Which Thermal fan for AE86 Thu, 19 February 2004 10:45 Go to next message
ok everyone i need a thermal fan for my new engine as i have ditched the old clutch type,
What have people used ??
Or should i just Buy a Davies Craig Fan ??

I am using the Standard radiator for the minute, unless i find it unsuitable..

Thanks in Advance.

I was on a budget, and i used a SV21 camry thermo fan.... fits straight onto the ae86 radiator...

costs me $25 at the wreckers, or something around that price

wreckers are cheap, look around

DC are considered exxy, but they arguably last longer, are balanced better, draw less power etc, than cheaper alternatives..

think of DC vs cheap-ass fans as toyota vs hyundai... theres a quality difference, but both will get you to the shops'n'back for a few years Smile

if you look around P&PL youll find a 15" Davies Craig is standard on some of the later model vehicles, thats what i use, reliable as and with the stock AE86 radiator you can watch the needle drop within seconds when you turn it on ( mine was on manual switch )

personally i think toyota fans are better than dc ones.

Ive had both and swear the toyota ones suck twice as much as dc ones. My 12" toyota one will pull easily as much as the 14" DC one i have.
I also believe they last longer. otherwise why would they put them in the bay as the primary cooling source?!

And..wreckers want sfa for them!

Those two fans keep my ma70 cool..alongside a tri-core manual ma61 radiator.

The v8 setup is about twice as big again though...

i'm using/will be using a sss nissan pulsar fan, fits perfectly, as i assume radiators are standardish parts.
