The e-fans push more air, I saw the numbers somewhere a while back.

As for the dyno, it's obvious if you take any strain off the motor you will make more power. If the car has to use torque to spin the fans it has to come from somewhere.

 

Yeah but if the gain is somewhere around one horsepower and the car isnt having any cooling issues then it simply wouldnt be worth the effort.

 

doesn't even look like it has a suspension job.......

so whats the point? highway crusier?

 

The point is to kick A$$ and take names. Full suspension work is nice but realistically unless you're at a track its not that necessary (sans brakes). Power on the other hand is always good for stoplight/highway battles or just simply for bragging rights.

 

Put some drag radials on for drag strip nights. Otherwise yeah, it would be a blast for freeway races.

 

Not to be off topic, but what does an e-fan conversion cost these days??? also, how easy is it to do..i'm interested in getting this done on my car..i hate the air plane sound...

 

i miss my sleeper sedan. too bad it's going bye bye next week. I've been back to N/A for a few weeks -- man what a difference. But I'm fuel efficient now

 

Not sure.

 

It runs about $350-400. But like dmitriylm pointed out, it's a mod that's going to gain you anything. The airplane sound is kind of funny, but the only time you really should hear it is during initial start up and drive away and if the motor is really hot on hot day with the A/C on.

 

I respectfully disagree Mechanical fans can pull more air because they're usually quite a bit larger hence the reason why trucks, SUVs, and many large cars have them. Additionally, they pull air in, not push it which is a bit more effective. The G sedan mechanical fan is centrally located behind the rad and there is also a secondary e-fan as well so cooling potential is pretty significant. There's no huge drain from the mechanical fan because it only engages in certain situations, fairly small, and it's composite. Most truck/SUV fans are always engaged and there's some power loss associated with it (about 10whp). Two people have dynoed with the e-fan conversions and saw no gains. Additionally, all e-fan equipped G/Zs still have to spin the same pulley that the 03 mechanical fan is attached to.

IMO, the reason Nissan went with the mechanical fan on the 03 and some early 04s was because they thought people would load these cars up. I think they figured out that wasn't the case therefore they dumped the mechanical fan. Believe though, I'd rather just have the e-fans too. I don't like popping the hood on a running engine and seeing that fan spin so close to where I'm working

If I had a turbo car, I think I'd rather have the mechanical fan because of it's superior cooling ability.

 

I always thought the mech. fan was more efficent too.

 

Hahaha those fans gots to go!!!!!! I don't care wtf it does, it looks fugly. That grill is freaking fugly, heck the whole car is kind of fugly, he needs a body kit, but hey thats my opinion Sleeper? Why? Might as well make it seem like everybody knows not to **** with you when going down the street, no point being a sleeper unless you race in the streets, even then in my car i want everyone turning their heads over and going damnnn but thats me But that is a very nice set up though and I bet if someone tried to hit it on him in the streets they'll be in for a surprise.

 

anyone know the specs of this kit hp/tq numbers and price

 

And the power for the electric fans comes from the alternator, which in turn is twisted by the engine...

Yeah, one could argue that it comes from the battery -- but the alternator is going to provide enough current to keep the battery voltage at the value set by the regulator, so it really does come from the alternator. And since the alternator is less than 100% efficient, is needs even more power from the engine.
