Correctly designed and installed electric fans work better than engine driven fans in engine cooling and A/C performance. and im referring to "Proper" electric fans not cheap fans or copies.The cheap ones won't cool the car in summer.
darrenwilson,
i also installed an electric fan and got rid of the mechanical fan two weeks ago.Car runs very well and no overheating issues.engine bay is considerably quiet as fan only goes on when temps goes 85 and turns off when under 80.
Thermo switch was installed on bottom part of radiator (like most oem thermoswitches) where the tap to release the water was.
I also put on a new water pump and thermostat.Maybe check if ur water pump is in good condition.
Is ur fan running a fuse?its a gud idea to run one to avoid wiring harness getting hot if ever the fan didn't work correctly.
and did u get the radiator flushed while installing the thermo switch?
and as stated by unfamilia, confirm air is going in right direction.my fan can run both ways but what dictates the direction of airflow is how you do the wiring.
I also went thru ur build.awesome work.i noticed u used zip ties.id recommend "padding" the fan so when it moves it doesn't damage the radiator fins.i also used bolts but again they have "padded" washers.This also let me install the fan and radiator as one unit even though i had to modify the front abit.il post some pics wen i get on my comp at home.
Nothing to do with cooling, but also try to add a couple neutral wires from the negative terminal of battery to different engine parts.i.e one to the alternator bolt. and if you can, get the neutral wire ones from german made cars as opposed to jap cars.It improves how the engine performs.
