Has anyone install a better radiators fan on there t2

Haven't had a need for a new fan yet. I was having some overheating issues but as soon as I moved the radiator up on top of the rear deck the problem was solved.

I really didn't have a choice but to move the radiator. In its original position it was getting clogged with alot of grass and debris while riding. Living on the prairie alot of our riding areas are covered with tall grasses, etc ... I'd have to stop and clean off the radiator every 20 minutes or so.

Do you know what the CFM rating is for the fan?

Are you sure you are actually overheating? I thought I had a heating problem until I had the 'fix' done on the temp guage (I think it is listed on this forum somewhere). I run a turbo at 10lbs at Glamis and have never had an issue..... just a thought.

No I don't but it's fast and has ten blades on it I can put my hand in front of the radiator and I can feel the air The brand name is Spal then it says type va08-ap71/ll-53a Lenny I just found this http://spaladvancedt.../67961/30102042 http://www.absoluter...om/SPALConv.asp Here it is for 105.00 I paid 155.00 Universal Parts, Inc.

Thanks for the information Plumber. I'm going to have to go with a better fan too. Good job on the research finding the fan elsewhere.

What kind of tires are you running in the sand. Is Glamis sand real fine or coarse. I'm in southern utah and our dunes are all fine sand, actually a little powdery in places.

Bummer. It was worth a shot.....

(Lenny - I use Dunestar steering tires in the front and paddles (26x10x12) in the rear, works very well. The sand is 'variable' depending on the weather and traffic, but mostly fine on the big dunes and coarser in the valley's. Not too much different than the larger dunes at Coral Pink.)

Randy how do you like that turbo were did you get it at do you use racing fuel

The turbo was the best thing I have done. It more than compensates for the weight that the Trooper hauls around (compared to other UTV's) and it just "waits" in the background until called upon. It engages at arount 2k rpm and really pushes to the rev limit (6k). I use 100 octane race fuel (available at a few stations around here, not too difficult to obtain).

Scott at Unleashed Motor Sports in Cottonwood, AZ did the install over a year ago for $2.5k.

Does your 100 octane race fuel have a blue tint to it? If so, it's probably 100 LL (low lead) aviation fuel. That's what I used in my 100 HP Rotax motor, Rotax said no lead gas and I thought that was I was getting from the gas station sold 100 octane gas, but I finally got them to confess that it was 100LL avgas which has a light blue tint, Quite pretty actually. By coincidence, the Rotax was on the airplane that I crashed in 2006.

Another interesting thing I did once, I put some 130 octane avgas in my 2 stroke dirt bike once, expecting to have fantastic power, NOPE, when ever I tried to rev up, it fell on it's face, but talk about low end grunt, that was fantastic.

During my aviation training, I was taught the the higher to octane, the slower the burn, to prevent detonation and knocking, and when you consider maximum RPM in a piston air plane engine is on around 2500, and they are short stoked huge pistons, it makes sense.

Kinarfi,

Interesting. I stopped using AV gas from the local airport for just that reason (low lead, not unleaded). I will have to look into the Valero I get the 'Race' gas from to verify what it is. I have heard many horror stories of engines being destroyed on AV gas.

Interesting.I thought a few times about the 100 octane in my trooper but was not sure what would happen.I dont have a turbo its just readily available in Lake Havasu because of all the high performance boats on the lake.

Leaded gas will destroy your oxygen sensors.

Lenny

will 100 octane unleaded do any damage? any ideas on replacement 02 sensors? gotta look for some, I was told to replace if they were the japanese made ones and mine are.

      Joyner R2 2008 800cc ECM code reader Lite or OBD port install
      By staind
      Looking for information on installing a OBD port or a lite to read codes in ECM. 
      I can not find a OBD port or a lite to read codes on this R2 with 800cc. 
      I have code readers and adapters for most ATV's. From what I've found so far. They don't have a connection for to read codes. I may be wrong. That's why I'm asking. 
      This R2 has had new IAC, TPS, MAP, fuel pressure regulator and fuel pump replaced. This was done by neighbor to try to stop surging. It still surges on start up and then settles down. But once you hit the accelerator it revs up to 2000+ rpm and stays till you block off IAC port in throttle body with finger. Once you do that it once again settles down and idles perfectly.
      I want to know what the ECM is reading to help dio it.
      This joyner is the first one I've run across. Well second one in a week. (my neighbors 2 of them) The other was a trooper with the 1100cc chery motor that had been setting for years. After cleaning up the fuse box connections. It runs like a top. Had to replace all gages with aftermarket gages. Water, oil, gas, amp. Only problem one was the water temp using original sending unit. Had to install 150 ohm resistor on the input wire to get it to read correctly + - 5 degrees. Close enough. Gas sending unit was/is for a boat tank 6" tall. All SS so it should last forever. 
      thanks Dan D. aka staind

      Help needed, Anyone recognize where this Internally Threaded Bolt belongs?
      By SouthernGypsy
      We have a 2018 Cub Cadet Challenger 400 and I found this Internally Threaded Bolt with a 10mm head size laying in the floor of the shop bay here on our ranch where we park the Cub Cadet.
      Trying to figure out where it belongs...

      sector e1 regen has stopped (mostly) working
      By mark walkom
      the regen braking on my e1 has stopped working unless (for eg) I am going down a hill in low and it's slowing things down to stick to the 10kph limit. when I drive and take my foot off the accelerator it's not initiating the regen to slow things down and instead just coasts at whatever speed it is at, or speeds up as the regen is not limiting it. the brake lights work, so it's probably not a fault with the sensor on the brake pedal
       
      hoping someone else might be able to provide some suggestions on things to check, as the mob that I bought it off seem to have gone silent on me

      Anyone have a Bad Boy Bandit?
      By mac66
      Apparently, these are Hisun or at least they use Hisun engines. I can't find much info on them online yet.  Ran across a used one with just 100 miles on it as a very reasonable price.  Just curious.
      Okay, more info...they are owned by Textron Corp who also owns Bell Helicopter, Cessna & Beechcraft aircraft, Ez-Go & Cushman and Arctic Cat and a bunch of other companies.
      So are thy cheap Chinese crap machines or are they good to go?
