^^appreciate it, i just hooked it up as a pusher for now sicne i didnt see the post before i finished. im not using ac anyways. i hooked mine up to the fuel pump fuse and ran a ground so i dont got to worry about a toggle switch for now. idk if i really like it like that tho when i cut the car off the fan keeps running for a second so the fuel pump kind of starves out for fuel before the car dies. for some reason it seemed to have less power as well? might just have to play with timing or somethin.

 

If anyone is interested i have a 12inch EFan with thermostat controller forsale.. for 60.

I set it up as a puller and it worked good.

Still even has the bracket i made to mount the controler to the Ac drier bolt.

 

I wired mine up to a relay with a jumper that goes to a hot power source when the vehicle is keyed on. Wiring it to a relay is always a good idea, that way you can get the full voltage right from the battery and the signal wire doesn't really pull any amps away from what you're jumpering it from. Jumping a hot lead off of the already over-taxed fuel pump wiring is a bad idea.

I really can't remember the CFM rating on the fan but it seems to pull just as hard as anything else out there.

 

^ +1 Use a relay dont just run it off a fuse like that.

 

yea i thought it wasnt either, i only went with it cause i seen this write up from nico and figured id give it a shot cause the guy said it was working good for him lol well not for me. im gonna hook it up to a switch and relay later this week.

 

for future reference, that was a very dumbass point to try and make. especially the cruising on the highway at 117 mph part. at that speed, the fan is actually pulling less air than what is already flowing over the radiator. Technically, you could turn the fan off and there would be no difference in temp. Many will argue that you don't need a fan after 40 MPH. The main time you need a good one is sitting in rush hour traffic, stop and go for hours. When you don't get much over 10 mph. that is when you will run the hottest. not in 5th gear, with little load, at over 100 mph.

 

Easy there, tiger.

 

yeah ^'re right... that might have been a little on the harsh side....

 

A touch. A fan can help you even at speed if you're close enough to the person in front of you. Think about the good 'ol NASCAR draft thing and airflow...
