re: gutted-dx's Sleeved B16 STC Surfer Engine Build Progress Thread.
I couldn't find the one Shodan recommended but I found a 12 in 1300cfm for $65-80 and another 12 in that pulls 1700 but it's $200 ******* dollars haha. Do I need a $200 dollar fan for 320 horsepower? What's everyone running? I also have a fluidyne radiator and that's why I don't wanna buy the koyo at moment and then it will still have to be clocked and I'll be st square one haha hence the SF unit. Thanks for input

Please remember. REGARDLESS OF HORSEPOWER, the car will only function as well as it's weakest link. And believe me, that engine, and tune will find that weak link and exploit it. This is an investment not just about "budget"
Instead of "YOLO", think "BOCO" (Buy Once, Cry Once)
And my apologies. The part number you're looking for to match with that Radiator 1570 is SPAL 30102044
Easily found here:
https://www.amazon.com/Spal-30102044.../dp/B009OBOSMC
See? All the work is done.. Now, quick "monkeying around" and get this thing done, so you can have some FUN already!

Thanks Shodan just trying to save for that Silver Surfer! Haha. Ordered the fan and it'll be here Friday. Maybe if a track is open around here I'll hit up and see what this pain in my *** will do.

SPAL fan was one of the best purchases I've made. Blows every other slim fan out of the water.

definitely SPAL is the only way to go.........you ordered a puller fan, I just dont see how that will fit your engine bay in its current configuration. I was gonna recommend a pusher you will definitely be moving things around, I dont see that intake pipe fitting with a puller fan
also you never replied about your fan settings in your EMS, they are more important than you may think. Your post said it wont overheat with the bumper off so thats what is making me think this is an AIR FLOW issue and not anything else
*needed to know max vehicle speed under your fan settings...this could be an issue

I'd always keep the fan settings low. (In fact, I typically don't touch them at all, and let the thermostat do the work. To hell with the computer.) Anything over 40mph-50mph, and you're bringing in more air than the fan can produce anyway/

not for me....if I turn my fan off based on speed my car overheats, theirs just not enough air flow with my intercooler in the way. My intercooler is 8" tall and 3.5 inch thick, Civic bumpers have less air flow then integras do

An example, my old ED9:
Stock thermostat, 300whp of pure fun out of a JDM B16B, Spearco Intercooler, never reached over 198F*
I'd also look at the what else you're doing in the way of ignition timing, which can cause cylinder temperatures within the block to increase, causing coolant to reach boiling points sooner, and the link continues.
Again, I could be wrong, but something tells me about your setup, something else is up. I've never experienced that problem not only in my own, but many others I've encountered as well.
Come to think of it, I don't know of anyone on Hondata systems that ever had to touch the fan controls.... But I'm rather old, and don't know much about these things as I haven't touched Hondata since 2003...

re: gutted-dx's Sleeved B16 STC Surfer Engine Build Progress Thread.
MY car is an EK the bumper openning is 6" tall, which is completely taken up by my intercooler. I am not directly debating this but this has been my experience with my setup it does overheat when the fan is turned off. I dont do ignition settings as I am not a tuner, but had the same results from 2 different tuners.
The OP has stated no overheating issues with bumper off so it definetly sounds to be an airflow issue
Lightingteg uses these settings sighting the same lack of airflow with intercooler issue

Lightningteg has a USDM Integra front end with a MUCH larger and denser core, with no provisions by the license plate for better airflow. He's a completely different animal. In my 500whp USDM Integra, I didn't use "fan controls" there either, but I did have overheating issues on the JDM front end of the same car. Found it was the radiator itself, and not the intercooler. .

Good to know, I also deal with very high humidity in this area currently 85* and 50% humidity
anyways OEM does not turn off based on speed, and if my car cools down past 190 whether it by from the fan or natural airflow fan turns off so it works either way

its go autoworks branded "type R" core dimensions 22" x 8" x 3.5", took a look inside and the core looks to be the chinese type.
Was thinking about going with a smaller but more efficient garrett 400HP core which is 6" tall and would match my bumper openning, Pretty sure my intercooler gets heatsoaked on the bottom due to the inlet being at the bottom an and not much airflow in that area due to the bumper.

If I post ignitions tables would that help? Also I've had 3 different fans all set up push pull with same results so I think the fan will fit fine either way.
Onto coolant, 100 percent water with wetter?

Thanks 2k.
So, my cooling system will consist of-
Fluidyne radiator
Spal 1700 cfm fan
Samco hoses
50/50 mix with wetter
If this doesn't work I'm gonna look into the headgasket.
Could someone take a look at my ignition tables? From what I've read they should be smooth correct?

I'll up load them later. I'm in no way badmouthing them either just running out of cooling angles to solve this. They are still the most professional shop I've been to save for maybe do it dyno in cali.
