Help Support 4GTuner:
power steer fluid gets very hot. just like any hydrolic type fluid does.
also and fluid or air that has been compressed increases in tempreture. i am not sure what temps powersteer fluid gets to in a normal car, but plumbing it throught the rad isnt that bad of an idea(temps depending) as water is a much more efficent cooler than air.
but i have seen heaps of track and drift cars upgrade the power steer loop to a trans cooler or proper oil cooler to help this. many drift cars do it being held on or near lock at high eng rpm.

Man, how good are they! They move some serious air around.

or is it one of the fans from supercheap auto? I ended up getting one of them seems very similar to the davies craig and also pumps out some air! seem good for the price..
I ended up getting an ASI radiator.. very happy with it.. fit well (except the stock brackets didnt quite line up, but im going to make some new ones anyway.
I took it out weekend before lastm but cant comment on it the car was any cooler, as a damaged/leaking headgasket mean the car was overheating big time anyway..
Peasoup, just be careful with thoes pull though ties to secure the fan to the radiator, te seemed to be quite sturdy, however after a few stages all bar one had all broken off and the fan was flappin around between the rad and the turbo, ofcourse it would be a bit rougher in the rally car, but worth keeping an eye on..

Yep, SPAL 13" going by the size, the 14inch was a tiny bit too large, spewin. It was 24mm thinner than Davis Craig, plus you can order as a puller, not have to switch the fan blade around.
Thanks for the heads up!, It didn't come with any mounting hardware and most just weld tabs on so that can mount it properly, I thought I will keep close eye on it and if it looks like any of them show sings of wear, I will pull it out and get some proper brackets made. Those cable tie style mounts are the Craig Davies ones. This car does bugger all kms, so it hopefully wont be a problem.

Yeh, theres the plastic screw out drain plug too, looks like an ASI to me.
So for GSR's golpher would be the best option since it has the temp sensor provision.

Formally known as 347-dis
Dean said:
Dean is this for a aftermarket sensor (autometer gauge) or a factory sensor????
how much more room does it take between turbo and raidator???
thinking of getting one of theses

No mate, thats for the factory GSR sensor. It screws into the GSR radiator, which the ASI radiator doesnt have provision for.347-dis said:
It does take probably an additional 25mm or so, therefore you will have to run a slimline fan with it to clear the turbo etc.
As per here.
George - there must have been 2 ASI models then? mine definitely has a plastic plug.

so do the golpher ones bolt straight up to a gsr? i enquired about a golpher one through michael auto parts and they said there is 3 different sizes. Are the evo1-3 hoses as seen on ebay able to fit a gsr aswell?
