Taurus efan pictures.....
got my Ford Taurus efan installed.....told a few people i would take some pictures....
as you can see in the pictures, i used the push through cooler holders and then made a little bracket that screwed into the top of the radiator.....it is not going anywhere by no means.....
also, you have to be careful where you mount this because of the clearance with the water pump pulley....as you can see in one of the pictures....

I am going to do a write up tonight about installing the fan.......i have to make some wiring upgrades to run the high side of the fan.....the basic efan controller wiring will not work because of the amp draw the fan pulls on high...

Why wouldn't a standard controller work? The main power isn't coming through the controller, the controller is just triggering a relay? Would this thing need more than a 30 amp relay?
I've bee checking the junk yards this week. Apparently these are in bigger demand than I thought. I've only been able to find 1, and that guy wants $120. I'm not that desperate though.

here is the high side wiring diagram i made up:

I have a total of $100 in this fan, after buying the fan, the new relay, and rewiring it...

power gains non really since i had an efan before i put this one on......when i installed the first one, i gained about 1 mpg.....
Performing, this thing on the high setting is amazing.....i can literally watch the temp gauge (AutoMeter water temp gauge w/ sensor located in the same spot as the factory gauge sensor was) fall when this thing is running....the A/C runs a lot colder than it did before (even colder than it did with the previous efan)......you can put your hand behind the grill and FEEL the air being sucked into the radiator....and this thing pulls air through the entire radiator since it has a fan shroud...

That diagram is pretty much what I was thinking would have to be done. I just didn't realize they pulled that much on start up and would require that big a relay. I wonder if an "old style" ford starter solenoid would work. It's definetly cheaper, but don't know the amp rating. You would think it would have to be up there since it's for a starter circuit, but I'll have to do some research. Thanks man !!!!!

It MIGHT be something you would be intrested in. Lemme know.

go to www.spalusa.com and look up FAN-PWM for the controller....then you need a 40A SPDT relay also....
