Anyone know where to get really powerful fans for the purpose of using in a dyno? I was up until 4am last night tuning cars on the dyno because I only got a shitty princess auto fan. I had to wait like 5-10 minutes between dyno pulls for temps to normalize. I need something beefy but hopefully not too expensive. I've always found those little turbo looking ones work really well but I don't know where to get them. APH also has a huge industrial fan that's ridiculous.

I think they're called floor dryers? unfortunately they aren't cheap either.

Hmm..Disaster control specialists..like Flood and fire guys..They should be able to tell ya where to get a Big *** fan.,
They use them as a negative air to suck the burn smell out of houses.

 

Think I need something stronger then the plastic ones. I'll have a look once I get back from Goopy.

old furnace fans, cheap or free depending on where you look. They push ALOT of air.

actually i might have some in my shed still, gotta check.

 

Go to a TSC store or a co-op in a farm town. Get a barrel fan that like I use in the barns for the cows. They're a few hundred bucks, but move a bunch of air and are well built.

 

I've heard them called barrel fans or drum fans.

If you can't afford the huge CFM dyno fans another trick you can do to help cool with a smaller fan is to get a cheap garden sprayer or two, pump it up and set it to fine mist at your radiator opening.

 

You need to vent the exhaust out of the bay. Not only does that add extra heat to the room but your going to get stoned off the exhaust fumes. Wait scratch that
