Hi all, my first post. I'm a Dad of 4 children, and we are like most of us, struggling to keep up with the rising prices of fuel. To carry the 6 of us, my wife and I, bought a Nissan Serena, a 94 2L model, the top one on this page
Nissan Serena - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Its a thirsty vehicle, it has an SR20 engine. I have removed the spare wheel and I check the tires regularly. The engine is mounted beneath the front seeds, and the radiator upfront, has 2 electric fans and an engine fan beneath the engine. It has no top, vents above the bonnet, only slots at the front of the radiator. The air intake pipe snakes down with 2 90deg bents and a diagonal piece down from above the radiator to the front axle area. A small shovel shaped scoop, directs air from beneath the front of the car, up towards the engine. Obviously, this car has a tough time keeping cool. What can be done? Could you provide ideas, and if possible, link me to the right Forum and any discussions in previous threads. I normally build Loudspeaker cabs as a hobby, I do car maintenance, and my level of skill, I've done clutch changes on front wheel drive vehicles, and used to run my diesel with a veg oil mix. I'm keen to learn.
Thanks Mike
