punishment racing o2.

[dsmgabe]

does anyone know if you can still run factory fans when using the P.R o2 housing with the 38mm dump?

 

[honda_burner]

The cooling fan yes. The a.c fan im pretty sure no. My turbo melted mine before I got my o2 housing though.

What's up Gabe. I think I ran into you at the last DSM meet on 50. I had the silver 2g with the front bumper removed.

As burner said, you can bet money that you will have to either shave down your OEM fan housing or get a quality slim fan (AC side). There are a few options that let you keep both fans, but those are pretty unique setups IMO and require a lot of trial and error ($).

No stock AC fan does now work. Even a slim fan is really close

You are best to get a spal pusher fan and mount it on the front side of the ac core if you still have room there.

Which is a better choice the straight blade or the curved blade fans?

 

[LiquidX]

From what I remember curved was better. I could be wrong. I got my fans from www.the-fan-man.com

 

[chinola69]

Thanks looks like after a little research the staight flow more, but the curved are quieter.

Note: Looks like the paddle style outflows both straight and curved.

I have the FAL fan setup and it works with mine.

Any pics of your setup?

Any pics of your setup?

Not on the work computer. They fit tight with my HX-40 setup, but they have'nt melted and work great.

 

[dsmgabe]

thank you guys i will post pics when the o2 housing arrives.

I fit my punishment o2 in with both stock fans, had to bash one of the supports in on the ac fan, but I still got it to fit.

Turbo and manifold play a part in fitment too with the variation of both placement and angle. My HX40 in a BEP bolt-on housing with the PR MVS o2 housing gave me very little clearance to the radiator.

Yes ive seen cars with both slim fans and a 38mm gate off the o2 housing but it all depends on the turbo, manifold, and not all 38mm gates are the same size. But stock a/c fan will not fit only a slim has a chance.

Tried looking up your fan part numbers, they dont seem to work. That puller fan you have looks thick. How thick is it?

 

[LiquidX]

Sorry, I didn't realize I put the part numbers in wrong. The one had an extra number while the other was missing a number.

Puller is PN 30102038 3.7" thickness
Pusher is PN 30101505 2.48" thickness

By the way, my MVS was black. That's what happens when the anodizing gets super hot.

 

[chinola69]

I want to run the PRO2 also but I think with the fans I want to run it is possible to run the double fans. Was thinking about running 2 of these SPAL USA were the fan shroud is only about 1.1 inches thick opposed to yours that is 2 1/4 inches thick. Also long as the wastegate doesnt land were the motor is I should be alright.

And WOW on the color change "only real mean rock pink"

What is most important is the CFM total of the fans. The oem fans are about 1600 cfm each. I smaller the fan, the less it will be able to cool through airflow.
