Electric cooling fans on a street/strip car - 07/28/13 12:17 AM

How many of you are still running the original fan?
Original fan and an electric fan?
Just an electric fan?




On the demon I will not be able to use a clutch drive fan, but use an mechanical fan. We are thinking of just using an electric 16" fan.

Your thoughts on this? The car will be a street strip car.

Light weight flex fan. Good street / drag compromise.

On my Demon I run a 4 core radiator and a clutch fan. Used a fan clutch off a 90 jaguar xj6. Hayden clutch number from summit HDA-2765.

Dual 11" fans fully shrouded on my street/strip hooptie... keeps it cool in stop and go driving with the AC on high during 120° days. My mechanical clutch fan is sitting under a bench. Not quite sure why I haven't "recycled" it.

HHR fan for the win!

Run a viscous clutch with a shroud and a 15" pusher just in case. Running a small Howe alum. radiator (ordered total width when I thought it was core width...oops)

Cruising it sits happily at 180 with the elec. unit off. Only after sitting in bumper to bumper traffic (i.e. Woodward) for 20-30 minutes will it approach 200 with the elec. fan on. With how much I drive, I want to be safe.

Will go with a HHR when I get a new radiator...

I run an HHR fan with a PRP water pump in my street/strip car. I'm running E85 so it won't be the same, but the only time I saw above 180* was on a long highway trip;even on 90+ humid days in Nebraska. I run a hi-flow 180* stat and I'm always between 170-180.

No I dont... not off hand.. but I believe its in the
20-22 amp area... I run it on a 30 amp fuse and even
with the surge amps it doesnt pop the fuse
