Evolution One Complete Cooling System
The Evolution One cooling system is a complete cooling solution for your aircooled VW Type 1 engine. It comes with an all new design fan shroud that has balanced airflow between both sides of engine, e.g. the same amount of airflow is provided to cylinders 1 & 2, and to cylinders 3 & 4. The airflow is also divided appropriately between the cylinder heads and cylinder, where approximately 65% of the airflow goes to the cylinder heads and 35% goes to the cylinders.
It comes with straight radial blade centrifugal fan that is 73% lighter than a welded OEM fan. The weight savings provides for increased throttle response that is very noticeable, just like a lightweight flywheel, as it takes less horsepower to change the speed of the fan (not less horsepower overall, as the amount of air being moved dominates the power requirements of any fan)!
The overall cooling system flows some 61% more air than an OEM Doghouse fan shroud, making this cooling system a game changer for keeping your engine cool regardless of your engine combination and the ambient air temperatures. For many, it wil enable them to change gearing to run taller gears on the highway and still get proper cooling (e.g. with a stock cooling system the engine needs to be at 3,200 RPM at 65 mph to keep the engine cool). It could also enable the use of dry sump oiling systems because the smaller crankshaft pulley required to clear the pump won't diminish cooling capacity to the point that you now have an overheating condition. Lot's of interesting possibilities with engine combinations, but still keep the engine running cool. Cool running engines last longer!
As a complete system, the following are provided:
- Brand new hand fabricated fan shroud
- Evolution One lightweight cooling fan
- Comes with an improved mounting system
- Silicone seals for the throttle tube on both sides of the fan shroud (like OEM Doghouse)
- Oil cooler block-off (comes with proper mounting studs and OEM oil cooler seals)
- Optional support for the Gene Berg Throttle linkage
- Optional support for the stock coil bracket, in the stock location
Fan shroud comes as bare metal, and can be powder coated or painted to suit your desires and needs.
