Electric fan

[83 5oh]

Just thought i'd ask you guys and see what you all think is the best electric fan kit to use. I looked at the JDM kit and it seems pretty well put together. I was also wondering about the electric water pump. Is it worth it? To round this off will be the gordsford H/E. I don't know what to do about the radiator if i should leave it or get something else. So lets see what ya'll think.

i wouldnt waste my money, theres too many issues and its cost isnt worth the performance it claims

I bought an electric kit and used the fans from an LS1 Camaro and they work awesome. Oh and you also have to make your own brackets but that was not a big deal at all.

I have the LFP kit and have had no issues. I guess there were some issues with the relays before, but I have been told they fixed it. As for the electric water pump, I wouldn't do it especially on a truck that is driven regularly. Mostly becaus eof the greater chances of an electric pump failing over a mechanical pump.....

LSx fans FTMFW. Had them for almost a year and a half with no issues at all.

What are you guys controlling the LSX fans with?

so the best bet so far is the LSx fans? about how much did the whole deal run you guys that went with those?

I just got the JDM fan kit and its definitely the most well put together kit ive seen.Comes with everything you need,and a very easy to understand installation instructions.The relays and wiring has been changed since they had issues,i also did a 04 navigator water pump with it.

I put my own kit together. The fan is from a Lincoln Mark VIII and pulls a LOT of air. The fan controller is a soft start from Flex-a-Lite.
JDM uses some cheap ass 'L' brackets, I used a aluminum ring to seal off the egdes inbetween the stock shroud and the electric fan. 0 problems to this day.

im running the fans off my 95 TransAm and they work great, i have a set of LS fans somewhere that im gonna upgrade to and see how they do. wish i had some pics b/c its clean.

JDM Electric Fan Kit here.... Only thing I notice is that when I turn my A/C on my fuel pressure gauge dips for a second and when my headlights are on, they dim for a second when the fan kicks on. I replaced my battery and it still hasn't fixed the dip in power. Other than that the fan kit is great.

went with the LFP kit and put the toggle switch inside the cab and switch it on when I am in the cooldown lane.

Did the same thing as "PhLoBus."

Did the same thing as "PhLoBus."

+2 The JDM kit and LFP kit are pretty much the same kit..

I have the LFP fan. When we installed it we did extensive dyno testing on it. I have an article written about it and will post it in the next couple weeks.
