so spring is almost here and i am planning to put a electric fan on my car. but i am looking for a good set up. i don't know if i should get a single or duel fan.

anyone who has a good set up that is working for them let me know.

(last summer i had a autozone fan on it and i went through 3 of them..they all burnt out..)

 

flex-a-lite black magic. quite a few people using it to good success including me.

 

where can you get one of them,

how much?

is it single or dual?

is it universal or designed for our car?

sorry for all the questions...

 

the black magic is single fan, is a universal fan u can try here:

around $200

single

universal

even if you don't buy this one..make sure you follow the how-to in the faq and get one that flows more than 2500cfm

 

oops..he beat me to it

 

I read in some place that the Pontiac Fiero V6 electric fan fits perfectly. I saw the photos and you need to do some homemade "J" brackets.

 

yep... http://www.rotaryresurrection.com/ro...ectricfan.html

 

go to summit racing, it has free shipping. I love my flex-a-lite black magic fan.

its really simple to install as well, you dont need a separte relay everything is built in.

ive got it working two ways, one through microtech into the manual switch, then also by its own internal temp switch.

 

Another flex a lite user for almost 10 years without a problem I just installed a proform fan on my father's SA. It seems to be the very same one as the flex a lite black magic, but without the price tag.

I heard that some ppl use a ford taurus efan. Sorry to jack thread but I was wondering what year.

 

91-96 Ford Escorts work great. and cheap at the junk yard.

 

^ i bought mine off kevin landers a year ago, 15$ in wiring stuff, I had an awesome fan that sucked down the juice on my s4. lol

 

what type of thermostat should I get? I heard autozone has one.

 

You need to do the FD alt. upgrade and you won't have any problems.

 

I dont' have the car anymore, the s5 is more than enough.

Black Magic Extreme, 3,300Cfm and it has a shroud that covers the whole radiator unlike the black magic 150. More expensive but obviously better.

*edit*
Oh yeah I forgot to mention that flex-a-olite thermostats are crappy. Mine was burnt out by the installer. HOWEVER, after calling flex-a-lite and explaining what happened they asked me to fax them my original receipt for the fan and they would send me a new thermostat. They sent me their new thermostat design that they don't even sell yet and it works like a charm.

 

Beat me too it aaron, I was about to post a link to your site. Also, don't use aftermarket thermostats, only Mazda OEM ones.

 

Some of those high CFM fans pull alot more amps. Try to find a fan that will use under 10 amps while running. Some fans will use about 15amps while running. This will only load up your alternator.

You could throw in a S5 alt for less $$.

 

Another option is the Permacool 16 inch fan.
It's lovely nickname is the Fingerchopper because it is an unshrouded and metal fan bladed.

It flows a bit more cfm than the Blackmagic BUT you'll need to make a shroud for it.

I bought mine for around $100 then bought the Black magic thermoswitch for $20.

I've yet to install it though. I have also heard that the thermoswitches are not great(my friends blew under 3 months)

 

can someone give me a factor to come from CFM to m³/hour or m³/minute?

pls guys, i only find **** with google

 

well i checked some more sites on fans, i think i'm gonna go with the b-magic kit.

does that fan pull 10amps or more?

 

Again, if you are going with the black magic fan; you might want to look at the proform one:

compare it against the black magic flex a lite, and the only difference you will find is on the price!!
