Kenlowe Fan - What alternatives??

[dod51e]

I want to remove the visc. fan unit from the 3.9rrc Does not run very warm) and replace with electric fans.  I refuse to pay for Kenlowes so my question is;
Are the A/C fans powerful enough (additional pair fitted rearward of the rads and wiring changed to make them suckers rather than blowers), if not, from which cars can an existing set up be taken that will be cheap (i.e. from a Ford or Vauxhall)?

Cheers guys

Find a diesel Escort van, they have nice big electric fans on them.

Go to a scrappy and see if you can find a suitable one for your application then wire it in with a relay, X-fan switch and an override switch if you wish.

If you can find one in the scrappy Citreon BX the have huge motors and they are the exact fit for a RRC front panel

Fitted them to most of my previous V8 Rangies


Hope this helps as that gives you a few cars to chose from

if you reverse the polarity the fan will turn the other way but will not be as efficient due to the blades being directional i used a pair of pegeot 205 diesel fans very easy fit.

Fiat Ducato van IIRC.

That said a big pair of H/D 13" fans will shift 11CFM, the viscous will shift better than 150CFM.  Kenlowe advised me not to remove the viscous as aelectric fans don't do as good a job.  £50 bought a new viscous hub but I ended up getting a rad form the same place for £150, so the price of a new rad normally and now the LSE is a happy bunny whatever it's doing.
