And no, it doesn't run at max, but when you can notice a voltage drop just by turning on the headlights, I don't see how a set of good, high CFM fans with a higher draw isn't going to have a greater effect
So what are you considering "done right"
a radiator swap to increase heat exchange to compensate for the lower air flow?
an alternator swap to compensate for the increased electrical load?
harness upgrades to properly handle the increase amperage?
A pulley swap to keep the alternator spinning at more optimum rpm's?
a correct e-fan install should only be the fans, shroud, temp driven controller.
If you can't get the job done, with those parts as good, or better than the stock clutch fan, without sacrificing anything, then it isn't worth it.
If you call fans, shroud, controller a "correct" install, I see that you dont have the ability to grasp the concept, or just want to bias the comparison in an attempt to claim the clutchfan setup is "better"
Knowing that the electric fans are going to draw substantial current, and blatantly ignoring this, shows plenty of ignorance, I bet you've installed stereos in the past, then complained about your lighting, or other stuff, and decided a bigger battery was the answer too, huh ?
Yeah, upgrading the alternator, from the tiny joke, to one that actually puts out extra power, beyond the requirement of the e-fans is just stupid, I mean who would want their car to run better, their upgraded components (lights, stereo, other misc in car add ons) to all work better, just add add add, then bitch about shit not working right because it sucks, not because you failed to do it right.
