trwebb26 Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Who is running an L6 and has switched to an electric fan? What radiator/fan combo are you using? Are you happy with the performance? How are you switching the fan? Thanks! Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violacleff Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 I'm running a 16" maradyne fan, with the stock 3 row radiator and it works great. I'm controlling it with my haltech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280~Master Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Here is a little note I found out about an electric fan. I went to the junk yard today and found a radiator that fits almost perfect in place of the stock radiator. Just one problem though. It has the bottom outlet facing the wrong way. I dropped it off at my local radiator shop and they are trying to find out how we can get the bottom outlet to face the right way or to get a radiator from another car with the same size dimensions as this one. We will see in a couple of days what happens. I also found a fan shroud that will work with the Taurus fan. It is off of a Ford Escort 4 door 83-86 maybe more models. The shrouding has the same size fan motor and fan blade as the Taurus. The Escort shroud sits the fan to the right of the water pump which is the issue of the Taurus fan and the L6 motor. The Escort motor is also a two speed fan but the blades on the Escort fan is about 6 as were the Taurus has almost double this, which will pull more air. I am going to try and get this ready by this weekend and maybe I can get some pictures up and posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedNeckZ Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I am running the Flexalite Black Magic 150 from Jeggs. Didn't have any problem putting it in and so far haven't had any with it running. I bought it as a kit. Instructions were easy to follow. Cost was $200 new, both Jeggs and Summit were the same price. Good Luck in your choice, Rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
