers, etc. Like others said, motors have to be small to fit, which means it's not going to spin a fan with an aggressive pitch. You need the volume here. I've tinkered with radiator sprayers (like a windshield washer jet or a porch mister) with good results in the desert. That with a electric would work. That with a selectable clutch fan, would be the best kind of overkill. The higher amp drawing fans would always cause voltage sag at idle causing the fan to move less air. They don't like mud or moon dust. The two major use cases I remember where elevated coolant tempertures presented was at high load low speed (sand and hill climbs) , and at high speed high load driving(lake beds, sand, highways) . the 5.3 LS fan that I ran on the rover would pull roughly 40hp off the engine, it made a noticable reduction in power when it and the aircon was engaged. There's a reason why heavy duty vehicles run switchable engine driven fans. The pitch and diameter can be pushed by no shortage of power which allow for designs that move more air. Seat Safety Switch posted:I remember CSB also had some experiments with changing out ("maintaining") the viscous clutch oil in his heap as well. Suspect a lot of them are simply not running as well as they once were from contamination. yup. Four years later it is still working fine. I vaguely recall 50cc of 10,000 cSt r/c diff fluid. you'll need to experiment with the clutch to find the right volume of fluid. E: electric cooling pumps can be pwm operated based on temperatures. That one aspect alone gives you greater control over the cooling temperatures and how long the coolant sits in the radiator or the block respectively. with a standard engine driven pump the thermostat controls that dwell time. cursedshitbox fucked around with this message at 18:00 on Apr 5, 2020 |
