This weekend I pulled my coupe out to begin some interior work and I decided to wash it before I started. While I was washing it (left it running because it hadn't been started in a few weeks) my radiator started leaking from several pin holes. So, now in addition to interior work I get the chance to upgrade the cooling system. In all honesty, I'm excited to be able to update the radiator and fan. I have read through several post on here and I was planning on going with the following electrical fan setup:
Fan: SPAL MediumProfile Series -1516
16" Cooling Fan
Straight Blade - Pull
Specifications:
A: Length 16.3"
B: Depth 2.48"
C: Width 15.75"
CFM: 1604
Radiator: Should I go with a 2 or 3 row radiator? I was thinking about going with a 3 row. What are the pros and cons of going with either? I know the 2 Row will give me more room between the fan and the engine pulley, but is that the only benefit? What are the Cons of going with a 2 Row?
I was thinking about going with a Champion Aluminum Radiator, either part # EC259 (@ Row) or #CC259 (3 Row)
Thermostat Relay Kit: Relay185 Single-LF
Is the relay kit from Champion with the 185*/170* operating temp optimal for I6's?
Thanks for any help and I apologize if I'm asking beginner questions.
