S14 sr20det

Post by RaceBreed »

Sup Gents.

I know the s14 sr20det comes with a viscous fan but does it also have an electric fan for the A/C?

not sure what you mean? are you talking about the aircon radiator? if so not i dont think it does.

Yes I'm talking about the aircon radiator. Does it have its own electric fan or does it get its cooling from the viscous? I hope this makes sense

well im not 100% sure but on a s13 the aircon radiator is in front of the coolant radiator as its quite big and the viscous pulls air through it. I assume the s14 will be the same as there is no real space to have an independent fan and that fan would likely restrict flow to the coolant radiator.

That's what I think. I'm asking because when I got my s14 with the sr20det, it had a viscous fan and an electric fan and now that I'm doing an rb25det swap, I wasn't sure what to do about the fan setup.. looks like I'm keeping the viscous :domo:

So does that mean that the electric fan is dedicated to the cooling of the ac radiator only?
