Interesting for 2.5-2.8 owners

Noticed recently that the electric cooling fan assy from a PT Cruiser is similar in size to the 2.5-2.8 radiator. Decided this morning to actually see if they would go together.... they are almost exactly the same size. With some trimming and creative mounting I'm sure it would be a fairly easy conversion. You would need a fan controller, and need to find out which wire is for the high speed fan, as this is a 2 speed fan, but otherwise might be a good option for those who would like to pick up a couple of ponies on their asthmatic engines. The low speed part could even be wired with a relay and dash switch, as it is the one used most of the time anyways... at least while the ac is on, or have it wired seperately to the ac if you have it, and the main controller wired to the high speed fan. Just thought Id throw this out there. The only thing I havent looked at with this is fan to water pump clearance, but it looks like it should fit judging by what I did to mine with the WJ fan I adapted.

Hmmmmmm. Good to know. I'm going to have to consider this. :idea:

I forgot to mention, the PT cruiser fan assy comes with 2 relays mounted to the housing already. The fan plugs into the relays, and the relay harness has one connector that connects to the body harness. So if you had the whole harness, it would make a fairly easy wire up I think.

I used the 94 Taurus 3.8 fan and purchased a two speed fan relay from dccontrol.com. I had to move the radiator forward about 1.0". That fan can move some air! The fan control has a small temp probe that you press into the radiator fins and has an adjustable pot for temperature on low speed.The fan fit the radiator so well I didn't even have to make brackets. You can see the fan relay mounted on the fender well
