05 Ele. Fans

The track was dead because of all the rain in the past week, but the rain let off early today in time for the track to open. I made 15 runs and left way early

 

Nice time, what were you running before? I'm curious how much if any efans will help e.t.

 

My old best was a 15.220, But the fans were done at the same time as the tune, So I can't tell. If you do swap radiators it will take some time to get all the air bubbles out. I was getting hot at the track and I think there is still air in there. But once I stopped and kicked them fans on high the temps dropped like a rock. So they work great, But you have to have a switch in the truck to kick them both on high just in case. I have a waterproof switch that I put in between the fuse box and the curved fender brace, and I looks great there, I just drilled a hole in the fuse cover and mounted it. I put sealed 1/4" connectors for taking the cover off so it won't be a pain.

And huge thanks to joshluther for the tune , lvstogofst2002 , KLUG'S SS for the rad. and the other Conn. guys(I don't know there screen names or if there on here)

 

E fans are worth about 2/10's Its hard to believe. Someone told me he got 3/10's from them and I called B.S. When I put mine on I went from 15.9 to 15.5 but my tune was still learning itself I think and I also hit 100K miles, so I had changed the plugs. So I don't know exactly, but I would say for sure 2-3/10's!

 

I'm not sure on that one, seems a bit much to me. Maybe a 10th but I don't think any more than that.

 

well just to put it into perspective,going from a clutch fan to an e-fan frees up roughly 17 horsepower. There was a guy on a different website that had dyno before and after.
Nick

 

only dyno i saw from electric fans produced 3 hp

 

From the 1/4 mi. times I gained 15HP total, Thats with the tune and the fans only.
For about $200 total, Thats not too bad.

Next on the list is the homemade intake and muffler swap.

 

I only gained about 2 hp from the 05 fans. We did a before and after on Allen's Dyno(Nelson Performance), but throttle response was alot better.

 

other than the actual fans, what else do you ahve to change to convert to electric from belt driven?
