Electric Fan Install!

Recommended Posts

So I used Lee's brackets, picked up a Spal 12" Hi Performance fan with curved blades, had The Fan Man make a temp sensor pipe so I wouldnt have to put a sensor in my radiator and started wiring! Took me about 6 hours total...no pics, it was getting dark and I was trying to get it done! It kept blowing fuses, they were 20 am...I guess the more powerful fan was drawing more current...rechecked all wires, threw in a 30 amp and it worked like a charm! Put in a indicator light in the center console and a manual bypass switch. Still have to mount the switch, but all is working perfectly! feels like I gained 20 HP! Just kidding...no power increase, but the engine is quieter even with the fan on...It comes on too late for my personal tastes...but if I went with a cooler temp switch it would bee on all the time....so I will live with it for now, but maybe a programmable fan controller is in my near future! Its a nic upgrade. Lee's brackets were absolutely PERFECT. Nice work. Made the job pretty easy. The wiring diagram on the FAQ is what I used to wire. Pics to come!

Jrhone, Can you give me a link for the brackets? I'm planning on running an electric fan sometime next spring. Did you use your stock radiator?

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
