Hey all....i just discovered a mountain of electric fans in my uncles garage store room.....now i can grab any one(or more) of these for free....i was wondering what would be good to put on my car? like what would u guys recommend on the specs (diameter and rpm and stuff)

thanx,
Gufran

P.S: if there is a specific fan anyone would recommend from a certain car please tell me i might have it! thanx again

 

i recommend the clutch fan

 

 

as long as it's a low-profile e-fan, you're good to go.

here's a pic of mine.. it's from a late 90's Probe. Note- I have since removed the outer pulley on my car, but there was still plenty of room. Especially because when it is on, it sucks itself toward the radiator.

 

I have also ran the wires through chafe wrapping since then as well... no home comp or digi cam any more.

 

i just hope anything i choose wont have an impact on my battery....like i dont want it draining the battery off

 

set it up so that it can only come on when the ignition is on, and set up either a temp switch or a toggle switch inside. I opted for the toggle switch.

 

YAh gots pics of the fans you got for free???




Peace-

 

Taurus fan is a very close to perfect fit. Clutch fans SUCK. Go electric, wire it CORRECTLY, and you will love it.

 

if your clutch fan sucks, it's probably beause it took a ****. a correctly working clutch fan is perfect.

 

I have always thought of going the e-fan route. But my car is a well preserved all original car and I hate meeing with it. Although I dislike the idea of parasitic loss of power with the cluch fan I think in my case its wise to stay with an original set up.

 

If you've taken yours off, you know how heavy it is. An electric takes weight off the motor.

 

is there some kind of thermostat switch available that i can wire up to make the fan work at a certain temp and stuff?

 

yeah i think the thermostat ones just go faster for higher temps. my mates keeps going after the ignition is off until its cooled to a certain temp.

 

Dude I have a flexilite fan on my SE it works awesome it comes with its own thermostat and relays made on to the unit 3 wires to run power ground & AC one of the best mods I have done. Clutch fans do suck NOISY and POWER robbing Good Luck

 

i had an electric fan and it was a POS, drianed my battery like a champ and my car was running very hot.

Clutch fan all the way here!

 

Man I love my electric fan. My temp guage never even gets up to half.

 

mines never been above a quarter with the clutch, dunno whatd it be like with electric

 

e-fan all the way but do it right. do a global search here and find out how. its been posted lots of times.

 

ok....thanx for all the info....im gonna take all these fans and put them side by side....take the biggest ones....see if i can find the specs on them...and then hook them up and feel which one is the coolest !

later,
Gufran

 

I like the clutch too, if it is working right it will be disengaged most of the time and won't affect power at all.

 

Hey Gulfran, I could use a couple electrics.

Would you consider selling the extras?
