Nothing is wrong with an electric fan when it is done correctly. FWD cars survive with them successfully so why is a RWD car different other than operator error?

Give the e-fan hate a break. Its getting old and showing how jaded you are.

Hopefully the keywords there are "piece of shit" because electric fans are a much better solution than the stock manual garbage, the key is using quality shit and proper wiring.

I'll stick to having my LS1 pcm control things, triple relays for high/low series/parallel dual electric fans FTMFW.

Thank you. And for the love of god it doesn't even take redundant relays.

Like having a cracked stock fan with a shot clutch is the end all, be all of cooling technology. Gimme a break. I'm oldshool but moved past a flex fan.

Go ahead and run the joke that altima fans are.

I've been eyeballing these for a while, would have gotten them a while ago, but the set I wanted was on backorder for a while, i'll check again soon.

HIgh Output Dual RAD Fans

4000 cfm, and no thats not some joke ass flexalite number, fal's draw what 15A ? 12A for both fans yet claim to flow 2500cfm ?

I'll go with something drawing more current each, than both fals combined.

It's pretty simple really. You just have to take a few things as givens. First, clutch fans move an assfuckton of air; probably in the 4000cfm range at their peak load. Second, to get a quality electric setup costs real money. Even if you use Altima fans (which will flow enough), you need a minimum of 2x 40A relays, 10ga wire, and a controller to do it right. Third, theres a lot of power involved. Those Derale, a Taurus fan on high, twin Altimas on high, they all pull over 50A while flowing similar cfm to a clutch fan. That's a lot of load on an alternator that only can generate 70A of current. Plus, your relays/wires need to be overrated as the surge current from switching a motor load can be double the normal current. Yeah, you can control when the e-fans are on, and hence when they're drawing power. But, nothing is free, and that power is getting used.

Short version: yeah, you can do electrics right, but you have to know what you're doing. And to do it right and cheap requires some real knowledge.
