Hi guys, I want to get as much power out of my SD33 as possible so I am thinking and would like any suggestions on how can I improve that by taking out the engine driven radiator fan or leave it or in fact how power would I get out of it.

Thanks

You can remove the factory clutch fan set up , and perhaps go a thermo fan set up , but the power difference will be minimal and the CFM of air flow will be less, resulting in it possibly running hotter
You can get extractors for the SD33 n/a motors, this and a larger than factory exhaust system should result in better power
A stock or near stock SD33 n/a id leave alone, except maybe the extractor set up ,as they are ultra reliable , and will go forever in a day IF serviced regular
Failing that look into an SD33 T , up the boost , up the fuel , maybe intercooled , depending on boost , 10 PSI youll be right , much over that id go intercooled
How deeps the wallet ???
IF ya want a different power band, look into changing the diff gears,or changing the tyre sizes
This alone will change the cars power and charactoristics
