Best Fans to run w/RJC Front Mount? RJC FMIC users plkease step inside

[tbirdv6]

I don't want Full Throttle or GBody Parts

Looking for SPAL , or what Summit/Jeg's carries

Looking for high CFM's (2800 or better)

Whats been your experience for fit?

i know you said you dont want the Valeo "Full Throttle / Gbody Fans" but hell for what i paid for the fan and my "lifetime" f body radiator it wouldnt even cover the high dollar fans and my car runs perrrrrfect a cool 173º F with my RJC fmic and 90+º ambient air. IMHO you cant beat it. Why pay for a $450 radiator and a $250-350 fan [hell thats the price of a turbo or whatever other mod you need]:wink:

The SPAL dual 12"fan would work fine or use one (2 if will fit) of their 16" curved blade fan.

I ran the dual spals from Hartline Performance,They were great and cooled better than my ramchargers motor burning one.

Otto, how many inches are they & how many blades do they have ? Are they separated or are they housed in 1 only ? Thanks !

I run the Gbody Parts one...I know you said you dont want to run those, so a good alt, are the Intrepid Dual Spal Fans. Some guys run those and are happy.

They are 11 inches each and come as one unit. I run em and I'm glad i spent the extra couple bucks. Got them from Hartline peformance.

Intrepid fans are the ones Gbody sells. Spal fans are aftermarket.

Because when a fan motor burns out on you then your car over heats and if you are far from home the tow could cost a couple hundred dollars and a lot of aggravation. Ask me, I know.

Heres the ebay vendor where I got mine...
eBay Motors: DUAL 11" ELECTRIC FAN SHROUD 2800CFM SPAL 30102052 (item 300129544348 end time Jul-21-07 14:37:58 PDT)

...those fans in the post above...will the caspers relay harness plug directly into those or is there splicing, soldering going on?...thanks noah.

 

[Rodney87GN]

On the fans I had to get the correct connector to match up with the Caspers harness. I believe its a Metripack 281 male connector. I got mine locally but I'm sure Caspers will have them too if you ask. I just cut off the old connector at the fan and repinned it with the new connector...pretty simple 15 minute job. Once that's done the Caspers harness plugs in directly.

Ooopse, I thought they were different. My bad...

Is that running AC in 90 degrees+???

 

[SloGN]

I just recently installed a RJC Fmic. My car has a stock replacemant radiator that was replaced several yrs ago.

when i installed the FMIC i also installed the g-body fans. In 92 degree heat with the A/C on and sitting in heavy traffic for a bit my car never got over 190 degrees. Thats with a 2 row radiator!


i know you said that you disliked the trep/g-body fans. so if you get a set of fans that move the same amount of air you shouldn't have any heating issues.

Link to an old thread I posted a while back. These fans move big air and have had no problem keeping my car cool during these summer months.
