I would think the drain on the alternator would be extremely high, just like the stock fan. Not sure. That's why I'm asking.  |
well they would kick on whenever thet temps reach the thermostat setting that you set. if you set the temp setting to be the same as when the stock fan comes on, they should kick on and off at the same time.
clutch fans dont use elctricity for power so there would be no real draw from the alternator. i think the stock alternator should handle efans just fine as long as you arent running an underdrive pulley or blasting a 2000 watt system, or running 20 billion KC lights at the same time
a better than stock battery would be a good idea with the efans and there are better alternators that you can buy, but all this does cost $$$. there are some gains from the efans, and matt is right, the extra space would be nice(changing my belts with the stock fan is a PITA) personally i think ill keep the stock fan for now, i have my headers now and may look at a water/meth kit and possibly a smaller pulley before i consider efans.
