ok i know there have been several threads about efans. alot of people are using either the flex a lite or taurus fans. i have been looking around and found the fan on a 08-11 dodge caravan 3.8/ chrysler t&c 3.8 has a single fan that almost fits perfect i just have to shave about an inch off the bottom and would basically be a direct bolt in.

my question is i have looked around at alot of places but i cant see to find how much air flow they put out or what kind of amperage they draw at start up or just while they are running constant. the main reason i am considering using these is cause i already have access to them at my shop. does anybody know where/or have a chart or something listed on what certain fans outputs are.

has anybody used this setup

 

how much air flow is reccommended for a 02 4.7l

 

Don't know for sure, but I expect it would be 3,000 cfm +. As for the Caravan fan being sufficient, it seems it should be. Not sure where you'd find reliable cfm stats.

 

I don't have any info on the 3.8 fan, but if it moves 2600 cfm or more you should be good. That's about what the Taurus fan moves and the Taurus fan has a pretty high amp draw, I don't think the Caravan fan would be any higher.

Try it, worst that can happen is you pull it out and spin the clutch fan back on...

 

The mounts for that fan will probably be transferable to a taurus fan if it doesn't work if you go the metal strap route. I'd say make it heavier duty wiring rather than lighter so you can step up if needed. I'm running dual 40 amp relay's to mine and it's pretty good.

To test your efan, get the motor good and hot then floor it uphill for a long stretch, tow a trailer, etc. My temp's only gone up when I'm stuck badly and on the throttle hard

 

I have the Taurus fan with a Hayden 3647 controller and it is on the slow speed and it cools mine with no issues. I do have a 180* stat but even when towing my 16ft trailer I have no issues.
