how much cfm?

[ram15]

I've been looking around trying to find a e-fan but I'm not sure how much cfm I'm gonna need. I live on the coast but sometimes I go to the Sacramento valley which can get into the triple digits. I found a kit on eBay that claims 5000 cfm. Would that be enough, I'm not sure how much my 360 needs.

the most the better, but look at amperage pull, that will be your issue.

the ones im looking at are 11 amp pull, is that too high for fans.

3000+cfm should be good. i am running 2 fans with a total of 4600cfm. thats way over kill. but boost makes me run a little warmer than most.

ok cool, i should be fine with these ones i was looking at. what do you guys think of these.

if your radiator is the same as mine, i doubt you will be able to fit 14 inch+ fans. the biggest i could fit was 2 12 inch fans.you might want to do some measuring. i made a custom shroud for mine. you get the best pull from efans when they are a couple inches away from your rad and in some type of shroud.that way they draw air across the whole rad instead of just where the fans are.

and watch out buying no name brand fans. the motors wont last you very long. i am running permacool fans. flexalite makes good ones too. thats just a couple brands that i know are good. sure there are others.

I installed a pair of fans from a Ford Taurus <hey they gota be good for something right??> with a custom fan shroud/mount and a controller from Summit Hayden Automotive 3647 - Hayden Electric Fan Controls - Overview - SummitRacing.com fans cost me $45, relay $40 and metal from Lowe's for shroud/mount about $25 when I got done with all the little screws and stuff.
