Bean Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 I'd highly recommend converting to a sucker electric only fan instead of the factory magnetic clutch fan. It's an aweful lot of weight spinning on the water pump, so if you eliminate that load on that shaft WP should last a lot longer. The wire that is used to trigger the clutch fan can be used as the + wire for the electric fan - and nothing is lost. A temp controlled electric fan that's a better in many ways than the factory magnetic set up. SPAL has a good name with fans, but there's lots to choose from. If you really wanted to stay OEM - have you checked that the brush that feeds the electromagnetic fan is there and working? Every one I've fixed has been the brush - or the wiring. Unless some yahoo tightened it down or worse yet welded it solid. Rabin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted February 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 the motor its self is fine, the blades got sheared off in the accident when the old radiator was pushed into it. the guy I have doing the work suggested an electric fan as well... maybe I should do that. thank you for the tip!

Bean Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Well - if it's just the fan blade then that should be the way cheaper option. Three 10mm nuts and you're done. If it were me I'd likely just replace the fan. If you find yourself in a pinch I have a spare - but it'd be shipping from Canada that would kill the deal. The better solution is the electric fan, but to do it right you should remove as much of the electromagnetic fan hub as possible so that it was essentially a pulley only.

Rabin java script:emoticon('',%20'smid_3') I have a complete 2.2 turbo engine for sale. It has the fan and hub and three nuts. also has the trans attached and is strapped to a pallet. It is on ebay now over this weekend. Also have a 87 turbo car. Interior is stripped, head is off and cracked but repairable. no inter-cooler. good trunk with spoiler. also have a new beck/arnley water pump for turbo. have an 87 STX on ebay now and an STX low mileage engine on ebay. Slimming down on my stuff let me know your needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just need to wire up a relay. found out the hard way that a 2.2 radiator doesn't work for my car >.< inlet pipe is on the wrong side. le sigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems my fan clutch has stopped working and figured I would try an electric. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
