Question regarding e-fan for Fluidyne rad
Question regarding e-fan for Fluidyne rad
Howz it goin guyz?
Its been a long time since I posted on here.....this should probably be in the 2nd Gen specific forum, but I always like to get the local advice first!!
Anyway, I've got a fluidyne rad in my S5 FC 410 RWHP and I'm looking for a shrouded e-fan that will fit with relative ease. The fan I have on there right now doesn't have a shroud and to be honest, I'm not sure where it even came from (long story). Previuosly I had it wired to the battery with a switch (supposed to be temporary), but the switch recently broke so it appears the time has come to do this properly!! The fan operation will be controlled by my haltch, so I'm not concerned about getting a fan with a thermo sensor or anything like that. Just something that can keep the car cool and any info on local purchasing (T.O. prefered).
Thanks for the help!!

Assuming the height and width of your Fluidyne is similar to my Koyo N-Flo (and being a stock replacement, they should be) I used a Ford Taurus 3.8L e-fan on my car.
Fits pretty darn close, moves a ton of air, and got it from a salvage yard for $20.

I run a mercury mystique/ford contour dual fan setup. Minor trimming was required but it covers the whole rad minus about 3/4" on the bottom. Works well and I like the idea of having two fans just in case.
Matter of fact, this fan has been the most reliable thing I've installed on my turd
