Thread: Kenlowe 17in Electric Fan Kit

Hi

I see Davies, Craig have a 16" in fan with an airflow of 2120 CFM, which is only slightly less than the 17" Kenlowe at 2207 CFM.

DCSL16 INCH FAN KIT (12 VOLT) PART No: 0066

They both say you can save around 8.5% on your fuel bill, they cool the engine better in slow traffic and of course they run after the engine is switched off as well

The Davies Craig is around the $200.00 mark, I think I will email them and ask if anyone has ever fitted one to a P38

It's not hard to set up - I run twin Davies Craig fans on my Torana.

Another relay, some wires and trigger off your temp outlet.

The hard part is the bracketry, and making sure you can override it when you want.

Excuse my ignorance on this matter but wouldn't it be easier to use the air con fans and have a manual override switch to activate them as suggested elsewhere. Or is the fan you're referring to, something else altogether?

Just read about them and their intent. Isn't one concern with the p38, the under bonnet temp and the harm that temp does to ancillary stuff.

Doesn't the belt driven fan help with the ambient temp under the bonnet?

Hi,

The electric fan is actually better because it will keep running after the engine is switched off and cool the engine bay.

You remove the manual fan completely, this is where the fuel savings come from since all fans are pretty irrelevant above about 50kph where the Ram effect takes over.

Agreed.

Best fuel saving initiative out there! They rob a few ponies those belt driven fans!

Hi

Another thing is that I would imagine that at 1500 RPM in low range the electric fan would provide much better cooling than the belt driven one

Paddocks have them at GBP135 at present. Order 3 and share the shipping?

I'll get a quote.
