My engine bay is very hot and I wanna help keep it cooler, I was looking at the flex a lite Black Magic Electric Fan and was wondering if anyone is running one and what do they think of it.

Will a new e fan help keep it all cooler and be better then the stock fan blade?

Thanks and feel free to give any input

 

I run the 180 Extreme, one of the best mods I've ever done...

 

The cost:benefit ratio, and simplicity of diy install of efans makes them easily the most satisfying single mod I've done.

 

hey drew, I'm thinking about a pusher on my Grand Cherokee after I finish the engine rebuild. It likes to run about 15-20* hot in traffic with the A/C on. You see any significant difference with a pusher???

 

I really don't have anything to compare it to, to be frank.. this is my first efan rig..

That said, one pushes one pulls in my rig.. they overlap about four inches or so.. they are identical fans, and rated for 2750cfm in pull, 2400cfm in push..

There is a curious thing about ratings, though, that should be mentioned: those cfm's are rated in conditions we'll rarely if ever see.. they are adequate for my purposes, and that's all I really know..

If it means anything, the radiator is consistent in temperature from one side to the other, just not top to bottom.. that is as it should be though..

I doubt you'll have any issues with a pusher.. you just maybe need to get one slightly higher rated (but that is according to theory)...

 

Problem with the GC is room, the top/bottom curve of the grill has it literally a fraction of an inch from the radiator, but there is about a foot in the middle with about 2 3/4" of clearance. Was thinking of mounting two 10" pushers side by side and just wiring them to a hot ignition source. Being in Florida and south GA. too cool will never be an issue so I don't mind them running all the time the GC is running. Because it's been said my dropped valve seat could have been caused by running only 20* hot over 100k miles may have caused the issue, I'm just looking at an easy way to bring that temp down closer to a steady 195* which is about where it stays on the open highway. What's doing me in is when I'm off on the trails - running in 90* heat and only moving at maybe 5 mph, it wants to settle in at about 210-215*.

I'm debating on a couple of tricks, going 60/40 water to coolant is usually good for about 5* or so over using a 50/50 mix, a bottle of Water Weter/Purple Ice/Flex-Cool/etc. is usually good for 5-8* too. Might do a combo or even both with the pusher fans and see what I get...

 

Heck yeah that pusher will be better... That would absolutely drop the temps in those conditions..

I'd pull the trigger on that fast like.. and never look back.. you should absolutely drop 15~20* in that kind of environment.
