Hey, I am in the process of installing a flex-a-lite electric fan for my sc400, I figured everything out except the best way to plug or re-rout the two oil hoses leading into the stock fan. I can either plug the two lines at or near the block or connect the two hose lines together with a union. Either way is no problem, but I am wondering which way is the best? Any suggestions? It appears not many have tried this conversion yet so I am eager to finish and test and find out the true results, just have this one issue.
-Info for readers about the Flex-a-lite fan -He
It seems to me be an excellent choice, appears to be well made, reliable, and fairly easy to install with clear instructions. Has its own temperature stick and two wires ground and positive that is it. I feel confident that the fan system will not fail and overheat the car. The twin fan system believe it or not is only two inches thick and mounts right up to the radiator, with a built in scrowd, all one peice. The advantages on the box read - 10-20hp expected gains, more efficent then the stock oil driven fan for cooling. Better fuel efficiency, etc.. What it doesn't mention with this electric fan change you will also free up a lot of room for a future airforced induction application if desired. :veryhappy
partswarehouse.com is where I bought it and the price was $350 ouch!
