[QUOTE="d4ngerz0ne, post: 745484, member: 45572"] More information will be added to this thread in due time. Uploading pictures is too much of a hassle ! [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/aLcURGR.jpg[/IMG] New weatherpack connectors arrive. This time the correct size that can cater for 10 - 12 GA wire. [IMG]http://imgur.com/EiMj7f0.jpg[/IMG] Didn't have a crimping tool so had to do with using pliers . Added solder as a precaution . Tested the connectors with a multimeter and worked fine. Gave it a good tug to make sure it was nice and secure. [IMG]http://imgur.com/d9OJzJs.jpg[/IMG] The original connector on the Mishimoto fan, does not instill confidence. I had it switched to the Delphi connector . I realised at this point that the gauge of wire I went with might have been a little overkill. [IMG]http://imgur.com/qGMImB8.jpg[/IMG] Mock up of where I'd place the copper inline sensor .I think i went with the 1.25" diameter one. [IMG]http://imgur.com/gbzzO9q.jpg[/IMG] Placing the inline copper hose adaptor meant splicing the lower radiator hose. Removing the radiator hose was a pain , but managed to remove it without breaking anything. [IMG]http://imgur.com/K18C9NU.jpg[/IMG] Temperature probe placed into the sensor . I wrapped the sensor with some teflon tape to prevent any potential leaks. [IMG]http://imgur.com/PqiEttY.jpg[/IMG] I trimmed the [I]kuih[/I] pan so that it would fit more snugly/deeper into the fan shroud. Its just secured with 5 bolts , will probably add loctite later . I test the fan by hot-wiring to the car battery and it was very secure. It was at this point that i realised that I could change the depth/height of the fan by removing some spaces by the motor. Theres a trade off of course, as removing the spacer meant moving the fan further out from the shroud. [IMG]http://imgur.com/jvPBtig.jpg[/IMG] Out with the old. Old fan shroud was really caked up (probably from the power steering reservoir leak that i had earlier) and brittle. DO NOT REUSE OLD FAN SHROUD UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE . [/QUOTE]
