    Why the obsession with electric fans?

    This is one of those situations that can really open " a box of worms" . I think most electric fans will move more air than an HD fan ......... AT IDLE. Mechanical fans move A TON of air no doubt about it, but they need that engine RPM to get them moving. MOST over heating problem are at idle...

    Cooling fan

    I think a google search on that subject would give you more accurate info. You can probably find wind tunnel or other lab tested results. My bet is more blades , more air.

    Large fan no shroud or small fan and shroud?

    I don't get why people running a 195* stat are confused when their car runs in the low 200s 195 is when the stat STARTs to open. If it stays at 215 I would say things are pretty normal for those conditions . If your looking to lower things, why not put in 180* I think most will agree any...

    Correct water pump

    Well got everything hooked up and installed. Fired it up and let the rad burb itself. The fans kicked on at 187 according to my inferred gun pointed right at the temp switch. They stayed on for about 3 mins before they shut off. Another 5 mins and the fans cycled again. Took it out for a drive...

    Electric fan temp. Switch

    I'm going to switch to electric fans on my 440. I want to turn the fans on with a simple thermo switch/ sensor . Most of the ones I see are 185 on 175 off or 210 on 185 off. With the 185 on, that's fine, but then it would never shut off if I am running a 180 thermostat correct ? The...

    Block Flush, Need Advice

    Think you might be surprised when you try the inferred thermometer . I chased a problem very similar to your . My gauge all of a sudden would tell me it's running at 220 all the time . But I take a IR gun point it right at the housing and it was bang on 180 , got up to 190 once when I checking...
