electric fans

stfudvs · February 19th, 2009, 10:07 PM

whats the positives
how do they work

C MY 4D · February 19th, 2009, 10:10 PM

-No parasitic loss
-ability to turn it on when the vehicle is off (great way to cool it off at the track)

Your best bet is to buy one from a 4.6. Factory>aftermarket

taurus fan FTW, besides the obvious it gets rid of that fucking hurricane noise when you get above 3k rpms

Burn'nRubber · February 19th, 2009, 11:17 PM

What year Taurus are we talking?

superbean · February 19th, 2009, 11:44 PM

Nissan altima/ Ford taurus fans. Try to find and early-mid 90's model. I have the altima fans on my 240sx, work great. have a high and low setting

C MY 4D · February 19th, 2009, 11:47 PM

It doesn't really matter what kind of car you pull the fans from. But just remember the car that has the bigger motor the electric fan usually pulls more CFM.

superbean · February 19th, 2009, 11:52 PM

and please.. when you wire it up, dont wire it up to a simple toggle switch, use a relay.. 30 amps will melt wires if your not careful

And switches and dashes and sometimes if you're lucky whole cars

Traidmarx · February 19th, 2009, 11:57 PM

if you want a set of the fans to put on i have a set of duel electric fans that should bolt right up. you can have them if you pay the shipping.

blakehunter316 · February 20th, 2009, 12:18 AM

I'll take them if he don't how much is shipping? what are they off of ?

Traidmarx · February 20th, 2009, 12:22 AM

i dunno i'll have to check into the shipping, if its under 20 bucks i'll pay for the shipping to just to get them gone, they came off of an 88 turbo coupe.

Pm'd u

e3sean · February 20th, 2009, 01:31 AM

yes if you get an electric fan make sure u use the right gauge wire to do so and use a relay pref a 40amp you can get a relay from radio shack for less then 5 bucks. easy to wire up. only use a connector to the relay dont use a butt connector or electric tape solder any wires you have to tap into.

cburns · February 20th, 2009, 03:11 AM

Mustangmotorsport - Mustangs and a whole lot more! this site has a great write up to control the fan with a temp switch that I am currently installing now. I also found the next site listed below as a great write on how to install the taurus fan on the radiator. I used the set up to control fan from 1st post and mounting fan from second post.

Hope this helps. I'll have pics of mine soon to post should be all done this weekend.

chickenbot · February 20th, 2009, 04:33 AM

330CubeGt · February 20th, 2009, 06:11 AM

flyin ryan · February 20th, 2009, 10:48 AM

Here's the one I use

Allstar Performance

have also used a taurus fan as well

hopper · February 20th, 2009, 11:17 AM

for a wireing kit, check out on cj pony parts, or late model retoration. there is everything you need in a nice kite for like $50.
I personally do not like the sensor that sticks into the rad like a meat thermometer.

93hatch · February 20th, 2009, 12:04 PM

whys eveyone so pro temp switch and toggle switch? just run that bitch always on like mine

needpushrod · February 20th, 2009, 01:48 PM

the only thing about an electric fan is that is pulls juice from the battery whch makes the alternator work harder, and the alternator is a shit load harder to turn than the stock mechanical fan
