Title: taurus fan install Post by: penski61 on July 09, 2011, 05:54:14 PM so i had to fix the timing belt i guess it skipped a tooth , i figured since i had everything apart i might as well do an e-fan
picked up a Taurus fan from T-ray went to metal shop and then started this (http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z219/penski61/sas/P7099026.jpg) (http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z219/penski61/sas/P7099027.jpg) (http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z219/penski61/sas/P7099028.jpg) pretty much done , i had to notch the drivers side to clear the steering box tomorrow ill see if i can get installed and wired up (http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z219/penski61/sas/P7099031.jpg) (http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z219/penski61/sas/P7099029.jpg) Title: Re: taurus fan install Post by: penski61 on July 10, 2011, 09:25:27 AM other than some mounting brackets , its done
oh and welding aluminum sucks lol , good thing is that its not a structural weld (http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z219/penski61/sas/P7099032.jpg) (http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z219/penski61/sas/P7099033.jpg) radiator is back in , now just have to wait for the kit to show up (http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z219/penski61/sas/P7109041.jpg) Title: Re: taurus fan install Post by: salad_man on July 10, 2011, 07:10:59 PM That looks sweet, let me know what fan and kit, as I would like to do this on my truck as well.
Title: Re: taurus fan install Post by: penski61 on July 10, 2011, 07:18:44 PM its the 2 speed ford taurus fan , the kit im wanting to get has a 2 week lead time so i may end up getting something different
i cut the original ford fan shroud down just what you see in the pics otherwise it wouldnt have worked just bolting it to the aluminum shroud also the ford shroud didnt even come close to the coverage this shroud has Title: Re: taurus fan install Post by: salad_man on July 10, 2011, 09:07:09 PM Where are you getting the kit from? I am assuming you are just getting a thermostat kit, will that be with a tapped in sensor on the radiator?
Title: Re: taurus fan install Post by: penski61 on July 10, 2011, 09:10:03 PM i paid for this kit , but i didnt see a 2 week lead time so i may get a refund and go with something different but ive heard alot of good things about this kit
http://www.dccontrol.com/fancontrol.htm found this one that is similar http://www.summitracing.com/parts/FLX-31165/?rtype=10 Title: Re: taurus fan install Post by: salad_man on July 10, 2011, 09:59:40 PM oh very nice, I was looking at the flex a lite fans before as well.
Title: Re: taurus fan install Post by: penski61 on July 14, 2011, 07:43:09 PM got it all wired up
used a 50 amp circuit break for high and 30 for low , 2 75 amp relays and a 3 way switch to control it for now i may install the control i order but ill probably just sell it turned it on the other night and worked great but had to shut it off cause i was running open headers and the truck was way too loud Title: Re: taurus fan install Post by: salad_man on July 14, 2011, 09:02:57 PM Why not install the thermostat control?
Title: Re: taurus fan install Post by: penski61 on July 14, 2011, 09:21:41 PM cause its not here lol , and apparently it takes 3 weeks to get here
i should have done research on this guys customer service before i ordered but his product is highly recommended Title: Re: taurus fan install Post by: penski61 on July 17, 2011, 08:25:25 PM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nunkv0oaDAc
