Viscous Fan Removal

<< < (3/3)

Range Rover Blues:
You're right Sooty, it did start a discussion.

Correct, the fan should only be needed when the car is stationary or towing, in fact some cars have grilles designed to limit the airflow thus preventing overcooling (mkI Fiesta for one).
When the fan is running then yes, roughly the same hp comes from the electrical system.  I know it's about 2hp on a Ford crossflow so it's going to be more on a V8.
It will only help heat-up if your thermostat is bust.
Does that cover all the above?

Oh yes, if you fit the elctrics ahead of the rad it won't spray water on the dizzy quite as badly as the engine driven one.
I'm now thinking about trimming some of the fins on my rad grille.......
