the taurus fans are made to pull air thru the radiator with shrouds to make sure that all of the radiator area is used, why try to reinvent the wheel?
I agree. With a shrouded puller fan you assure that all the air it moves is coming through the radiator. With a pusher fan, especially unshrouded, you leak a lot of cooling airflow. Look at the specs on cooling fans. They are very often rated at a lower CFM as a pusher than as a puller because they are less efficient.
It was good for a 20 horsepower increase on Chevy trucks with the 5.3 to go from a mechanical to an electric fan. Plus it means you can now see the waterpump, belts, and thermostat.
theres no doubht you will make power and gas milage by dropping the fan in my old 6 banger nova beaters,id take them off as i was never idling always on the highway you could feel the difference .but whats the deal with push-pull can you reverse thewiring?I have a couple of fans one is from a cherokee,where do those sit in front I think? THIS IS A GOOD IDEA!
yes the taurus fans are great...so are the lincoln fans...must use a 40 amp relay!!!you are looking for at least 4000 cfm....if you have space...put them ahead of rad....
for sensors go the autometer...they are the premier guage company in the racing aftermarket...they offer the sensors...also flexalite makes an ajustable fan switch...PT# 31147...
Why would you recommend putting them in front of the radiator? They are less efficient there.
I've seen some 40 amp relays die under the use of those fans. The best thing to do is get the relays that came with the fans. Otherwise, 12voltguy.com has some kickass higher draw relays/solenoids.
