ford escape dual fans?
 
I already did some looking around and i haven't found any mention of this idea, but i was looking at an uncles escape and noticed the radiator is about the same size as the one in an xj. So i looked around and found the radiator is 28.5x11.5 roughly for a 2011 ford escape 4 cyl. And in a jeep its 31x10.5ish. Dual electric fans, he said they were 2 speed but i cant verify that. Has anyone tried these in an xj? And if they are 2 speed could they be wired to run low as soon as key on and high by thermostat and be enough to keep it cool?

Taurus fans work well with some minor mods, several write ups on the forum and online.

go for it. Always good to see new mods come up that nobody else thought of.

I've heard of taurus fans but i was thinking of this being another option and couldnt find if it'd been done before. When funds allow ill pull some parts from a yard and write it up if i still have the xj by then.

Never seen it done, but it's fun to make stuff work. Just research a bit to make sure the escape fans put out enough CFM to cool the radiator. Sometimes even if stuff fits it might not pull enough air through.
