Anyone have a writeup on an Efan mod with the HHR or any other fan? Wondering how hard this mod will be, as well as cost.

I looked in the Sticky Notes section, but there were only pictures with no real writeup. guess i was looking for part numbers used (or vehicle callout) and wiring diagrams. Just the Eningeer in me.

Designer, Summit has a wiring kit that taps into the top radiator hose for $30-40 then just find an HHR fan.


Btw Welcome to the 3rd Gen Dak Section!

Thanks for the welcome.

I'll look at the summit site in a little.

I'm a mechanical engineer. So alot of the modifications being done on here interest me. The Heim tie rod end was impressive.
I work for International Automotive Components (IAC) but I work at Honda Research and Development.

I'm currently working on a lock center box for my center console. Once I get it modeled I'll mock one up and them make it.

I like the ideal of the summit switch, I might be able to replace the current thermostat sending unit or braze a new screw point into the radiator. Either way it might be the easiest. I'm not trying to squeeze every HP out of my truck, so I don't really need to control the on/off cycle other then to set it to factory.

How much HP are we really talking about anyway.... 1 or 2? I might not even do it for that little of a gain. still have to decide on headers and exhaust before I start squeezing...lol
