Just went through the exercise of putting nomex on the rad which entailed taking out the engine fan unit and air intake system. That fan sucker is heavy and bulky AF.
Just wondering if anyone has replaced the OEM fan with something lighter, like a Flex-a-lite unit or similar. Just did a quick scan and their model 116 makes 2200 cfm and only weighs about 5 lbs. Would need some mounting stuff added so that would add a bit of weight. It's been my experience that the fans on my car only ran with A/C on or the car not moving, with any movement at all it seemed the fans were not running. Since I did the A/C delete I'm thinking I don't need this giant weight sink in the front of my car. Most race cars don't run a fan, they cool them in the pits with big external fans running off 110V power.
Has anyone taken on an OEM fan delete/adding an aftermarket fan to an S550?
