Fans go whoosh
So I need to replace the factory viscous fan on the Jeep as it's about as useful as a lesbian with a condom. I have a pair of standard fto radiator fans at home that I was thinking of wiring up, but just wanted to see if anyone knew the CFM output of the standard fans?
If this works, I'll finally have something from an fto in one of my cars.

I'll have an FTO one day... i swear!

Re: Fans go whoosh
Hmmm, unsure of the cfm.
Having said that, there was a thread a while ago on the Magna forums about craig davis fans vs oem, and the equivalent sizes.
In the end the oem output more, the craig davies was simply the slimline and lightweight factor.
So if you base the sizes from CDs, and add I think 15-25% more output, there's your rough answer.
Again, this is going back some time ago, around the time when I started my turbo conversion on the wagon. (2007?)

Re: Fans go whoosh
Can't even compare OEM fto fans and Davies Craig. The only reason Davies Craig can't draw as much as air is because its not mounted to a shroud that's pulling the air from the entire radiator. However I think you can go very large in the Davies Craig, so id just go with that.
