Coolant flow

most dirt cars dont run alternators, and its the only place i know of a good electric fan properly set up and wired wont work! it cause of the sustained high rpms over time! go check out a good super street class or one of the chevy crate engine class's thay all have biggest double pass aluminum radiators that fit, 1 to 1 pulleys and a fixed 4 blade fan! anything less and by end of 30 to 50 laps will be pulling in pits puking coolant!! if thay running that E85 and run up front in clean air then some will cut 2 blades off but every piece of the cooling system will be high dollar CV products and thay still 220 to 240 degrees at end of 30 laps!


The exception proves the rule. There's electric fans which outperform engine driven ones. They just don't make sense on dirt cars - no use in turning HP into electrons back into HP - just bolt the fan to the WP and be done.

There are so many super high output vehicles out there which use only electric fans and are designed for massive sustained horsepower output. To claim electric fans are somehow inferior is simply false. The few places where engine driven fans make sense don't make electric fans irrelevant.
