need electric fan components

[QWKSNKE]

My car is running warmer than it needs to since it has turned warm for the year.

Paul, do you have any contacts to pick me up a working Mark VIII fan or a 3.8 taurus? Supposedly the Lincoln fans flow up to 4300 cfm and the 3.8 taurus is around 3500-3800 cfm.

I am also looking into getting a controller from http://www.dccontrol.com/. This is suppose to eliminate any need for relay's and such. After reading about it, seems like it would be a good setup.

Hey Lee what temp therostat you running in the cobra? Was wondering cause I'm running the 160 in the gt and my temp gauge never gets above the n just and option to try unless you just wanted the fan....

180. Never had a problem until I mounted that 3" thick intercooler in front of the radiator. I am pretty sure it cut down my cooling air flow

Lee - go with the Taurus fan - you'll have a bitch of a time fitting with the mk8. I had to move my rad/condensor forward 2" to clear the mk8 - it's a big mama jama.

DEFINITELY go with the DCC, you and your alternator will be glad you did. It runs the fan only as fast as it needs to run to keep the car at the set temp. In other words, it converts the fan into an infintitely variable speed fan.

My car was always a little hot blooded after my h/c/i stuff. After my mk8/dcc/frpp rad. conversion, I have finally gotten to where I only look at the temp gauge half as much as I used to.

I run a 180tstat and have the dcc jumpered at 187°. It MUST be set higher than the tstat temp, or it gets "confused".

If you would like to see pix of my mods I made to fit it all in, let me know. I have them, they are just not hosted anywhere.

Will do. Already have a taurus fan lined up

Lee...you can try my Mark VIII fan when it gets here....I bought one off ebay last week for the 93L.
You can also try the Taurus fan when I remove it off the 93L.

Richard,

What else do I need besides the taurus fan and controller. Do I need some type of temp sender?

[93Cobra#2771]

Nope. The DCC is self contained, and has EVERYTHING you need, down to wire ties. Follow the instructions CAREFULLY for installation - the temp sensor placement is very important (locate down near the lower rad. hose). One of the best thought out kits I have ever gotten.

Damn thing sounds awesome at startup and shutdown - like a little jet engine.

Lee, I take it you have stock pulleys right? All of them?

My 89 ran hotter in the summer when stopped when I had the underdrives. I would put the stock waterpump pulley on during the summer and it would be fine. It amazing the difference the little things make. I had stock radiator, clutch fan, waterpump, and 180 thermo.
