Went to the junkyard today and found this exact fan for my 66 pontiac gto because of this video. Trust me when I say it is perfect. Pulled from a 2007 Ford fusion I paid 50 bucks cleaned it up removed the module just using the power and ground. It runs on high and damn she blows you will not be disappointed. I had 2 electric fans cheap ones 12" and an 8" my rad is 25 and ½ wide on a 30 Amp relay and this is better than both combined my temp stays around 180... Thanku for this video Sir oh and I've never seen that movie 2 lane blacktop but I'll be watchin it now lol
@@HeadFlowInc will a cooling fan module from Summit racing work for this? Cause I used to have a Lincoln Mark 8 cooling fan and I used the Summit module in it and it lasted for A LONG TIME.
f1x1tright I sold this Fusion fan to a friend who installed it on a BBC tunnel ram in a g-body wagon. He was having overheating issues, they bought a bigger radiator, hacked out the core support, and mounted this fan. Idling in 90+ temps it stays at 170 degrees! If I ever build something with a full size 19" tall radiator I'll definitely grab a Fusion fan. Good to get feedback I appreciate it! JD
Another good fan similar to ford contour is the early 2000’s Mercury Cougar. It fits my ‘72 C10 BBC and is only 3-1/4” thick and fits in tight places. Radiator to water pump pulley on my BBC is 3-3/4” and a lot of fans are 4” or thicker. It has two fans and both are on either low or high. I used the factory relays out of the same car and incorporated a dual temp sensor to kick on low at 190 and high at 205.
I’m going to get this and install it on my truck then do a review, I just installed some DIY e-fans that worked perfect at first but when towing heavy weight it makes my engine temps warmer than normal.
HeadFlowInc yes it is automatic, that’s exactly what Intend to do, I want to remove the Trans radiator that’s between the AC and engine radiator and put it on its own so it has extra cooling power.
Oh I got to to do a video on the fan I found on the cheap. It's U remember correctly dual 12in. fans with it's own speed controller and heat sync with 2 something like 18 or 22 gauge control wires for the switch and it fits perfectly in the S10. It came off a Range Rover and I believe it was an 98. It's crazy sick with the cfms.
Alpha Ghost I'll have to make a video on the Intrepid fan install, I thought I had already but didn't. Very little trimming to fit and even brand new only cost a little over $100.00
HeadFlowInc that's what I have heard the intrepid fan was the way to go , I think I heard also people using Taurus fans, have you heard this . I'm at the point of shopping for fans for my 97 blazer 5.3 LSA build, any ideas welcomed..
KRKENNEL I highly recommend the Dodge Intrepid dual fans and an aftermarket aluminum radiator, I had no luck with the factory S10 radiator. The size of the radiator will depend how much you intend on modifying the core support. My radiator is 16" x 31" with the radiator sitting on top of the frame rails.
Is it easy to do the reverse polarity ? Is as simple as swapping pos to neg? And vice versa ? Do they alway spin in reverse? I wanna do a pusher for a turbo project. Just looking for confirmation
1989GTADRIVER Caution, Yes swapping the Positive and Negative will make the electric motor run backwards but the blades on the factory fan aren’t designed to spin backwards. I was saying you could mount it either in front of the radiator pushing the air through or mount it on the engine side and try to pull air through. However, I don’t know how hard it would be and how efficient it would work as a pusher since the blades aren’t really made that way? Very good questions I’m glad you asked, Try testing your fan to see if it flows enough air in “Reverse” best to verify
Killer97 mustang Make sure you wore it with a relay to handle 40a+, to handle the start up amperage draw. With this fan running at full power it moves a crazy amount of air! I’ve also seen the Dodge Ram truck say 2007 type body style move a ton of air as well.
@@HeadFlowInc bought a 60/80 amp relay, and a fuse block. I will be sure to tell you how it turns out. I saw you are from Missouri, i live in southeast Missouri. Thoughg that was kinda neat.
@@muzzytt i did test ford crown Victoria 2007 radiator fan, The result is: Free flow 2750 cfm. 2400 cfm behind 1/2 inch thick radiator. Initial amp is 59 amp on 13 volt 28 amp constant on 13 volt 1850 rpm on 13 volt
Hello. What is the total width? If possible without the rear cap? Is there any space to be trimmied in the front of the shroud? So the fan can get closer to the rad? Thanks.
I’m sorry, I didn’t have the fan very long and don’t have any measurements. I sold the fan to a friend who put it on a 500 CID BBC wired with a 50a relay setup; it cured his overheating issue. It’s a really strong fan. JD
Good evening, what is the name of this fan, and was it installed on a car from the original, and what is the name of the car on which it was installed? With many thanks 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
Wait until you try one of the bad ass Volvo fans.. 4300 cfm! Really super close to the king the Mk viii Ford fan, but its 18" vs the 16" Volvo. They are 2 speed fan also, they make use of a nice dual relay to control it. I bought 2 for 30 bucks each from the local junk yard out of Volvo 850's. Got another on a best offer on ebay for 125 for a bnib oem Siemens fan. Dont buy the aftermarket Volvo fans on ebay, they are not balanced and are junk, there is no comparison vs the real Volvo in cfm output. I have 2 on my '03 Silverado, the fans only kick on high when the a/c is on, which I might add the fans cool the condenser down big time and it blows colder.. They do pull some huge amps @ start up then settle to around 26ish or so @ 13.8v running.. There really is no better electric fan.
Freshkryp69 If I ever run across one at the pick n pull I'll grab it! The Dodge Intrepid fans came on several Dodge/Chrysler vehicles so there easy and cheap. Thanks for the tip! JD
Freshkryp69 I’m going to do a dual fan set up on my 96 ram, I have the stock back on now but I got two 18” fans one from a Lincoln mark viii and the other from a 95 T-bird I’ll be posting that video on my RUclips soon!
Just got one from the store rn. I spun it just with my hand lightly and it's moving air big time I know when I plug it in its going to out do my dual fan setup
I sold this fan because it wouldn’t fit my S10; it went on a 496 cid BBC nitrous g-body wagon and fixed an over heating issue. I went with the Dodge Intrepid dual fan setup. All you need is minor trimming to the Intrepid fan shroud to fit. Supposed to be 4000+ cfm on High speed JD
Next thing you need to do is rig up a PWM speed control combined with a thermostat as cycling this thing between full blast and a dead stop is gonna kill it in no time. 555 timer anybody??
Pwm is the right way to go, running off the coolant temp sensor. I’d put a potentiometer as a pull-down resistor across the trigger input of the pwm controller so that you’re not overcooling in the colder weather (it’ll mess with fuel efficiency), but you also need to trigger the fan to full speed when the AC turns on or it won’t blow cold enough. 40A fuse should be plenty, and 8AWG wire to be safe.
@@gregorykusiak5424 I picked up a PW modulation unit off eBay, it has a speed control dial and fan speed (LED) read out as a percentage of on time, the fan im using is from a 05 crown vic.
@@SnakePliscan most coolant temp sensors in cars are “negative coefficient thermistors” - resistors that drop in resistance as temp increases, exactly like the control knob of your pwm unit. The pull down resistor I suggested across it would let you set a proper “on point” for the fans, and leave 100% duty cycle on the table for when you turn on your AC - the condenser lives in front of the radiator and needs airflow through it so the system doesn’t blow warm.
@@gregorykusiak5424 So i have to make sure its a sensor for a temp gauge or ECM and not one of those ones with just a bimetal on/off switch in it. So yeah this is a great idea thanks for putting that out there ! .. i'll have to do some R&D now figure out the wiring.
RichieTNY you would have to have a really big radiator. The cooling area would need to be min 19” tall and 32”+ wide to even have a chance. I don’t recall the measurements, stop by a pick n pull and get an accurate measurements. Lord, two of these fans would have a high initial start up Amp draw, each fan would need its own 40-50+ amp relay I’m sure. But two of the Fusion fans should cool anything! 👍
HeadFlowInc I think I’m 34 inches wide. Thank you for posting. I was considering the amazon/eBay cheapo fans. The flexalite fans are over 550 bucks. I’ll try to pickup a strong thermostat controller or run each one on a separate controller and offset it by 5 degrees
RichieTNY No way don’t buy aftermarket fans, there’s too many option out there from OEM cars and trucks many of them higher quality and flow more air. 👍👍👍
Also looks like there is a couple inches on each side that can get trimmed of needed. My radiator is only 24" wide. I cant find specs for it online. MRK 8 fan is too deep. 90-95 Taurus is pretty old and Volvo I can find for $110 without shroud and not sure if includes relay. So if 2007 fan is not too deep i can find them for $50 but still will need to get. Pulse controller to ramp it up and not burn it out
Devo Should work but you’ll need a 40a or larger relay to handle the amp spike on start up. This fan was used on a 500+ CID BBC nitrous car and worked great keeping it cool! JD
P_R_F_S Im not sure if the fan blades are designed for reverse rotation, But my testing proved it moves a ton of air in either direction! I’d say it will work pushing or pulling, you’d have to try it. Thanks for watching and the feedback I appreciate it! JD

PWM is what controls the fans speed also its pulse width modulator its like a dimmer for a house
We only ran it with straight power, no control box/module etc.

If it’s an automatic make sure you have a large extra capacity transmission cooler and possibly an oil cooler might help. JD
