Torqflo electric fan installation

I'll just have to be carefull with this, I don't cross deep water that much anyway. I adjusted it so that it will come on shortly after the engine fan engages.

I ran it up to temp, and then when the regular fan came on, I turned the adjustment down until the aux fan came on, then turned it up just a smidge Hope this helps somebody, Dan Edit: A requisite poser pic Joined Mar 27, Messages 5, Location north of FSM says the upper normal operating range for a 94 is if that helps you pick a number.

Tools R Us. Good job! A couple of observations; The fan is mounted to the condenser and body, the condenser is soft mounted, so it may not move the same as the body. Make sure that you have enough clearance so that the fan frame doesn't rub on the condenser. A piece of weather strip foam between the fan shroud frame and the condenser will seal up the air gap and improve efficiency.

To point you are correct, but the airflow does not stop at the radiator. Air will still be blowing through the engine compartment as well, cooling everything off. I may be treading on thin ice here, so anybody feel free to correct this, but assuming an open thermostat, if the cooling is enough to make a big difference between block temps and radiator temps, the cooler water will settle to the bottom end of the rig, while the warmer water will circulate via convection to the top end.

The engine outlet at the top end is where the temp sensor sits, so this will keep the fan on longer, allowing continued airflow to cool the top end. Either way, thermal shock is not a factor when changing temps from degrees to I'd be worried if the water in the radiator was 50 degrees Also, the 80 series thermostat is located on the inlet side of the block. If the incoming coolant were too cold, it would close the thermostat until everything warmed up.

So, in short, to answer your question, I don't think that it will be an issue. Great write-up, wondering what controller you got at Autozone. Looking to do the same to up my AC efficiency during idling around. I'd like to know what your solution does by way of comparison. Great writeup!!!

Where is this foam supposed to be? Mine is also mia. You want the radiator sealed to the core support, along the top and bottom tanks, also just down from the top tank on each side where the wire harness goes through.

Any air leakage will reduce performance. I get the foam from a home center, hardware store, look for high density, closed cell weather strip tape, the regular stuff soaks up water, gets heavy and falls out. Remove the bolts on one side of the radiator, right side is the easiest, move it slightly back, place the foam, bolt the radiator in place pinching the foam in place. CappyKD said:.

Replies 2 Views Electric cooling fan - TorqFlo Posted by mbb Electric cooling fan - TorqFlo 1. Recently purchased 73B - many extras such as TorqFlo electic fan. I've read some posts online via other websites.

I want to install this new TorqFlo cooling fan - the previous owner gave it to me with no thermosensor, relay, etc- only the fan.

I'll install and wire it Question: The installation of the TorqFlo has it pushing air FWD - should I rely on a thermosensor or use a manual switch and turn of the fan based on the temp gauge?

Do a manual switch? I'm in no mood to do computational fluid dynamic calculations which will may fail anyways - ask the experienced people on this site.

A tiny Island off the coast of Washington State, N. Top Contributor. You probably only have room for it as a pusher front of radiator pushing air toward the engine. What size is the fan? How much cfm? If too small you will need to retain your stock mechanical fan. You can buy a Hayden or derale controller with relay and adjustable temp range setting from summit or jegs etc.

Re: Electric cooling fan - TorqFlo 3. Are you saying take the block fan off? It pushes rearward. If I install the TorqFlo on the front of the rad, then it pushes forward When the car is driving, the TorqFlo will just windmill as if it operates it will probably burn-out.

The blades are usually reversible. You never want a fan pushing air forward either as a behind or in front of the radiator. Re: Electric cooling fan - TorqFlo 6. In reply to by ohlord The blades are usually reversible.
