Custom Radiator Fan & Shroud?

For some reason, i cant remember any manufacturer names for custom radiator fans & shrouds, i tried google, but the searches were all over the ing place.

Anyone know any? It doesnt matter, Canada or the US, as long as it's not overseas.

Ebay has lots of them, just watch the CFM. And pray that the fan doesnt short circuit and turn off when going WOT.

Only a Supra owner would worry about an electric fan dying a full throttle. Most cars are usually travelling at a high rate of speed when going WOT, making the fan useless... but I guess when you're car only sees WOT on a dyno...

Wrong there bro.

Actually at very high speeds you need the fan to be on and spinning. I've learned that with my car on spirited drives. Disconnet your fans and go for a WOT run and see what happens.

I have the twin elec flexalite fans and they were wired not to stay on all the time. My water temps got pretty warm when driving hard (with the stock rad) because the fans weren't running all the time and I literally had to pull over and let the fan cool things down for a couple of minutes. Having a 4 row I/C doesn't help either due to the air not being able to flow as well through the rad. Put an aftermarket alum rad in and having the fans wired to stay on all the time elimiated the problem.

That's what happens when your car makes real power.....
