Who still has this in a sr20?? For those who hav got rid of it, what have you done to help cool the engine??
arent the viscous fans on sr's supposed to be realy good??
Why would you remove it :confused: it cools the engine also put the cowling on aswell!
Keep it, if its fucked and can turn easily then just bolt it up solid, but I wouldn't get rid of it.
my elec fan came off 1 day im just running that fan ever since i think there BRILLIANT leave it fo sho;)
i've electric fans in mine but had to cause of where i have the intercooler.if you've no issues with space leave in the viscious.and if your looking to run cooler drill 3 or 4 2mm holes in the thermostat,works a treat on my yoke anyway
What ever you do, Don't bolt it up solid; there's good reason for it being viscous...Quote:

Keep the viscous. I swapped mine for 2 electric fans and normal water temps went up over 10deg and oil 8deg. Pulled them off and went back to viscous after 1 drive.
Remember the viscous needs the cowling to do it's job properly, way too many lads run them without for god knows what reason
