<VV> Air vs Water HP

[BBRT]

Uses a corvair pulley on the fan and a Moroso aluminum pulley a bit larger -I don't know the size off hand- on the balancer.  Maybe about 5" in diameter?  Smaller than the 6" balancer (Fluidamper).

  Hmmm... most interesting. By the way, what ratio is this fan driven?

    John, I rarely disagree with you. However, you have given me the 
    opportunity.  Your use of "during the run" implies drag racing or 
    autocrossing, which are of short duration. The 89 uses a vertical fan assy. 
    utilizing an Austin plastic fan. As you may be aware, the car was 
    competitively raced both SCCA Nationally and vintage more recently.  This 
    car has raced in very hot weather - road racing - without overheating.  And 
    the car has a very high HP output for a  normally aspirated Corvair.  Most 
    who use the fan system state the car will overheat in just the opposite 
    condition; idling, slow multiple pace laps or on the grid.

    This topic should be on Fastvair, IMHO.
