Is there one on this site? I searched the archive and the regular forum and got several topics, but no how-to's. Is it pretty straight forward? My brother located one in our junkyard, and I want to put it in my 88 SE. Thanks!

 

Theres a few ways to do it... Im running a taurus efan on my 88Gtxl-2.

You can run power to it, from the fuses box, then put the ground on a switch, and controll it manually. Or you can buy a temp switch kit from autozone. That is what i did, and it works hella sick.

 

on the temp switch, where do you install it so the fan comes on correctly?

 

You dont really need a temp switch, think about it. The stock clutch fan is on permanently anyway: not counting whatever specific RPM it disengages at anyway.

 

i actually i just installed mine today and all i did was hookup the ground to the chassis and the hot to a relay and used my megasquirt to turn the fan on at a sertain temp but u can install a electric temp unit from autozone or advance auto parts and install the thermal unit on the radiator and its also adjustable

 

Im using 2 integra e-fans on the car im putting together. Im just gonna hook them up to soem switched in the car and turn them on when I get it, it might be more practical to have a temp switch if its a street car though.

 

Not Escort-specific, but that shouldn't matter.

NEVER power an e-fan from the fuse box. They should only ever be powered directly from the battery via a fuse and relay. A manual switch is also pretty dumb. One day you will forget to turn it on.

There's always at least on in every e-fan thread...

The thermoclutch fan is not "on permanently", it's is engaged and disengaged based on the temp of the air off the radiator, so it's only used when needed. Running an e-fan constantly is pointless and stupid. Can you think of one car with a stock e-fan that doesn't operate thermostatically?
