Electric fan question

so im lookin for a decent but kinda cheap fan. my buddy told me about these proform fans that he said worked pretty good. while searching fleebay i found the procomp ones and never really heard anything about those. i have tried the really cheap ebay fans and theyve died on me before.

so my question is....

has anyone had any experience with the procomp electric fans?

something like this

No. The best fan to get.is a junkyard fan from a Lincoln mark 8. You'll need a 70 amp relay. Those fans will cool anything.

If you have the room getting a fan from the junkyard, ford fans seem to be popular and have used them too, I'd go that route before you spend any money on anything else. Just from a noise perspective the ford fans will be much quieter and cool just fine, at least here in MD, on a humid 90* + days.

I am using a PT Cruiser fan I dug out of our shop. I it free and the wiring and relays are attached to them. I just cut off the connector and wired to the battery and ran a switched power to the relay. veryeasy and cools just fine.

This is a good setup. If you put that radiator in too, the tanks have clips so the fans + shroud just clip on, making installation easy.
