what are some pusher Electric fan options? quiet - efficient

[1986.5supra_kid]

I have a Koyo rad and with my FFIM setup i cant fit the tiny A/C fan on the rad and clear the IC pipe. so i was going to put a pusher on the other side (10'' or so) then make a shroud for the mechanical fan to clear the IC pipe and use all of the rad surface area to funnel to the mechanical fan.

So what are some good quiet efficient pusher fans that are roughly 10'' to 11''?

good quiet efficient

Choose two. If it moves air, it is not quiet.

SPAL fans if you're gonna choose electric fans of any type. They're very expensive yes, but they are the one of the only electric fans (when you have a two 12" fan setup) to flow MORE than the stock clutch fan. A friend of mine has a SPAL setup and they flow 3600CFM and cool his car from 90*C to 80*C in 17 seconds (yes he timed it). Plus numerous car manufacturers use them as OEM equipment, so I'd personally be confident in their reliability.

i think since this will be the secondary fan for A/C ill try using the pusher fan from the automatic model. oem

10" Spal here. Not extremely loud, but I can hear it when it is on if my windows are down, of course noise is subjective. About the biggest one you are going to be able to fit.

i was able to test fit a HAYDEN 12'' fan but the reviews on it were terrible so i didnt keep it.

I wired my a/c fan as a pusher, works very well when i need it in 90+ degrees when my 15" isnt enough.

pushers are a lot less efficient because they create turbulance through the radiator fins instead of behind the radiator (like a puller).
That being said, Zirgo make 3000-3300 and 3600cfm electric fans (I run the 3300cfm in a pulling setup and it is very efficient, coolant never go above 93C at the track on a 1jz 6262).
However, that fan is NOT QUIET.

this would just be used as A/C condensor fan.yes pushers are less efficient but its only for a/c. maybe ill make a shroud just for a puller and mechanical. the puller being the a/c just like stock. its just the stock one wont clear my ffim and IC pipe

I was thinking of wiring up the A/C fan as a pusher too along with the auxiliary puller fans (the small ones) to help my 14" keep things cool. Mind you I'm thinking of switching back to a clutch fan too, which I think might be better overall in terms of simplicity when things break.

the mechanical does drag power but it just seems more reliable imo.

Get a spal fan. There not really even that expensive. Maybe 150 tops. Will flow prolly 1200 cfm which is whT 2 fal fans flow.

 

[jetjock]

Because you want the thermostat to close and restrict flow...

not sure what statement you are responding too.

hmmm. well a new toyota WP is already ordered. In the mean time I'm going to install the 2 core koyo rad and new toyota coolant. Also thought since the electric puller fan for a/c condensor wont fit with current setup that i would block off its opening in shroud and add a pusher fan. what are your thoughts on this?

I had already test fitted it. (local auto parts carries it) It didnt take much to fit. just bent the low side tube for a/c to make space on condensor for fan. i would wire it up to excisting condensor fan circuit seeing as the circuit has a 40amp fuse this 8amp fan will be fine.



There is only a fraction of space for the factory puller fan to operate (Was a 7mge-w58) so only one electric fan.

the stock fan is the best you can do, fix your intercooler so you can use it

 

[1986.5supra_kid]

That means making a new intake manifold. and relocating battery. But if that's what has to be done.

having a huge temp drop is not a good thing also.

BALANCE.

You want the T-stat to do its job. You want the fan to do its JOB. Both are a part of a system.

Have a fan that can drop temps 100 degrees in 1 second does no one to include the engine ANY good.
