Putting my sierra back together and the fans look so grubby compaired to everything else. I wanna change them.
Is it just me or are the pro alloy ones or ggr ones seriously overpriced!
Saw other ones on the likes of ebay for £50. Prob the same thing or cheap crap?
Can anyone recomend aftermarket fans? Any dealings with cheaper ones etc

 

I bought set off auto specialists, complete with aluminium mounting frame £150 i recall but have been faultless well worth money IMO

 

I bought some off eBay and they were great for a week or so then it just went downhill from there, really poorly made. You get what you pay for. A mate of mine has the pro alloy fans with a frame in which they are mounted on and are faultless.

 

My dad has fitted a few aftermarket ones to his 4i(4L V8, but NON vented bonnet), tried pacet and another american brand, but within around 18 months same thing on 3 different fans, the magnets on the inside of the motor came unstuck and jammed the motor.
Fitted a Kenlowe, faultless ever since, and shifts a huge amount more air with curved vans.

I bought 12'' kenlowe fan for my old mk2 fes turbo , with the curved fins aswell, much more quieter and smoother came with a stat adj control too

 

As above I bought 2x 12" Kenlowe fans with the curved blades for my Cossie. Much quieter than standard and very good quality

 

How's your car coming Mike ?, mines getting there, Mot in around 4 weeks, straight after it's new boost hike/mapping, I sorted brackets yesterday for the power steering cooler, behind the vent hole in bumper on nearside.

I have the pro alloy fans on mine, well worth the price, fit and forget item, had them on there for over two years now and not had a problem.

 

As said its better to spend a bit than spend a little and get a shit product, have the pro alloy fan set up in my car, been installed since 2005 and still working sweet

a lot quieter and they run less current so help to stop the standard fan wiring loom from melting

multi fin curved fan blades

As far as I know mine are still the oe 23 year old ones, so had me moneys worth!!

Id stick with the STD oe fans with the shroud as Imo the fans will suck more air through the rad because of the shroud rather than just through the area the fan is sitting on.

 

paif of chinese fans for $15 bought in USA and worked in Moscow with our ice reagent all winter.

 

Probably the same fans that we pay £100 for as well!!
