Gauging Interest: GT Oil-cooler Fan support Options

[RiqueMar]

Hi All,

I've received several messages and seems there is some interest in a recent fan/shroud support I created for my 3.6 project. Sending this thread out to gauge interest in producing a run of these, photos of the prototype below (shown in ABS)....

Generalities:
- 16 gauge steel, easily customizable for each build, and allows the 'garage builder' to weld
- Added 1" on top and bottom. The user/myself can either bend the top and bottom to be used as an additional air-direct for pusher/puller fans, or as a support for aluminum/fiberglass shroud OR the excess can be trimmed to more accurately reflect the below photo.
- In production now, 1-2 week to delivery
- Targeting 'initial run' price of $120 per piece, will increase.

Looking at the Armando thread and the work that went into that cooler and plenum setup, and as much as it represents the factory effort, I would say that the factory effort was significantly better than quick and dirty.

It is all about directing and controlling airflow. The air is being driven by pressure differential and that differential is surprisingly small in these kinds of systems. The effort done to smooth and contain the airflow in the factory setup is what optimizes the flow and makes it work.

Again, the addition of fans kind of changes the whole equation and makes up for a lot of less than optimal design features.
