Has anyone fitted a UFI fan & hub.
If so did it help in lowering the temps,
Cheers

They are apparently ducks nuts . From reading the forum here and the FB pages people swear by them.Originally Posted by Tonks
Rocket55 fitted one not long ago . They give out a bit of noise and supposedly take off 5-10kw off your power pool .

I have no personnel experiance with the info I am about to give you. Only from my research so take it as you like. I have heard good things about the UFI fan & hub assembly but I also stummbled upon a thread which I can't find now adays where a fellow with a TD42 getting hot fitted a Toyota coaster Fan to the existing Nissan Hub & it fixed his running hot problem. A hell a lot cheaper if it dose work. The part number is Toyota Coaster Bus ZPN-06129. He had to mod the fan do fit. From what I can see looking at a pick on Ebay it just needs a bit of the 4 mounting tabs grouns down a little. from what i have read the TD42 hot thing is an air flow issue. These fans like the UFI fan pul a lot more air. Like I said No experiance with it but $90 compared to $600 I'd give the $90 jobbie a go & see. Then you can let me know if it works incase I start experiancing the running hot problems. Cheers Jono.
The conspiracy theorists were right!

I'm about to fit this one and add some Toyota silicone oil to my TD42T hub.
This is the fan used on the Infiniti G35

Yeah i got one of those too coming soon. But i will do the fan first before i do the yota oil just to see what difference it makes. I wondering how the G35 hub would go too.

I'd be interested to see what clearances you have. I know I have to modify my shroud because it will hit.
Probably have to move the rad 15mm forward just for a little more peace of mind.

I started a thread last year on work I'd been doing with the G35 (and the C34 which has a slightly less aggressive pitch but is a far easier fit due to different offset ring placement)

the fundamental problem is about air flow, and that can be confused with issues about absolute CFM, which actually has a point of diminishing returns. ie absolute high CFM will get to a point where it becomes detrimental rather than beneficial
not sure if its been flagged, but the toyo fan is 20mm larger in diameter than the std nissan fan, so there is the potential for shroud strike if you have any non standard items (rad, shroud, body lift etc...)

Are they meant to push more air than standard? Looking at those fins... it may .
I was talking to UFI today about ordering bits and bobs and the hub/fan they sell , I'm pretty sure from memory he said was $590 ?

It's way more aggressive than the original. Probably hard to see in the pic but they're impressive to look at closely.
Is that $590 + postage? I don't have that kind of money to throw at a fan and hub. That's 2/3 of the price of the new Mamba turbo I'm buying.
I'm confident the stock hub will do the job with a little more oil added.
