Forum:
Questions in the title really. I want to try and fit one, Im hoping i can pick one up from a scrapper, obviously different make to daihatsu but hoping i can 'tailor' to fit.
Hopng to improve on fuel consumption etc by doing away with the belt driven standard fan
Has anyone any experience of this

Buy a kit from one of the specialist suppliers, these fit straight on and have the right airflow requirements for the vehicle. Sensors fit straight onto the vehicle, and wiring is usually integrated.
This will be slightly more expensive than sourcing scrappers, and alleviate any problems with inadequate airflow, particularly when off roading in low box, and a radiator clogged with mud.
Newer fans will have two speeds, this is better for fuel consumption as the second stage, or speed only kicks in when necessary.
Over the years, i have spent hours fitting electric fans to engines and suffered all the problems, and experience has taught me to purchase a purpose made system.
