Oh, took the golf cart out for a Sunday stroll.

E-fan install was a success, but the desired result was not.

At highway speed, the coolant temps are higher. Only guess is at higher speeds, the fan is creating a blockage and stalling the air through the rad. Didn't have this problem with the fan clutch, but it is always locked on.

2 steps forward.......

FC Zach · 02-20-2017, 12:43 PM

Diameter of fan?
Shroud?
Controller?

Don't know. Half an FD aftermarket set up.
None (didn't have one with fan clutch either, broken)
Hayden adjustable temp with probe (giggity)

FC Zach · 02-20-2017, 01:33 PM

There's no reason it should be overheating with a controller and no shroud, regardless of fan size.

Edit: meant to say "at interstate speeds", driving around town is a different story.

Yes and no. At highway speeds, the air coming though the rad might be faster and have more volume than what the fan can achieve. What this does is stall the air around the fan, almost like creating a wind blocker, instead of flow. Now, if I set the fan 'on' temp higher, the normal airflow at highway speed should keep the fan from turning on, thus freewheeling and NOT hampering air flow.

I'm going to up the temp at which is comes on and see what happens. Right now it is set to come on at 180, which is too low.
