i followed the electric fan guide on 240sx.org and wired my stock electric fan to work when the ignition is turned on, cost me absolutely nothing, and i am now rocking an electric radiator fan, quite cool. i would highly recommend anyone with an s14 to follow this guide, that fan shroud is horrendously ugly, and the stock electric fan seems to be more than sufficient to cool the engine.

yes it is, but not enough to cool the engine AND run the a/c.... hence why its a supplimental fan... hope you dont use a/c....

shit... why dont people put shit like that in their faq...

it idled for roughly half an hour with the ac on and it didnt seem to overheat...

maybe its because its cold out?

being cold out is a large part of it. Last year at this temp (it's 48* outside right this second) my KA without thermostat never went above C..... for 4-5 months.

taylor... new theory, i still have the electric fan from the sr that was the radiator fan, what if i wired that up with the other fan. and mounted it to the ac condenser inbetween the radiator and the ac condenser. im thinking i could just splice it into the power wires for the other fan.

on that note. do you happen to know the amperage on the blue and green wires for power. also, should i splice into both to power the fan or just one?

lemme know, i dont wanna overheat, but im not putting that shroud back in, ever.


edit: could i also reverse the fan and mount it to the opposite side of the radiator to achieve the same effect. which do you think would be a better solution?

anybody?

nate, just get a ford taurus fan from the junkyard.
its stronger than you will ever need. and looks nice.
you can check mine out if youd like.

well i have an electric fan i got from taylor a few years ago, im going to mount that to the ac and see if that flows enough. if it doesnt, ive heard nothing but good things about taurus fans on 240s, cophers here i come.

what moddifications doe sthe taurus fan need to fit and run in the s14? I wanna better fan until I upgrade my radiator to a koyo????

you just need to wire it to a very strong relay.
if you direct wire it it will fry youre electrical system, since it pulls a zillion or so amps.
