Electric fan not comming on. (sr20det swap)

[HoosierDrifter]

ive had the car running long enough to get up to running temperature.... but not more than 15 minutes at a time.... never has the electric fan came on. is there any wiring i need to do because of the different harness? or is it plug and play?

Mine never came on either. when I first got it running on a independent temp switch / relay I drove it around for 3-4 days before it went off when I was sitting in traffic.

that was on a stock KA radiator... Now I have a Koyo... I want to go back to the mechanical because I dont care about 2% HP and I think it cleans up the engine bay

just connect youre fans direct so everytime youre car is on the fans will always be on and you wont have a problem with them not comming on.

Wire your fan to a toffle switch in your interior. Its very easy but dont forget to turn them on im traffic

Eh. lots of people with electrics on SRs have overheating issues. Plus I like the way the Mechanical Fan looks in there... theres no big gap in the engine bay.

sure it looks nice, waite til the baringz in that fan go out... by by shinny expensive koyo !

Yeah electric fans are way better, more efficient and look better. O ya its been like 95 degrees here and my sr has not overheated and i have a 14" electric fan!!!!

Hmmmmm:

Mechanical fan: Free becuase it came with the car. Plus it works great.

FAL fan(s): roughly $200 the last time I checked in Summit.

I wonder....

It costs more, but obviously worsk better, it's like saying "stock 15" rims look ok and are free, or go buy 16x9 +10 TE-37s".

i got my nissan MAXIMA 1989 fan for 10$....
one hour and 2 fuse and one relay later...

2 wonderfull fans insted of my loose cluch fan.

Look my friends, I checked out my cooling system on a Techtom. Water temps stayed @180*-178* on a 90* summer day in Fl as I idled for 20 min in construction. So once again, this upgrade is purely cosmetic.

Hey kids, wanna upgrade your cooling system? Here's an idea. Save that ~$200 for a FAL fan, put +$150 with it, and buy a Koyo radiator. The stock KA radiator is the weak point in its cooling system.

With all of your input thus far, I have done 234,569 things wrong but my car still runs very well and boosts fine everyday. I should not be modifying cars.....

[leestewart]

Wow $200 for a FAL. Thats crazy autozone has 14" electric fans for $89 and they seem to be pretty good to me. I have a 14" on my current and I had 2 12"'s on my Z. Never have I had a car overheat with electric fans running!!!

i still have the clutch fan in my car and every time i do autocross, my car overheats, i dont like how the the clutch fan looks in there

2 1/2 year old thread man but yeah i think everyone agrees that electric are better than the mechanical, just that its $200 for a luxury if ur not running at high temps.
