ALWAYS pull thru...in accordance with the flow of air from outside.

[CHarris]

Two Words....

KICK ASS!! The truck is completely different and much more FUN now isn't it?


Now that that is out of the way.... First question- Which fans are those and how did they wire them up? I'm guessing that they are the flexalite fans and they used the fan wiring kit from flexalite as well. Is this correct?
Second question- Where did you get the shorty antenna and how much did it cost you?

What flexalite fans model number did use?

Fubar, do you have any leaks from the coolant or anti-freeze?

[Fubar]

Ken, thanks... The fans are inside the engine bay, like the flex-a-lites were. The dealership has everthing pretty well tie strapped and contained within loom. I'll see if they'll admit first to doing it backwards then ask if they'll fix the blunder. If no is the answer I'll just have see if it's something I can find and fix. The whole thing has been tied into the factory wiring loom, there is no telling where they got power from.

I'm happy to see or hear that you made it home from Moab without further problems.

What are the HP/TQ for Maga Charger install on stock 2005 H2 SUV? Is it best to put some miles on a new engine before installing the supercharger? Thanks.

[Fubar]

Had one on the driver side of the intercooler but it seams to be fixed. The dealership replaced the fitting and put on a couple hose clamps. Funny thing after there first attempt this fix still leaked. I went out to the garage one night and saw a small amount dripping. I ended up giving the hose clam about 3/4 turn tighter and this seams to have fixed the problem. I'm going to see about getting braded steal lines but I know the fitting will need to be changed. Right now it's been about a few days and there are no leaks.

welcome to the forced induction family!

[Fubar]

Quick question,

The fans are they supposed to blow out or pull air in threw the radiator?

I ask because I think the dealership that installed them for me might have wiried them backwards as they currently blow air thew the radiator.

[H2BRUTE]

Nice install. I'm thinking of it as well. Got any comments as to performance, problems, etc..Thanks

[KenP]

That's correct, your fans are inside the radiator and should be pulling the air. If the fans were on the grill side of the radiator they would be pusher fans.

It's probably nothing more than reversing the +/- wires.

I never had an issue with AC but I have heard of people claiming that there AC was not running cold. I suspect that doing anything to make the engine work easier would help the other various engine systems.

Headers: It's a personal choice you need to make.

I can tell you that from the research I've done the various coatings like "Ceramic" and there are others but these coatings allow the headers to dissipate more heat than the stock manifold. I have spoken with several people I know and trust that build motors and they have all said the same thing that headers, one allow the engine to breath better than stock manifolds and two handle heat dissipation better. Yet I still seam to have had a heat issue with a plastic part located near the headers. I don't know if I would have had the same problem with the stock manifold. From what these engine builders are telling me I suspect the answer is yes. You can't put a piece of plastic containing electronics near a heat source and expect to to function for long.

My advice since you are having your dealer do the install which is great in my opinion and the way to go would be to leave the headers off.

Chances are unless you tow something you're not going to see the gains. Do I believe that coated headers dissipate more heat than the stock manifold? Yes. Do I think that it makes much difference? A difference that you can feel? No. But since I didn't do my modifications in stages I don't have a point of reference to base those opinions on. I changed everything out all at once shortly after purchasing the H2. I didn’t have much time develop much of an opinion on the stock H2 other than I hated driving from here to Ca and dealing with the constant surge the motor and or trans was making while going up hills because the H2 in it’s stock from is under powered for its weight.

[Fubar]

Your least favorite place, Towbin.
They have had there entire staff changed out and they seam to have a new helpful, what can we do to help or what can we do to earn your business attitude. Both sales and Service have seen there entire staff changed out. Amazingly they offered one extra year on top of the one offered by Magna Charger to take effect or go into effect once the Magna Charger one has expired. So I guess I'm getting a 4yr warranty.

[LasVegas]

Nice looking install. Who did it for you here in Vegas?

[Fubar]

Ken,
Thanks. I live in the desert and the only off-roading I've done is in Moab. Neither place has much water to worry about.

If I can't get the fans I have to stabilize and function correctly I will look into the fans you suggest.

I believe Felx-a-lite has also come out with a series of fans with a connecting ring for the blades. I don't know if they have an application with that config that will work with the H2.

Thanks again.

[Fubar]

Thanks, I do love the improvements and it is such a clean install.

Yes the fans are from flexalite. As for the wiring I assume they used there kit but they also built and mounted it all on what I assume is a custom bracket. (see the picture).

I will have to ask about the shorty antenna. I don't know really. I asked the dealer as I was about to leave if they had them and he came out with what you see and simply put it on. (no charge)I guess after you spend as much money as I have with the dealer you get a few perks
