Guest bluex_v1 Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 I was doing a search for some taurus fan dimensions here and didn't find anything. I did find this page with pics and measurements elsewhere though...figured it might be a help to some others here too: http://broncoii4x4.dynu.com/taurusfan/taurusfan.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 Blue X, Great contribution of the dimension and photos of fan, especially for the severely computer "challenged members" like myself. I printed the info and stuffed it into the JTR manual for future reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaime240z Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 That's great info. How are these supposed to be wired in the z car. I have a 2 speed fan but have not installed it yet. I'm wondering how you guys wired in the 2 speeds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted August 28, 2002 Share Posted August 28, 2002 Most are using just one speed or the other. I've found its rather nice to have the other speed as backup. I mention this because Hi-speed packed it in one me, I changed the wires and went home in the heat on low speed with only minimal difference in temperature. A computer controlled car could probably do it easily, a carbed car would require some fancy relays I think Pete had a solution for that, but its just a matter of not having both poles come on at the same time or it'll burn it up. Maybe some sort of temperature range for one and then a higher range for the other using two temp senders or something. I'm not sure what the answer is, in reality IMHO I can't see why you'd need two speeds, the cars nearly always run hot enough where high speed would probably be on all the time anyway. I did note a guy at one of the car shows used the high speed side on a manual switch and he'd flip it on after he parked for a few minutes, how much good that did I'm not sure, but he had a 8-71 on a Mach V BBC in a 69 tubbed truck, so maybe it appreciated a bit of cooling of the water when it was shut down, or maybe it just blew some of the heat out of the engine compartment. He was barely clearing the twin holleys even with a pro stock hood on that beast though I can tell you that. Regards, Lone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaime240z Posted August 28, 2002 Share Posted August 28, 2002 Thanks Lone. Sounds like this hand-me-down part is going to out perform my $100 flex-a-lite counterpart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_H Posted August 28, 2002 Share Posted August 28, 2002 can someone point me to the post where it said how many amps this drew and what approx. cfm it was? Thanks, Bob (I know it was recent, but its late and I'm hoping that someone has it bookmarked!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg SmileZ Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Did a search and found the link to Taurus pics and dimensions, but the link does not work.... http://broncoii4x4.dynu.com/taurusfan/taurusfan.htm Can someome verify this link, or measure their Taurus shroud and post the dimensions? Thanks, Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg SmileZ Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 Found the link that works, if anyone is interested..... http://www.broncoii4x4.com/taurusfan/taurusfan.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HBskinheadZ Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 Just to clarify, the 2 speed fan came from a 3.8 liter taurus sedan or wagon. Here is a link http://www.fordmuscle.com/archives/2003/02/electricfan/index.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
