May 31, 20196 yr Shoot, I'll sell you the old clutch'ed mechanical fan off my EA81T if you would like that?

May 31, 20196 yr I’m debating about buying this fan motor and hoping it’s the right one from the Subaru parts store in Tacoma.

No, definitely without AC. @carfreak85 - The turbo one won’t fit as that is based on the EA82 setup. The EA81 doesn’t have the ability to bolt anything to the water pump pulley. I’m starting to think this fan was an Australian only thing - but I find that hard to believe. ^ This is what I’m talking about. Mover here, if you’ve got AC fitted this fan is removed for a second electric fan that’s run by the AC wiring loom. Here’s a pic of the stock electric fan with the AC (top unit): If you can’t find a mechanical fan, I’d be using all of that available space for a larger thermo fan or two smaller units. I’ve got 2x 12 inch on my L series from memory - these cool the EJ just fine, so cooling the little EA81 would be a breeze. Cheers Bennie Edited May 31, 20196 yr by el_freddo
June 1, 20196 yr All the fans I can find seem to be mounted through the core and made of plastic. I would love to have both fans on there. But like I said, I might just have to spend all that money on a new fan motor from Subaru.
