what kinds of e-fans are you guys using?
I am looking to fit a 2nd gen radiator into
my RX2 so i want to buy a e-fan that gonna fit
that size correctly. let me know what you guys have
and how you like it. and pics are always good.
Thanks matt22

 

im using a fierro fan and love it, it will actually wedge between the two end tanks so you only need 2 zip ties at the top to hold it flush.

 

E-fan from ford escort.

i know those also go into installing, which may also help, but they also mention a couple of possible fans to use and why.

 

hmm, that has me wondering. can i use an aftermarket radiator while retaining the stock fan? more specific; a koyo radiator with an s5 fan, will it fit ok?

 

ya i guess i should jsut go the cheap route.

 

i have an S5 with a Koyo radiator; stock clutch fan and shroud.

 

^ phew, i was worried for a sec that i was going to have fan blade clearing issues. after reading Kevin's write-up, an Efan won't make THAT much of an improvement over the stock fan, however an aftermarket radiator will make a drastic change to how hot the car will run. so for now i figure i'll stick with the oem fan, the new radiator should be plenty (car never goes over 1/2 anyways, and 1/2 is only when it's been idling in traffic for 10 minutes in those crazy hot FL days).

thanks Casio.

 

I use a 16" perma-cool "finger chopper" (ala no guard on it) it pulls about 2900cfm and works like a champ. Fit's perfect.

16'' mr gasket fan works really well.2000 cfm, 11.4 amps

 

same as west TX
hey west pm me on how you set that up

 

Yes, if would not mind PM'ing me with the same info that would be great.

-Thanks, Andrew

 

so west you dont use a shroud with that?

 

No fan shroud. I had one on but it keeps it cooler without a shroud. I know it sounds weird but I guess it's the way they designed it.

I have the fan going to a relay and use my E6K to control it. It's an accessory wire (I can give you exact name of the wire and the setting tab I used on the haltech program when I get a chance to look at it, the car is in Dallas at the moment getting some clutch work and tuning done, I can tell you the tab tomorrow when I get a chance to look at the haltech program on my laptop). Anyway I have the Haltech set to turn the fan on at 190 and shut it off at 185. I used the thermostat switch and controller from permacool (a seperate part) but it didn't work very well for me, I had a bad relay though i found out after I switched it over to the haltech so that may have been the problem before I switched from the permacool thermostat and switch.

 

finger chopper.....that thing looks scary, and add on the fact no shroud. PICS!!

 

me and a few of other fc owners i know all use the flex-a-lite black magic 150 without any problems.

 

I use 2 x Spalfans on a custom radiator. They are mounted directly
on the rad with a plate as shroud, as seen in the picture.

 

^nice^

 

I am having the same problem with the switch as west TX did so got to figure something else out.
Molehill-your car looks REALLY clean in that pic- nice setup

 

Thanks guys! I´ll post some more engine bay pics, when I´v finished with
the IC piping and the turbo switch... The pipes goes over the rad.

thats wat im so scared of is the wiring part cus i dont know how to wire it in or wat i got a feiro gt e-fan
but i dont know how to wire it in im afraid il burn sumthing up

 

I had a Fiero efan in my car and it could not keep up once I moved down here. Temps were always between 195 and 210 just normal driving without AC on. I put the stock fan and shroud back in and now my temps stay between 150 and 180, AC on or not. I won't ever use an efan again.

P.S.- I used the Painless Wiring Electric Fan Controller....very easy to install and works great!

 

I use an escort e-fan. Used to have it set up through a probe for a thermostat to have it turn on at about 190 but it was working extremely shitty and I didn't want my car to overheat (got iffy a couple times, this was all before the rebuild too btw), so I just have it set up to be on all the time. Temps stay around 178ish to 185 all the time measured by an electrical water temp gauge at the block.

 

i'll stick with the stockfan and in the futucher maby use liquid nitrogin <--- ya i cant spell

 

They only problem ive had with my fierro fan is the damn thermal probe in the rad kinda sux,.. i have to have it turn on at like 160 while idleing to have it come on at like 185 when the car is moving,..
