Thanks for being so helpful. I really think fans should be a bigger topic on these cars but it takes money to experiment and of course a volunteer lol.
Can i ask what made you decide to go with that fan? Did you look at any other ones?

I wanted something with a shroud. I really didn't want to just zip tie or use whatever those kits come with on ebay and such that go through the radiator. I also wanted the most professional look I could get. Plus I have always been the type to say well no one has tried it, lets give it a shot. I am happy with the result. I did look at flexalite radiator fans but there were no shrouds. I like shrouds because when the fan is turned on it sucks air through the entire radiator. Sure it might "slow down" flow when on the free way... But the radiator itself slows air down enough where the shroud will not inhibit the air flow anymore (in my mind at least)

I am still curious about what you mean by they should send me a check? Did I do something right? or did they do something wrong haha. Sorry between school and work I almost have no free time. except being on these forms of course

Also here is their warranty info from v12's website. from what I have gather since I bought these past the date of January 2007 I have a lifetime warranty until I sell my 944 (it will never happen) and as long as I don't race in the thing

It is at the bottom of the page.

By send you a check i mean put you on the payroll and yes doing a lot right. Been reading through your electric water pump build. Very interesting.

I misread the warranty. I thought it meant NO lifetime after that date. It was 4 am.....

Wonder how your car would run and dyno with Rogues N-Tune with your other custom mods.

That's for experimenting and sharing this. The original fans are so heavy and bulky. Good solution, great work!

One question: Did they bolt up to the original shroud mounting holes without any modding?

MAGK944

^^^ That's = Thanks, stupid iPhone predictive text.

Nashio

Yes they have 6 tabs that line up with the holes for the shroud. I quiet literally lifted it up and screwed it in.

I will note when I first got it and had it sitting side by side it looked like the same depth. However about half an inch sinks in. What I mean encloses in the radiator to get a nice seal. I think it is for all the air to be pulled from the radiator instead of having some air be pulled from the sides.

Edit: I dunno why I said tabs.... the radiator has tabs. The fans are mounted to the shroud which have the holes lined up for the tabs.

Nashio

Thanks haha. I just do this stuff to tinker. I enjoy experimenting. I dunno how it would do on a dyno I would hope to hit the 150 whp mark. At least, but I can say when I first got my 944 it only got 19-20 mpg and now I get 28-30 mpg

interesting. what is the weight difference between these and a stock 2 fan setup?

Nashio

I didn't have a scale to take weight of the fans at the time. However to get a number if someone wants to weigh their 3 blade fan set up, I will weigh my v12's this weekend and we can do the math.

Holding the stock and v12 fans in each hand, it felt like half the weight. But I doubt that is a good way to measure weight haha.

MAGK944

FYI single 6 blade fan & motor is 4 lbs. About 10 lbs total for shroud and both fans.

Nashio

alright looks like this weekend I am going to take off my fans and weigh them.

szabon

what else did you do? that's a massive jump in mpg, and I doubt the fans did it.....

Nashio

I changed my ignition system to a nology coil, nology hotwires and halo plugs. That got me to 24-25 mpg. I then removed the A/C and Powersteering. And then changed the mechanical water pump to an electrical one so there is a lot less drag on the crank.
