New electric fan option...

[gixxer750]

won't work...they are three inches too wide, and 1.5 inches too tall....I will find something else. The Fan control temp sensor works nicely though, my electric fans run all the time in town, and none on the highway....

Now to do something about my slipping clutch...

three inches to wide for the stock radiator?

i know there is roughly about 34 inches between the frame. The ultimate question is does it fit in the engine bay at all? If it does. Three inches can be made to fit

 

[gixxer750]

yes, it will fit in the engine bay, but it will hit my hardpipe going through the snorkel hole....I'm going to find a different route

& pics toooooooooooooooo

how much air does the dual electric fans from a 95 ford contour v6 flow? i plan to run those and was just curious since you seem to have found a site to check for that info.

Made by Motormite, a division of Dorman Products. They make lots of fans: http://www.dormanproducts.com/cgi-b...o=100&category_list=1434:100&from_page=search

I'm sending them an email to ask about the CFM right now.

EDIT: sorry William, what I just posted was in reference to the fan Gixxer linked -- I have no idea about the Contour fan.

didn't take any pics.....just held it up and looked. It will fit between the frame rails, but if you have a koyo radiator, it WILL be a tight fit between the fans and your pulleys on the front of the motor....maybe an inch and a half clearance.

Blah!

"We do not have this information on file due to the fact that they are
manufactured for direct OE replacements. I apologize for any
inconvience this has caused. Have a great day!"



So I guess the only way to know for sure would be to measure it ourselves, or possibly find a way to get the CFM rating of the OEM unit that this part replaces.

I still give props to Gixxer for finding something new and interesting to try, though.

I've read that Ford Taurus two speed fans are very good for the Supra. (MK4 guy swears by his setup.)

That being said, everyone who runs the car hard, and runs full AC in traffic with E fans has had problems from what I've read. (Check it out on the MK4 guys.) The stock fan setup with a good fan clutch is pretty much bullet proof, and it's cheap since you already own it.....

Just a thought.

I'd like the E fan(s), but I'm not willing to take the time to develop a setup that will cool the engine in any weather/use.

Ditto!

Those Impala fans suck down a crapload of juice at full honk anyway. They are run @ 3 speeds in the OEM app, controlled by a load manager and powered by an alternator that can output 96A at 600 engine RPM.
