<< < (2/3) > >>

ChrisW70:
15" single or twin smaller ones..? MM4x4 offer a 15" for V8's but 'not recommended for heavy off road use'

cheers guys looks like try to tat yard then for pair of pug205 fans :-) thanx simon

Range Rover Blues:
Ducato van has a big fan.

BUT, I rang Kenlowe and spoke to their applications engineer.  He advised me NOT to swap the Viscous for electric.  Aviscous fan will shift twice as much air as a pair of 12" HD fans (you can't fit 2 13" IIRC) but basically the biggest fans they sell that fit will not do the job as well as a sorted vsicous.

So I bought a new viscous and rad, my car has been sorted since, well cooling wise anyway.

main  issue is the way the front end is now a standard viscus wont work as it hits the :oops: bonnet

got a pair of 13" leci fans on the front


only issue now is i cant find a 12volt feed
every feed i find goes to 14volts when engine is runnin
so im not sure wot im gonna do

doda456:
Any of the 14 volt feeds will be fine.     Its becasuea car electrical sytem is 12v nominal and max 14.4v

The 14.4v is  the alternator output, as batteries have to be charged at slightly above the rated voltage.


If you put a meter across the battery without the engine running it will read 12.4, with the engine running it should be between 14v and 14.4v
