RedRider3141 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I tried doing a search but it didn't bring up anything, which doesn't mean anybody hasn't done it. I was thinking of using this PDF as a starting point but I wasn't sure what the CFM was of the stock VQ35 Fan. Anybody have some tips? http://www.mysporttr...EFanInstall.pdf:clickdalink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOT Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Stock CFM is in 3000 area My dual 14" setup is a squeeze but works amazing, auto turns on and off based on temp probe switch which is easy to wire, 180 on 170 off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRider3141 Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 Thanks for the info, that's exactly the setup I was thinking about. I may add a manual override just for the heck of it so I can turn it on or off if needed. Was your fan from a donor vehicle or aftermarket?

WOT Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Ya I have a manual override switch aswell My fans were brand new slim fans with 1600cfm each I believe. Ive seen people be very successful with the the ford taurus electric fan to, which is a little thicker than most slimfans, but packs a whopper of some cfm's and is cheap cheap at junkyards. I think I only paid $120 for my fans and auto on/off kit. A proper shroud would help alot in effectively cooling the entire rad surface, but my car seems to cool fine and the fans barely turn on. And I like the huge ammount of space you gain getting rid of that huge shroud and fan and get rid of the hand eating deathtrap lmao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRider3141 Posted March 12, 2011 Author Share Posted March 12, 2011 Well it turns out a guy at work is selling a Flex-a-lite model 210 NIB. Only problem is that it is only 2500 CFM, says it is rated for up to 250HP... How sure are you that the stock fan is 3000 CFM? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/FLX-210/?rtype=10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
