I know everyone is gonna shit on me for this but why not use a factory LS clutch fan? 50% sure it'll just line up with that existing shroud and work fine. If you really want to buck the trend and get all the cooling capacity and efficiency of a mechanical and all the control of an electric, trailblazers use an electronic fan clutch and slightly different fan that will thread right onto an LR4 water pump, don't they run the same ECU as every other LS? I have one on my shelf that's slated for my Honcho one day, my plan is to just grab a factory trailblazer tune and copy any fan related settings I need to over from it to my LQ4 ECU.
You’re good man lol. Reason being just the fact we can pick them up for $15 and it’s getting rid of some parasitic drag. They completely enclose an s10 rad (looks to be same exact core size but need to double verify) like it was made for them and they move a ton of air. Also it cleans up some engine bay room. That’s about the only thing really.
@@codemanrose gotcha. It's neat that the Taurus fan fits the S10 rad so well, I'll have to try and remember that. I just hate spending a huge chunk of my electrical budget on a fan like that lol
@@kenstein I think I'm going out to the yard this weekend. I need to pull a fan for this setup (they are doing 44% off woooop). I'll snatch a rad up and set them on there to show you. I did measure the stock rad from the El Camino and it's exactly 2 inches taller (so still pretty close) and almost identical in core width. S10 is 26 1/4" and the El Camino is 26 3/8". So in theory this should work perfect. I just need to look for 2001-2006 sebring/stratus and those have the fans I like. I know some blazers got what is called an HD cooling package and the radiator in them are 2 row instead of 1. If I see one I will snatch that up and put that one in the vette as I dig the extra capacity and for $35 part I'll take it!
LS ALL THE THINGS!
"Quick side project" Which is going to get in the way of the main project for far too long.
Hey!! Stop that! Stop being real and saying things that are true!
