Anyone know of a somewhat simple way to measure airflow of various radiator fans?
I saw this thread:
Electric Cooling Fan CFM Rating Tests - DirtBound Offroad - NAXJA Forums -::- North American XJ Association
I could swing the money on one of those meters (http://inspectusa.com/mannix/DCFM8906.pdf)
but I'm a bit more anal about accuracy.
Then I thought about using something like a GM airflow sensor (with a makeshift ducting cone tunnel thing) but don't think they measure high enough according to ECMtuning:
maffrequencylimits [ECMTuning - wiki]
I'm trying to figure out what brands are stretching their specs (not trying to harsh on any brand however- just wanting to get the best flow)
