electric radiator fans for your 240sx

hows it going everyone
im about to gut my stock radiator fan that sits on the engine shaft and robs horsepower… now im wondering which electric one to get, which kind do you guys reccomend ? any specific kind ? maybe from another car that fits or some specific size…
please help me out, thanks…

ive got a ac condenser fan off an eldorado…i think…some kinda caddie…12" and custom brackets!

not sure of the cfm…but its faaaaast as a mofo…cools very nice

varun has a dodge ram i beleve…

if u wanna spend big bux, but want it to look super smooth then get dual FAL’s with a shroud…very sharp :wink:

hmm do you have dims for the fan, LxWxH, and how should i wire them, always on or what ?

this should give you a good idea for radiator fans

AC fan will work 99% of the time, if you have one.

Nissan Stanza, or Pulsar NX. Find at any junkyard, direct fit, less $$.

Someone did a test and found that the stock Altima (the KA powered ones) electric fan actually flowed more CFM than all the aftermarket ones they tested.

Great writeup!!!
props to the guys who did this test!

and im glad to see i went with a good setup of Koyo and Altima fans

yes…the one that was in my link if you cared to look at it

how you wanna wire it is up to you…mines on a switch…as for the dims…im not too sure…its 12" diameter and theres not much more to it than that…3 arms to mount it…from arm end to arm end its the size of the rad so a perfect fit wiht the help of mounting hardware

hope these help…the orange bracket in the pics is what holds the fan in place …there is one just like it on the bottom as well

thanks alot guys, this is awsome info, thanks…

ps… i have a problem where once i start my car, it doesnt idle at 900rpm, it tends to die down to 500, than it chokes, than it stalls itself… whats this supposed to mean ?

Could be a bunch of things… try squirting in some TB cleaner while the car is running. Could also be your idler air valve.

thanks alot guys, im gonna be trying to fix things up next weekend
