pushgo Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Hey guys, Just joined the Forum...I need some advice...I need to have my radiator fan motor clutch replaced...some one told me that I can have after market electric fan installed...any ideas of where I can find one and would this fully keep my car from overheating...I use my AC in summer a must...if this isnt a viable suggestion what would you suggest? btw...my car is a 1986 Turbo N9TE Thanks P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bean Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Your car has an electro-magnetic fan clutch, and if it's no longer working it's most likely the fan brush that gives the 12V to the brass ring, or it's the rad temp sensor, or the wiring in either of those. I have gutted the stock system, and wired the wire that used to run to the brush, to a 16" electric sucker fan. Clearance can be an issue, but it does fit. Worked very well for me like that. pics of August's install One thing to note was that I located my fan to the driver side of the car and it fit with a wee bit of clearance, but that was with the pulley on it gutted.

Rabin Rabin, thanks for the info...with the aftermarket set up, were you still able to use the ac? The reason I ask is I have spoken to a few people who have done some aftermarket mods and they arent able to use their ac's...I live in an area where the summers are very HOT and not having my AC isnt an option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bean Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 There's a second AC "pusher" fan on the front, so when replacing the stock electromagnetic fan, if done right - everything will work as designed. When it's really hot both the sucker and the pusher fan will be operating. If you size it well and get a nice 16" fan and your rad is in good shape - you should have no issues at all with cooling. I'd also make sure your electrical system is in good shape as well as there will be a fairly decent load on a hot day with the AC and the fans running, so pay attention to battery cables and grounds. So what kind of Cayanne are you driving? A buddy has an 06 Turbo and that thing is unbelievable. Rabin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pushgo Posted January 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Rabin, Thanks for your good info...my rad is in great shape as I had it replaced 2 years ago and have it flushed every change of season...Battery cables are in excellent shape as well...As for my Cayanne, I bought it last year brand new. I had it ordered with all the bells and whistles: Turbo S I love it and it is sicken fast! and a RAGING good time to drive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bean Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 That's a damn sweet ride! The Cayanne is nice too... lol My buddies 06' was unbelievable - andI never would have believed how good it was had I not experienced it. Brakes, acceleration, cornering - everything about it just seemed to defy the laws of physics! He also had an 07' 911 Carrera but last I heard he had sold both cars - not sure what he's thinking of now. Kinda cool that the 505 Turbo is still a car you have as well - and are still keeping in great shape. Rabin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love my 2 cars...Mom and Dad taught my sister and I growing up that when you get something whether pay $1.00 or $1,000,000.00 for it you take care of it as best you can cause you may never have the privalege of getting something like ever again...In other words NEVER take anything for granted...So yeah with my cars I care for them as best I can. this is my LOVED PUG! I think she's rather stunning if you ask me! I have manys upgrades plans for her to make her EVEN more of a one of a kind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
