I am going to ditch the clutch fan.

I ditched the AC... and alot of posts

say One: the fan was for the AC....

and you can get a little more juice(power)

out of this motor by losing the clutch fan.....

However, I would really like to run

an AUX. fan....... I am even thinking of

running it off the Defrost switch the

AC clutch used to use....

So does anyone have a link they

could send me to a nice AUX fan.

I would like to see if I could bolt

it on the RAD.... Make it look OEM...

I mean really I guess I could

run an OEM fan.. (run two side by side)

WELL, LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK

THANKS, MICKY:banana:

Thanks for the Link M.o.t.M.

I finally got the car back together

and running...(regasket job and timing belt)

Now I can see how the car does without the

Aux. fan.... It seems to be doing decent

without the Aux fan... As was previously

mentioned in earlier threads, the mechanical

fan is for the AC..

(being that I removed compressor don't need it)

... So the electric fan was

maintaining temperature kicking on momentarily

(at idle) ; gauge a little below half........

It is February here so will have to see as

the weather gets warmer... Motor is much

happier :headbang:without the mechanical clutchfan...

With the AC out I have been doing well with only the clutch fan. I have the electronic one in the back but it's having it's own issues so I took it out and will replace it eventually. It doesn't get too hot here, though, or too humid. I think last summer it hit 90 a couple times :S

I have done the exact same thing to Ben and he is exhibiting the exact same results. Little more throttle response, can hear the engine better now (no more WHIIRRRRRRRR), and the elec. fan pops on at just the right time to bring the temp down a little bit.

 

Still think I as well am going to get an AUX fan to run in there just in case.

 

Gonna work on pulling the compressor out when I do the waterpump soon...
