Much bigger hub, fan blades are more aggressive in curvature and no mine doesn't run all the time. One guy over here says his uses more fuel now but that remains to be seen.

Yeah i saw those fans and they are almost identical to the Infinity fan im running. The hub you have is larger and seems to be real similar to the matching Infinity hub for the fan im using.
When i overfilled my hub it ran 15c cooler but the noise was unbearable to me as the fan was constantly on. The power loss was minor, i could have dealt with that....
Interested to hear your thoughts after a few weeks of running it.
What radiator are you using?

Been having a problem while on petrol. No power at all.
Dropped in two bottles of injector cleaner and 20L of 98. Drove it up past Bacchus Marsh through the hills working it hard up the long hills, 2nd gear 3500 - 4000 revs. Temps weren't too bad considering the weather and the A/C running too, peaked at 97 momentarily.
Did notice the power switch for the a/t go on by itself when dropping back a gear when in D, haven't really seen it before.
Seems to drive a lot better power wise now, not quite right but will do another run when I can.
12/97 GEE YOU

I find that if I Disconnect the Battery for say 1/2 an Hour to reset the ECU it runs a lot better on Petrol.

Yeah, I've had the battery disconnected last fortnight, didn't really make a difference. It's almost 20 years old and has probably never had 98 or any type of injector cleaner in it before.
I think it just needed a high octane overdose to blow off all the crap on the tips.

Put some 98 in it and go for a long highway drive. beneboy told me he did this with his car or something similar and it ran better after doing it.
