19cturbo Posted April 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 before i went to the meet i had an issue, i used cheap radiator mounts and it rubbed a few holes in my radiator. But i got that squared away before the meet and had to come up with a better solution. So i decided to build a fan shroud to help aid in my cooling. It came out great! and it cools much better. Built the shroud by hand and bent all the metal by hand..... it was a pain in the butt, but yes i did make it happen lol poor thing had a runny nose. http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd23/19cturbo/1JZ%20SWAP/8E78F2F5-6858-4EB8-B18A-C984EC464322_zpsztis1xxm.jpg started working the shroud http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd23/19cturbo/1JZ%20SWAP/1B4C30BA-0E70-4C5C-B576-3B983DE8834B_zpswr8jczsk.jpg made a home made break! http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd23/19cturbo/1JZ%20SWAP/6E0A9093-D7CF-488D-9E43-E08D82AADD9A_zpsanrztvaz.jpg got the shroud built http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd23/19cturbo/1JZ%20SWAP/3A3464B1-E33C-473E-88AA-AB943DCE6F2A_zpshrbgsysu.jpg fans mounted! http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd23/19cturbo/1JZ%20SWAP/7BAEC8C5-0AE3-4DF1-8E8F-368BFB63EFB6_zpsnuefklml.jpg http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd23/19cturbo/1JZ%20SWAP/CB499F20-91DC-41A4-8701-6736DFFDBD6C_zpsgsmeej8e.jpg Painted and installed http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd23/19cturbo/1JZ%20SWAP/92FD34DE-6B55-485C-B6D1-6AD806129661_zpsvwekncje.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19cturbo Posted April 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Looks good Mike.....why did you not cover the last little bit of the lower radiator with your shroud? and the air diverter looks cool too. the radiator sits in front of the radiator support, that part sits against the support, Flat against it actually lol. I did actually cut the support out a little to allow me to make the shroud go further down, but it still cant go all the way to the bottom. It could have went down another half inch maybe, fluke on my part but it still cools great. thats also why the shroud goes fllat at the bottom instead of being boxed out like the top.
