    Thank you both!

    I look forward to the list. I have collected some parts to put the cooler in, but not everything. I want to get all the small stuff in one order, otherwise I'll end up losing stuff.

    Here's my spreadsheet.

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...t?usp=drivesdk

    I did not include the oil cooler duct up with the numbers for everything else because I didn't need it. I'm not 100%, but I'm pretty sure you'd need a different aux fan to run the oil cooler duct, too. I didn't do any of that because I WANTED my aux fan (and the engine-side shroud too, for that matter) blowing (or sucking) through the oil cooler.

    I have been surprised to find how hot my oil has gotten the last week or two while I've had the new ducting in place. It almost completely blocks any kind of air flow to the oil pan, so it makes sense. I'll install the oil cooler Monday or Tuesday, so that should be short-lived.

    Awesome, thank you.

    I was actually drilling into this today, and thought I was in good shape until I hit the fan shroud wall- I need the US shroud to support the expansion tank, because I’m not running the Euro tank.

    But I hadn’t considered the aux fan change at all… I suppose the Euro aux fan is needed out front. And even though my engine fan is fine (just replaced the clutch) I’m going to get the Euro fan with the outer ring on it.

    What outer ring? Euro fan has no outer ring.

    Probably 11522243303. This is what I am using for the engine fan.

    Correct. Evo’s don’t use that. They’re using the fan for diesel cars.

    That comes up as 7 blade. The Evo is 11 blade, though I'd swear mine had 9 and I had it off recently, but of course no picture.

    Anyways, same fan is listed for S52. Unless they want less blades for less engine drag?

    Yes I meant the diesel fan. The ring should limit tip deflection so it probably moves less air at low rpm but more at high rpm, because the unsupported blades flatten out.

    They do the same in jet engines- larger blades have mid-span stiffeners that bear on one another to keep the blades from flattening and losing compression.

    I was just looking at this today and I’ll probably keep what I have. Might even be the same part number (11 blades). Always an odd number of blades so it doesn’t drone.
