Hi ive been debating a possible electic fan conversion for my 2.5 ...possible dual fan set up.. removing clutch fan.. just a thought and wpuld like ideas and picts of setups... i imagine i could find a few but thought it would be nice to hear how they are working for others and see a picture for ideas on setup. Ive heard the cadillac cts dual fan might be a possible 1 that running all the time off ignition. and the other of theromostat. I also plan on a 130 amp alternator anyhow.

 

Old pic of mine here.......


Single 14" and it will overcool. No need for any dual fan BS on a 2.5


Mine rarely runs at all unless I at extended idle.


One of the smartest things you'll do.

 

Wow , its Jeep Driver i Pm'd you etc.. wanting picts of your engine you built for your mj.. ya reckon u can pm me some picts? Thanks for the info.. i was thinking of removing the clutch fan and running all electric ...

 

My pics should be open to you

What timing chain kit is that? And can you pm me any other mods u did on it?? I didnt see picts of the intake ..i remeber those picts...

 

Doesn't the 97+ 2.5s have an electric fan inside the fan shroud?
I noticed it on the 99 5speed 2.5 when I saw it was running a 4.0 radiator

 

Yes it does..im talking about running 1 fan..or 2.. deleitng clutch fan tho...1 fan would need to run constant and im not sure oem would be the solution...Jeep Driver > says it over cools with a electric fan on costant. Clutch fan is constant tho.. if i could match that cfm/rpm and size possibly to eliminate clutch fan. And add secondary as backup. Might be overkill for the small reward ..

 

It's just a Cloyes double roller.


You are missing the point here of the Efan...........


There are days it NEVER runs.

I can get in my truck, drive to work, and NEVER run the fan.

You don't need a fan for driving.

If you are stuck in traffic....you need a fan.......otherwise the fan does nothing.

 

My fan runs... yes its a clutch fan.. i get what ur saying.. really.. i also understand that the fan always runs at idle however for a reason...i guess i could wire it to kick on when i release the gas pedal ! Lol..

 

Mine is wired to a thermo switch, when it gets to temp it turns the fan on, cools, then turns the fan off.

And NO, the fan does not need to run at idle.

One benefit is faster warm ups.

 

Well i would probally wouldnt trust 1 electric fan to run my cooling system .... if i had 2 on the thermostat maybe. I get what ur saying just didnt no if it was possible to replicate 1 running low and other on thermostat was all. Although i have had a clutch fan fail already.yes faster warmup. I understand it doesnt need to run at idle also.. till it gets to set point but it sure would warm up fast and would have to drop fast at that and kick on and off constant .... a good fan can do that but to much of a fan can do too much.. thanks. Kinda tricky to get right. Maybe just leave it stock.. i thought i might gain a hp.
