Is that off of the brazil only VW powered front engine car? Gurgel or something....
If it is Jake did tests and found it works good...as long as it's in a front mounted engine car (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) |

how would he have tested it to compare it being mounted in the front, middle or rear??? I'd still rather have one of Jakes DTM's, 1st time I saw this one today....it looks nice (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif) |

If you buy a copy of "Hot VW" magazine (or just read it at grocery (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) )
Company makes those kits designed for Type IV motors. Hey Jake... are they worth a damn? someone also makes a horizontal electric fan kit. claim you gain 10HP, look in Excelence mag |

The Horizontal Electric fan ain't that great. From what I hear the back cylinders run hottter than the fronts. This was also coming from an idiot that couldn't tune his car so take that info with a grain of salt.
Now that being said. I think Jake and the Engineers at VW are the only ones who really studied the cooling system of an aircooled engine. There is a reason why the DTM works and others don't. Looks don't always mean works. |

The DTM was originally engineered by a fellow Rose City Volkster, Joe Locicero (deceased). |

I had a DTM. Kept my 2270 nice and cool, running 80-90mph on the highway in my Bug. Amazing work. And, I talked to Joe on the phone a many times - what an amazing person. He was a true artist, engineer, and one HELL of a nice guy. He'll truely be missed...

The kit in Mike's post is kind of strange. It uses an axial flow fan with a shroud shaped for a centrifugal fan. It just looks like there would be a lot of inefficiency as the air goes from axial flow to low velocity higher pressure in the scroll case. It doesn't look right to me, but what the hell?

Okay that fan came from a VW GOL. A front engined, aircooled 1300cc engine that primarily ran off of Alcohol.
It is an axial fan thats made of Nylon on the later versions- IT SUCKS!!! When I did my Type I DTM comparisons this frigging shroud was THE WORST thing known to man.. I was hoping it would have been better because it does look cool and would have opned up some doors but it is HORRIBLE! Below is a test that could only last 7.5 minutes because the engine was risking serious heat damage. When I saw these results I knew this bastrd was worthless to test any further- I changed drive ratios and it got worse! After one day of goofing around i gave up Testing/Atmospheric Conditions Inlet Air Temp (°F): 123 Humidity (%): 40 Alt Press (ft abv sea lvl): 1600 Testing Amb Temp (°F) 90 Run Constant Speed (rpm): 3500 Constant Load (ft-lbs): 11 Monitored Temperature (°F) 0 2.5 5 7.5 #1 Cyl Head Temp: 0 285 325 325 #2 Cyl Head Temp: 0 350 375 385 #3 Cyl Head Temp: 0 405 470 495 #4 Cyl Head Temp: 0 400 460 480 Oil Temp: 0 190 265 290 Here is another test Monitored Temperature (°F) 0 2.5 5 7.5 10 12.5 #1 Cyl Head Temp: 0 285 325 325 325 325 #2 Cyl Head Temp: 0 350 375 385 383 380 #3 Cyl Head Temp: 0 410 475 500 510 505 #4 Cyl Head Temp: 0 400 460 480 495 495 Oil Temp: 0 190 265 300 305 310 Like I said- IT HORRIBLE! I can only think that the front mounted engine that was alcohol fed really made a big difference in the stock application. Nothing was worse than this in my testing. Nothing parallels a DTM as you can see below... This is a 4800 RPM test @ 12.5 dyno pound load- equal to over 100 MPH +/- . remember this was in a 150+F ambient setting. It was so hot it melted my timing light laying on the floor of the dyno cell! Testing/Atmospheric Conditions Inlet Air Temp (°F): 125 Humidity (%): 20 Alt Press (ft abv sea lvl): 1600 Testing Amb Temp (°F) 155 Run Constant Speed (rpm): 4800 Constant Load (ft-lbs): 12.5 Monitored Temperature (°F) 0 5 10 15 20 Time in Min #1 Cyl Head Temp: 300 360 365 365 #2 Cyl Head Temp: 305 350 360 365 #3 Cyl Head Temp: 300 350 370 365 #4 Cyl Head Temp: 305 355 365 360 Oil Temp: 180 200 210 220 These DTM tests were done on a TIV engine- 2270cc @ 153HP in the middle of summer 2003. The TI tests were done on a 187HP 2165cc engine in January 2004. So there is no comparison between the 2 as far as overall temps are concerned- I was just trying to illustrate the differences in the even running temps.... NOTHING beats a DTM! |
