with all the debate around E-fans I thought I would post up my setup.
It started when my first shroud broke, then my IC pipe would not allow the condenser fans to be in place. So it was over heating with a stock 7mge rad, good shroud, no condenser fans, with A/C on in traffic, new good clutch fan.
I have had problems with electric fans before. I was skeptical because of the short coming in previous cars that I had flex-A-lite setups on. The problem was always the low cfm, and the amp draw.
After I got home from the junk yard I powered this fan up and was
impressed with the massive cfm (cfm unknown to me) and level of noise it made even though that is irrelevant for cooling purposes it was still cool.
1998 Ford Taurus or Mercury Sable with the 3.8L E-fan $15 used
Honda fan coolant switch or a aftermarket heat switch
relays
cut some of the plastic down to fit flush on rad
had no black tape had to use green for now
This fan seems to move way more air than the clutch fan ever did at idle. I have had no heat related problems after the install of the E-fan. For me the E-fan worked wonders and saved me from over heating in traffic. Wile driving over 30mph the fan never comes on.
