Just finished setting up a pair of junkyard electric fans. These came off a 2004 Nissan Altima and fit like a glove. They are essentially 3-speed as they can be wired up different ways. I have them wired up on the middle speed. We'll see how they work. They come on with the ignition on. Fans cost me $50 but it's better than what was on there.

I wouldn't recommend electric fans as the stock clutch fan pull more air and is more reliable than electric but I didn't have the stock parts to put on the car and junkyards want a premium for lexus parts. But if you want a nice set of OEM fans, these work well

 

nice i run a set of lt1 camaro fans with a slightly modified shroud and just a thermostatic relay. whole set up cost me 30 bucks. the camaro fans work very well and actually pull more cfm than the flex-a-lite 220's but they take up more room than your altima fans. very clean set up you have

 

Fits like a glove huh.... 2004 Altima? Nice.... You probably would want to put some kind of thermostat controlled with those. You don't want them to always be "ON" and drain your battery.

 

They fit well for being from a different car. There are cheaper alternatives out there but I was in a pinch and thought these might work.

They're not wired to be always on. They come on when the ignition is on.

You could install a thermostat switch, but I'm not going to.

 

totaly there are few members that are rocking the ALtima fans already i think its a sweet *** upgrade in te engine compartment looks oem. I havent been to the junk yard yet but as soon as I get to one I will be getting a set my self. How did you wire them in like what wiresdid you tap for power ? could you do a little quick write up i see u have some relays in place ?

 

It's pretty simple so you should have no problem figuring it out.

I used one 30amp relay for each fan and a 30amp fuse for each relay.

There are four wires out of each fan. This is where it's kind of tricky. I lucked into the wiring on the first fan and went by stock wire colors (I had the pigtails for the fans).

There are basically two + and two - wires on each motor. There are three combinations that work:

Hook up one + and one -, low speed
Hook up two + and one -, medium speed
Hook up two + and two -, high speed

Here is a relay diagram for you to use if you don't already have one:



Looking down on the fans like I have them installed, the two wires closets to the engine are + and the two wires closest to the radiator are -

Hope this helps

Also, this is by no means a clean install to my standards. It was quick and I didn't put much time into it. My blue car has a much cleaner setup.

 

Oh ya, I tapped into the diagnostic box for the 12v switched. You can see the wire running to it. Not sure what the wire was called but its black/red.

 

thanks for this write bro and the diagram I really appreciate it i will post up pics once i get the fans thanks again.....

 

thats handy information..heading to a junk yard tomorrow to see what I can find.

 

thanks for this. im doing flex-a-lite fans tho.

 

Did you get these off the 6 cyl?

 

clean setup
