Champion Rad and OEM electric fans

mshred said

Hey Dude, thanks for the reply and pictures! I don't get notifications from here for some reason, but thought I would check in. Those fans looks like the perfect fit for the 26" Champion rad....almost like they were meant to be there. I have a denso 120 amp alternator, so hopefully powering the fans wouldn't be a problem. These are definitely an option to look into further. Thanks alot!

You shouldn't have a problem. It does fit well. Its about 2" narrower than the total core width and about 1" shorter. Nothing that matters much. The sides are covered with the aluminum bar, and I left the ~1" gap at the bottom which will be the coldest section of it anyway.

You should be able to get the fan for between $60-80, even on EBay.
The Controller + Relays + Maxi Fuse are about $150
and probably about another $40 for wiring and low amp fuse holders for the controller.

This fan came on a lot of cars as I have listed which are flush in junkyards, and it was made by Bosch - My uncle worked there when these were developed. This fan had to cool a 2.5L V6 with a tiny grill opening, A/C, and a single row radiator, even with the exhaust manifold about 1 1/2" behind the motor....and it had to work in Death Valley, CA. Its like a 3200cfm fan setup. There's very few comparable units out there, and especially for the money.

The low/high speed settings are very nice as it will use less electricity at low speed and keep it quiet.
