Oizarod115 Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 so i was at ye olde junkyard yesterday and noticed (3 waggys with f&r axles and springs 2 d44 combos, 1d44/amc20) and a Jtruck with locking hubs/full width axles) but thats another story. :brows: jy here is a GOLD MINE for em. i was walkin round lookin through stuff and found this..! its a dual electric fan setup from a 94-97 dodge intrepid (and a whole lot of other cars) and said...MINE! well the fan motor as you can see is BIG. ~5.5" deep and the shroud is 15" tall, factory space is 12.5"~3" so i definately had NO space there. flipped the fans over so the big motor was on the PSpump side, and cut down the shroud, moved the radiator 1.5" forwards, and the motor for the fan sits with a nice 1/4" of space between it and anything else next to the waterpump pulley. ill get some pics of it in the truck tomorrow, didnt have to worry about mounting them or bolting down cause the factory peice that goes over the rad. and the bottom crossmember there wedge them in perfect. fans draw HELLA amps though, +20 somehting i know the small one draws 5a the big one more than 15a truck runs alot cooler at idle, still have to buy a thermostat-style-switch to control the main one, for now theyre both switched throuhg a relay on a single switch, but the plan is to wire the main one on a thermostat switch with the ignition powering it, and the smaller on the switch i have in the dash. i have no clue on the CFM rating of these, but they work :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comancheon33 Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I ran the same fan set up on my 81 El Camino. It kept my temps right in line and fit almost perfect. I wired mine with the cheap control kit made by Hayden. Bought it @ Oreillys for like 30 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I tried to get one of those but never found an intrepid in the junkyard. So I used taurus fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I use dual camaro 3.8 fans...the engine never overheats anyways, but the pair of them are MASSIVE so its nice to have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oizarod115 Posted June 26, 2007 Author Share Posted June 26, 2007 I tried to get one of those but never found an intrepid in the junkyard. So I used taurus fans. do you happen to know the CFM on them or anything? i found this set already pulled :brows: then another set with a little surface rust on the motor already pulled nearby, then about 40956 other intrepids. that jy is HUGE wired the fan up through an extra relay i had layin around with 12g wire powering it, should be plenty big don't ya think? worst thing was the jeep wouldnt crank this morning.. and i fought with it for a while, finally decided it had to be the battery terminals, it was. cut the wires off, stripped em, and put new ends on cranks right up i hate corrosion :headpop: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 No idea on the CFM. But with the both of them on high, small animals and young children get sucked into my grille. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oizarod115 Posted June 26, 2007 Author Share Posted June 26, 2007 No idea on the CFM. But with the both of them on high, small animals and young children get sucked into my grille. the CFM on ford taurus dual fans should be 4500 or something which is WAY more than enough. (go-jeep does a writeup on them) i asked on naxja hopin intrepidxj would post up, cause he builds/races intrepids iirc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zjrog Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I don't know the cfm on the Intrepid fans, but I know they moved a lot of air in my 94 Concorde. I was always amazed how hot that 3.5 liter V6 got, without overheating. I might even swap that set into my ZJ if I can find those fans... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oizarod115 Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 what do yall suggest for a thermal switch for these fans? I'm lookin at runnin the main fan off a thermal switch and an in cab kill switch, with the other fan used as aux. i drove the truck about 300mi this week on the interstate, figured out 50+ i really don't need the fans at all so thats what the kill switch will pretty much be for is high speed driving, unless theres some way i cuold wire the fan to auto-shutoff at speed (which would be completely sweet if anyone knows how) what temp do you suggest for the range on the switch? i was thinkin 190 on 170 off?
