I know, 6 year thread bump, yadayada, but

Just to clarify- a turbo shroud will NOT fit an NA radiator. It's too tall. If anybody reads this and wants to upgrade to 6 blade fans, if you use the whole assembly, use a late NA one, not a turbo.

i'm not sure if the shroud/fans i bought were na or turbo but they bolted right up to the '84na & had no rubbing of lower hose issues & fans stayed on after engine shutoff, just like the later models.

i'd forgotten about this thread & actually traded away the 951 in '09.

Just noticed you're in phoenix

Still in the 944 game?

bearone

nope, sold the 951 in '09.

Butters944

Aww buy another!

bearone

probably not, i'm doing a 2000 sl mercedes nowdays.

BTW this is what happens when you use 6 blade on an early car without trimming blades or using late cooling hose...



Edit: Is now coated with many layers of liquid electrical tape until I get a new hose

bearone

no it isn't, read my previous post. might happen on some but not all.

Here's my theory:

-If you use late n/a ASSEMBLY in early car, no issues whatsoever.

-If you use late FANS in EARLY assembly, there will be rubbing on coolant hose.

-You CAN'T use a turbo assembly on an n/a, but you CAN use the fans.

it's ez to see when putting the bottom bolt on the right side if it's going to rub.

i've got 3 late clusters if you're interested + a bunch of switches out of an '87 944S if interested.
