-Belt driven fan +Electric Fan(s)
Any comments? I'm wondering if the draw on the battery in a car that needs the power to produce a good sharp spark in a turbo charged (high compression) engine is gonna be a good idea. That and is the load to the alternator really that high. I've heard from two sources, one very reliable and one ont so reliable. The very source says they don't draw that much, the not so source says they do. Thoughts? Kits already out there? Thanks homies.

I removed the fan & clutch from water pump. I cut the fan shroud that was for that fan, leaving the portion for the little fans. I mounted a Hayden 14" electric and used their temp sensor kit w/relay. I followed their directions for mount and hookup. (next time I will use this one for more CFM... http://store.summitracing.com/defaul...=400006+306496) I spliced into the 2 relays for the little fans, and ran a 'rocker' switch to operate them manually when I want (like around town in hot summer with a/c on all the time). I put the switch in place of one of the coin holders on the left side of dash. If you don't have those little fans, then you should get one of those 2 fan setups. Check SummitRacing or JEGS. I never run hot, and I live in the Mojave Desert, Ca. 110* summertime. |

Get a 2 core aluminum radiator from summit or jegs, put a 16 inch fan on it and never worry again about overheating. I did and that is how mine ran in north louisiana, not hot!
