Default Better cooling equipment and winter!

I am tinking about buying a Fluidyne Radiator, Flex-a-lite Fan and an oil cooler.

But the question is, what will happen when it's -30C? Is the Flex-a-lite fan design to work in that kind of weather? Is it built to deal with extreme cold weather and snow?

Might sound like a dumb question but I rather ask now before its too late.

You should be fine. The worst that will happen, is the car will take a little longer to warm up.

Your fans aren't going to be coming on in those temperatures.

My car takes for ever to warm up in the winter. Atleast 5-10 mintues of driving with the heater off. With the heater on it will take longer.

I replaced by stock raditor with a metal one from radiator barn I think. so its a little bigger than stock.

I wouldn't run the oil cooler in the winter, oil temp without one rarely gets up to operating.

Put cardboard in front of your raditor in the winter. Helps a lot.
