[pole drift]

Who still has this in a sr20?? For those who hav got rid of it, what have you done to help cool the engine??

[PeterT]

arent the viscous fans on sr's supposed to be realy good??

[Stevo]

Why would you remove it 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.

What ever you do, Don't bolt it up solid; there's good reason for it being viscous...

I had one seize on a E39 520; it disintegrated while overtaking only to punch two good holes straight through the bonnet, destroyed all the plastic cowling, cut clean through a radiator pipe and broke the secondary heating pump in half. And I’d only borrowed the car

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
