looking to do a mod....thought about electic fans are they worth it and how much would it cost to do them any hp gains or mpg gain?

 

I love mine...

I think the going rate is ~100 for fans and 50 for a controler.

Whole thing should cost ya less than 200 ...scrounged mine up for 125

 

haha does the motor run cooler or anything good about them and do you have to run them all the time or somethin?

 

It wont run cooler... actually in a way its running hotter because there isnt the constant stock fan running. But your gonna want a 160deg Tstat to keep the temps down

 

so what basically happens when you do get them is there a hp gain or waht and also i have a hpp3 if i get the 160deg thermo can i ture my hpp3 off that wit the fans? so 200 bucks basically for what i mean what does the eletic fans do?

 

The efans frees up power since your engine doesnt have to turn the stock fan and clutch anymore. I think ive seen someone say from 6-8hp. If you have the hpp3 and the 160 stat then yea tune the hpp3 for the 160, but your efans are goin to run off a temp probe that you will put into you radiator.

What your lookn for is to run around 175.. so when you hit about 180-185 you can have you fans turn on untill the temp goes back down. When im driving around my fans dont usually come on, but I have a modded tstat instead of a 160 tstat, so its a little different.

BTW- the 160 tstat does not run at 160 so its not just you lol

 

haha ok good where do i buy these fans from and are they are to put in wire etc? so whenever my engine will go ver 180 i just hit the switch and let it cool down and turn them off? but when i turn them off shouldn't it go back up? just want to ask a few questions im either thinking a hd hood or e fans thanks chris..

 

Removing the stock fan is worth about 4-5rwhp on the dyno!

 

The wiring wasnt hard .. just follow the directions on the VSC controler.
As far as the on/off , the controler is gonna handle that for you and for the most part you wont have to worry about it. The only switch I have is a manual on which is optional. The usual operation is automatic.

 

Just get LS1 fans from a junk yard.They work good.
