E-Fan help...

I am still waiting on my Fx4 to arrive and it will have a Roush supercharger put on it once it gets broken in.

I want to buy a e-fan kit that will run right and wont give me any worries because I will be constantly making 1-3 hour trips about every week.

What brand's do you suggest, I would like to stay under $400 for sure!


Thanks

Flex A Lite #270 for $400. Do a search and you won't find problem posts with them. Mine have been in for 16 months without a glitch.

Flex a Lite does seem to be the safest bet from what I have read. Looks like a pretty solid kit. When its time for me to check that mod off that will be the kit I use

Good post guys - I was thinking of one more perf mod for the truck before I start really lookin at the '07 stangs. E-fan and pulley combo will be my final performance mod to the truck and was thinking about Troyer install for both.

Flex-a-lite 270 and a Spal electronic controler. FAL's controllers are junk as are most others that come as a "kit".

From all the heartache I've read on here about e-fans, I'd stay with the mechanical clutch fan unless you've got some burning desire or unavoidable requirement for electric fans. Especially if you need something that's dead reliable.

I think you should just stay with your stock unit. It would really suck if the electric unit crapped out on you when you needed to be somewhere. Only my opinion.

I bought 2 14" fans from ebay, a controller from Mad enterpirze, and some mounting sip-ties from O'Riely's auto parts for WELL under $400. even less than $200.

They have worked flawlessly and are still mounted solid as a rock. I have since added a switch to the second (auxilary) fan so I can turn it on at the track. Only one fan EVER came on from engine heat, so I added a switch to the second fan.

Great Mod.

The electric fans ONLY run if you are in stop-n-go traffic. Otherwise, the wind from driving cools the radiator just fine.
