Fan That Runs Off The Drive Belt...can You Make It Electric?

[Plan-FAILURE]

I've searched high and low and nothing to answer my question.

If you have a prob Nismoid, update your forum search tool - its crap. Google works better to find an individual post LOL.

Can someone just give me a link to a thread that talks about electric engine fans and deleting the drivebelt driven wright brother.

?? Honestly you guys have 1000s of posts and all you can do is pull the piss.

I'll go ask my tuner and stop wasting your precious, precious, precious time.

All you have to do is remove fan hub from the pulley, (in assuming it's a skyline)

Leave the pulley and belt as it drives your water pump,

Install electric fan on radiator, get a custom shroud made if u want..

Get it wired up and its all sweet..

y do u want to get rid of ur belt driven one anyway??

Here! For god's sake man it took about 15 seconds to find this. Even less than it would take to find a mechanic or auto-leccy in the yellow pages

Electric cooling fan stuff

Thermo Fan Thread

2 seconds of searching

and I think the face palm was in reference to a discussion about this very thing this week

This Weeks Link

That thread discusses the fact that although it looks primitive to some, the standard clutch hub fan is very efficent and works well.

And you also have to realise that electric fan draws power, which comes from the altenator, which the engine also drives.....

So there you go, if you want to do it ive given you a thread to help

And I've given you reasons why you shouldnt do it

Happy?

So it took you 15 seconds and your having a winge? Maybe you need to send me the link for how to search properly. Then I won't be taking that 15 seconds away from you.

Cheers for the link.

And it took you 2 seconds! You must have even less time than philkenshebben. Busy boys on these forums I tell you.

Cheers for the links all the same. And did you know the clutch fan also runs off the engine and drains more than what an alternator would?

Have you noticed when your fan comes on you have a massive increase in lag?

That would be my reason =)

Ummm I'd say you might have a bigger issue there....... I never even notice my fan engaging or disengaging.....

Maybe something more severe is wrong, I dont even hear mine

[jrm]

Fan's probably not disengaging ...

You should remove the belt to the alternator and power steering as well. Get rid of the aircon and all that also.

Who knows, with all the extra power you'll make, that wheel camber fix you did might not do the trick any more. Back to wheel spinning in every gear again.

Seriously though, search is not hard. We all had to deal with the flamage from older users when we asked stupid questions, it's just some people are more knobs about it than others. Those are the ones who attract 'take the piss' answers for every question they ask

[The Dan]

And for an on topic reply so you don't break down and cry:

We keep the clutch fan on both our race cars because it cools better than the best thermo fan you can buy.

Both cars exceed 550hp at the wheels so we aren't really concerned about the 5hp loss, we'd rather have the better cooling effect. Don't forget that once you get your thermo in there and run 5degrees hotter in the cooling system, you'll also decrease the efficiency of the engine, thus robbing it of any power you think you just gained

And so after the tossers take the piss, the real men out there offer assistance.

Cheers to you guys. Hopefully the mice will learn someday.

[The Dan]

If your fan sounds like a Cessna, maybe it needs to be replaced or maybe the cooling system is running hotter than it should. The fan shouldn't be engaged all the time. If it only sounds like a Cessna some of the time, then it's doing it's job

Enjoy your holiday.

Good thing, you can still use the search even if you are suspended.

Will give much needed time to have a good practice at it.
