spotfitz Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I had purchased the #19115 16" from a local speed shop and hooked it to a relay straight to the battery, switched by a thermal switch(from them) in the thermostat housing and after I installed everything I found the thermal switch was not working. They sent me another(for free) and after 6 month the fan went out. I later put a taurus fan in as a pusher on high and never had a problem, for 3 years until I pulled my Z apart. Maybe my stuff from the speed shop got dropped on it's head or something, but... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260zjade Posted March 28, 2007 Author Share Posted March 28, 2007 i hear alot about the taurus fans...how thick are those things...as we all know there are problems with clearance...would that fan fit? and i assume it pushes some air? cause at idle i have cooling problems...although my new thermostat helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alittle shrouding to seal up the sides and your good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
