How Many Colling Fans??

[ECLIPSEGST25]

I Have 2 Slim Cooling Fans On My Car. 14' And A 12'. Each Puts Out About 1800-2000 Cfm. Now Since I Have A Front Mount It's Harder For Cool Air To Get To The Radiator. Should I Put 1 More Fan In Front Of The Radiator To Push More Air Into The Radiator To Give It More Cooling. The Other 2 Fans Are Pulling. Because They Don't Make Cooling Plates For The Eclipses. Or Is Their Anything Else I Can Do?

Ok first off, one thread is enough. Second are you having problems with over heating? If so where do you over heat(at idle, crusing under 30, or highway/beating on your car)?

Capital letters should be reseved for the beginning of each sentence not each word. It is so hard to read with all of the capital letters.

No L'm not over heating but i have read some forums and i just want to prevent it from happening.

If you're not overheating then don't trip. I have a front mount with stock fans and it's all good for me.

 

[Scott_S]

Exactly, if your not overheating you dont need to worry about it, cooling fans only work under 30mph anyway.

i drove to my boys house this weekend and the temp didn't pass 180F. i have the thermastat in but i do have both of my upgraded fans funning all the time.

Sooooooo then whats the problem ?

 

[Scott_S]

cooling fans arent even on over 30mph

 

[Burnett03]

cooling fans arent even on over 30mph

said who? you?

 

[Scott_S]

What would be the point of them running over that mph? The fans couldn't pull or push any more air over the fins of the radiator than the air coming into it because of the speed you are going so it would be pointless.

I would assume that if you have a front mount, then an AC condenser decreasing a decent bit of that airflow, that it would help a significant amount. But I would like to reiterate that I assume.

I'll let you know after I wire both of my fans to run all of the time to attempt to fix my problem of temps rising over 60mph (for an increased amount of time)

If you aren't literate you probably shoudn't be modding a DSM.

You guys are so harsh.

honestly you can get away with one fan of that cfm range and you will still be good just make sure they are pushing or pulling the air the proper direction twords the engine.. and defeintly remove your ac condensor.. ive had multipule dsm's with fmic's and ive never ever experienced an over heating issue even when its around 98-100 deg locally so usually there is a fault somewhere else thats causeing the issue..

 

[playitlouddsm]

You should have no problem with overheating if your cooling system is in good condition. I'm running 1 stock fan that kicks on when my temp hits 175 degrees, and i have a 3" thick fmic. My temps stay right at 200 all the time. Oh yeah i also have a koyo radiator too.

i've had 4 eclipses and my slowest one ran a 12.8 @107 mph daily driver. So i think i k now what i'm doing.

If there is no problem, then there is nothing to fix.

Two cooling fans is plenty. In many cases, one is enough.
