NewTimer Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Wasn't sure if I should post this here or electric section. But! I going about cleaning up engine bay area and the big ol stock fan shout is too bulky. So electric fan(s) are great solutions. Has anyone heard of Zirgo Ultra High Performance? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/hfm-zfu16s here is the link for summit racing. Claims to pull 3,630 cfm which is plenty for my mild 350 which has an aluminum radiator as well. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I would be very cautious about any electric fan that claims 3,000 cfm on a 20A fuse... The Mark VIII fan in my Monte would eat a 20A fuse for breakfast when it kicks on and it's rated 3,500 cfm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam (Bones) Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 if using aftermarket fans, spend money for good ones junk yard stock fans is the way to go, check the other thread here for what Bob used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andreas Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Here is the Mark VIII in my Monte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallaby Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I have the Mk VIII in mine as well. The V-6 Taurus uses the same fan and it's easier to find and remove in the junkyard. Chrysler cars have a neat "fuse block" under the hood near the brake master that holds several relays and a heavy duty diode for electric fans...but it's yellow. I used a fusible link wire instead of a standard fuse, and it holds up well against the current surge when the fans start. I ran my power from the regulator buss bar. You'll also need a temp sensor that pushes thru the radiator fins to tell the fan when to run...those can be bought new from the auto parts store. Here is a wiring diagram for a fan setup with dash light, AC switch, manual switch, and all. There are simpler ways if you don't need all that.

Mo's70MCs Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Nice schematic Mark.. anybody use a fan module like the one on a 1999 Chrysler 300.. it looks like it would work? Dual fan. Dimensions looked awful close? I've seen them at bone yards as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobsmc Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 the gp fans cover about 90% in my estimation.they fit the width closely but fit. i like the dual fans for the ac system the left fan runs of the engine temp and the rh fan is controlled by the ac signal. the rh fan can be switched on manually if ness. the key ,imo is the relay kit. hollester really know there stuff and will design it for your set up.it almost plug and play. rod,are you talking about the 300 fan assy ,or there relay? those relays fail alot in there original use. i would not trust them.

Mo's70MCs Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 rod,are you talking about the 300 fan assy I was talking about the fan assy..Just dimension wise? Not the relays in anyway.. the fan module only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewTimer Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 I did some looking and dig Bobs fans, you can actually buy them new for a 100 bucks. My project before summer will be to clean up engine bay. So pulling the engine out and removing things I don't need. New pulleys, wheel wells, paint the bay and the fan including.

NewTimer Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 As I am getting ready to buy my relay kit and everything, I a thinking about the temp sensor, where should I put it? i have seen some in the radiator. And I do want to keep the one for the existing sensor for the temp warning light in car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footballubet Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I bought the Ron Francis Fan kit from Summit and it uses a copper eyelet with a thermistor built into it. Just attach it under an intake bolt and good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewTimer Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 Well I have the relays already(dual fans), just need the temp sensor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
