    Z31 Electric Fans

    Just wanted to know if any of our members have used this new electric fan kit for our z31's that I came accross on ebay. It is made by FF Dynamics and the seller is spikedcollardogs, here is the link
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NISSAN-3 … 19b7cfc80d if it is of any help to any of you. The price is a little on the highside but what caught my attention was the lifetime warranty.

    Thanks,
    Cesar

    They claim it draws 10 amps… does that sound low?

    I have two 12" flex a lite, 9 amps each: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/FLX-112/

    They let the car get hot during emissions testing. I need to build a shroud. They only flow 1,100 CFM each.

    I should have gotten two of these: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/PRM-19122/?rtype=10

    Same price.

    It is not recommended to confirm proper installation by driving into walls or other barriers as this could cause personal injury or damage to the vehicle.

    Curved blades aren't going to flow that much.

    CFM has less effect on cooling than coverage. 10A does seem a bit low but it all depends on how the motor is wound. It may turn slower due to higher resistance and thus pull less current.

    I got my electric fan from Summit. Its a 16" Proform with 2100 or 2300 cfm I believe. Draws about 8-9 amps, and cost about $90. Does its job just fine.

    Rather expensive considering the other options out there.

    Maxima fan conversion? I doubt you will have to replace it more than 2 or 3 times in the life of your car and at $15-20 a piece at a junk yard you can't beat that price.

    I paid jsut as much for my flex-a-lite dual fan setup. Rather have my setup. It may draw a bit more amps, but it cools better and it isnt on 24-7 and my alternator is a maxima one so im not worried about current draw.

    Mine are lower profile than those and have a shroud built on thats rubber

    I also got a module that will turn it on only at 60 percent of power but if the temp increases 10 degrees from that point it goes 100 percent.

    Its very similar to this one

    but its cheaper than that.

    Resurrected this thread for this:

    1999 Mercury Cougar E-fan. Close to perfect fit between the end tanks, would only requires some simple L brackets to mount to stock locations.



    This one has a chip missing on the bottom where i dropped it. I haven't tested it yet.
