Default Installed LS1 E-fans

I finally installed my LS1 e-fans this weekend after they sat in my garage forever. I used a harness from DLH2006 that is put together very nicely. I did have to switch around the wires because my fans were spinning backwards and also lengthen one wire, but it was no big deal. The fans just sat into the bottom radiator tray and I secured the top with the body lift brackets used for my fan shroud. The only problem I have now is that they are extremely loud and I suspect the left motor might be the problem so I am looking into replacing it. Here are a couple pics of the installation.





I can tell a big differnce in throttle response and low end torque, hopefully they will improve my milelage also.

On a side note, if you ever say to someone, "just make sure you don't drill through my radiator", go ahead and plan on replacing it.

Looks decent, just trim off that L O N G bolt sticking out and paint the brackets black and it should look nice.

I installed mine "upside down" compared to yours though so that the wiring is at the bottom and looks more factory compared to having the wires on top of the motors.

Wow! I guess mine are upside down too then, I put them with the wires at the bottom of the fans because the Force told me too. LoL
