i think its just a matter of riping the clutch fan and slide the thermos in, but i'm not sure

lol ^^ If you don't know then why post ? It's not a matter of just riping the clutch fan out and putting thermos in, if it was then what would power them ?

Bakes - there is a guide on how to do this mod on www.e-series.com.au I think Neb wrote it. That should explain everything you need to know.

well tha5t is what i was told, it was easy and all you did was slide the EF-EL ones in and drill some more hols to mount them :P , mind you i was told by some pimple face storeman at an auto store.

Yeah, like cruzin'dickwad'eb said, just rip the clutch fan out, and slide the thermo's in.

Oh, and while you're at it, you also need a temp sensor, then a thermal switch to turn the thermo's on when the coolant gets to a certain temp. I haven't done the mod, but i know roughly what's required. I'm sure someone who's done the mod will be more than happy to explain in depth.

Where can i get a temp/thermal sensor from im just about to do the this weak end but im useing au thermos

ReGiE · 01-12-2005, 08:49 PM

u can get the thermo switch from super crap or anuwhere. thats where i got mine from.
i used EL thermos they bolt straight in to my EB radiator. ive been told that EF ones are variable speed controlled by the ECU. so they may not work with a thermoswitch

they all work.
even au ones
and yeah get one of them universal thermo switches from autobahn with the little copper bit u tweak into your top radiator hose.

then use that to earth the power to the thermo fans when it gets to the desired temp (like 96deg or somethin)

Do you have to have the sensors?

Yes you do or the Fans will not work? You could just wire them up and have them going ALL the time but that would defeat the purpose.
