Default electric fan joy

today i finishes my electric fan conversion and i love it! warms up quicker and cleaned up the underhood compartment. i used the flexalite 3300 fan, apparently highest cfm single fan out there. not loud at all either. i figured while i was doing stuff i upgraded my alternater to a 130amper cs. anyone else considering the electric fan route i say go for it, this was one of my favorite mods i did.

Just Did mine and I agree warms up way quicker. I used the F.F.Dynamics3600 CFM 30 amp re-lay and 100 amp alt .How far if any does youe amp meter move with that fan ?Mine will almost peg then drop back to 15+ to the right.
Where did you get your feed for the fan from the alt ,Batt.or the starter wire ?
Not the re-lay but the power to the fan?
Mine is to the starter wire and I think Im moving it to the Battery direct.

relay is integrated in the 'module' feed from ignition hot in fuse box, and alternator. thermostat in rad core and voltage always at 14.5v fan is actually hardly noticable over engine niose.
