iv got a mishimoto rad in my sr20det s14 iv been using clutch fan but now want to tidy the bay so want to move to e fans, iv looked at the mishimoto shroud and fans but was just wondering if anyone other companies make a fan and shroud kit that is more affordable? Cheers
If u wanna install e fans and u dont want to spend money, you could take off form Nissan Almera 2.2 diesel.
Thanks for all of your advice iv found an isr kit both shroud and fans around the 100 quid mark just getting some prices shipped to the uk will put link for others once confirmed maybe useful to someone!
Is your car used for drifting or just street use? Saying that because the standard clutch fan with cowling does a great job at cooling. Seems crazy to change to e fans just for the looks imo.
electric fans or well good electric fans will rinse through your alternator ive heard. I was going to do e fans cause i didnt like clutch fan but people said clutch fan, cowling and an ali rad is all you need to stay cool. No point in changing unless you are going for a show look.
I wouldn't be pointing the finger at electric fans causing alternator issues, age causes alternator issues If an alternator can't cope with a couple of electric fans it's not the fan's fault
I wasnt saying it like I know it kills alternators. Was just suggesting that running a good electric fan eg 120+ watts around 20amps, and then 2 of them puts more strain on the alternator, just another thing to consider.
You're right that it puts more load on the alternator, but rest assured they cope just fine. From factory these cars come with air conditioning electric fans so they're designed to cope with the load. Those old air con fans were horrible units too, no where near as efficient as modern day fans.
