I think user TGRich did this mod, try PMing him

 

Hey fellas, I really do appreciate the feedback, especially vadim's post. I am glad/surprise that nobody posted bad stuff about electric fans yet. I was afraid to see several posts about how they had to go back to the clutch fan and dish out the money to get it back to oem. I guess these electric fans will be good enough for the 1jz, for those that have a clutch fan failure, electric fans are definitely a cheaper and effective fix.

 

romeo291 - hello.
Flex-a-Lite 220 is pumped maximum 7.6 m³/minute of air.
I think that the clutch fan on the SC300 maximum pump m³/minute is much less air. When the clutch fan has a maximum speed, engine 2JZGE also has great speed, engine 2JZGE actively heated, increasing t coolant (antifreeze).
Flex-a-Lite 220 + high-quality electronic switch - «Silich» - Samson: http://www.silich.ru/products/bu_evso - this is a guarantee of high quality engine cooling, regardless of the speed of rotation of engine 2JZGE and high ambient temperature.
I wish you good luck in using the Flex-a-Lite 220 on your SC300.

 

I run electric fans without an issue, but they definitely don't flow as well as the stock fan, not even close. We've had a few customers with turbo cars that weren't happy at all with electric fans. I just like the way they clean up the engine bay.

I'd recommend the SPAL dual 12" fans if you must go electric. It is the only way to fly! I have the FAL ones, but I'm telling you they are very weak.

I have used:

Flex-a-Lite 210's - They worked good.

AAP Fan Shroud w/dual Zirgo's - Worked as well as the flex-a-lite setup.

PHR Shroud w/Lexus fans from IS/GS - The Best setup period. These fans keep temps at 180 -185F with A/C on in LasVegas temps of 110 deg+.

 

im using the fans out of a Nissan stanza that are wired into a thermometer. seems to work quite well and i have yet to over heat the car or see the temperature start to rise at a drift event.

 

dual zirgo 14 fans work good. usually only need one fan on 90% of the time

 

More info please

 

OK, here's a negative post for ya...

I installed the 220's using a relay and having them controlled by my AEM (temp sensing). They cooled the car adequately even with A/C and a turbo. However, the first time they failed, the relay crapped out. Figured it was just a fluke, replaced it and went on my merry way. About two weeks later, the fans stopped working again. Well, I was 30 miles from home and it was 95 degrees outside, so driving home without them wasn't an option. Figuring it was the relay again, I bypassed it and hard wired them directly to the battery (with a fuse inline!). Well, two miles later I started seeing smoke under the hood. When I stopped to look, the wiring harness to one of the fans was burning! It seems the fan itself had failed, but the fuse didn't?!?.

Since cooling is such a critical issue, I decided I didn't trust electrical fans anymore and went back to the stock fan. Since I put in a Kyoto radiator, I didn't have room anymore for a fan shroud, but it hasn't been a problem and I haven't lost my cool since

 

I have the same setup

 

Can some body do a write up with the stanza fans, thanks.

 

This seems like the most efficient and reliable setup. Are they temperature controlled? How are you powering them up?

 

I initially had the fans switched on with a relay and temp switch located in the radiator. I have recently switched over to a PWM controller that varies the speed of each fan, and switches both fans on with the AC.

I wouldn't go with the Stanza fans, I have them and i'm changing to the IS300 fans. Dont get me wrong, they work okay, but not if you're getting ready to beat on your car in a road course. Yesterday, during HW cruising at 80, my temps stayed at 200. I'm wondering if any of the people giving reviews are actually logging or watching their coolant temps!
Anyway, the IS300 setup is the way to go, even the Supra gurus caught up on this.

 

there's a writeup on altima fans floating around here somewhere.
