I have two of the delta pag 12” should arrive early next week. Based on their drawings it’s a thinner fan than a spal.
based on this thread I didn’t even look at the pro forms because it’s a customer car and needs to actually work reliably.
im really looking forward to being able to try them first hand.

I don’t know yet but the pro forms are proven not to as you found.
the deltapag has an external fan controller so hopefully it’s at least fixable if that fails. I also couldn’t find anyone complaining about them and they have been around for a few years.
Plus they are made in USA instead of a China which I can’t always do but I prefer to when possible.

Update:
I just got a call from proform and the replacement fans are on the way to me. I’ve been driving the car everyday so I have a good feel of how it does in the heat. I think the water pump actually helped a little bit, it has seen the max of 212 in bumper to bumper traffic but typically on a hot day of 95fcand humid, it’ll see a max of 208.
I heard back from deltapag once, he was supposed to email me an invoice but I never heard back after that, so I guess he forgot about me. I guess it works out because I had a front tire separate on me so I had to buy new tires.
when I get the fans put in, I’ll let you guys know how it goes.

They at least have a lot more blade area than what I’m taking off.
I ran one on a battery and it moves quite a bit of air. Looking forward to seeing how it performs.

they move a lot of air for sure.
im installing them on a car with a holley sniper and i didnt realize until it was all ready to go that snipers dont do pwm- output. so i used the gray box pwm generator to get the thing up and going and test performance. all the rest of the wiring was done, individual relays and fuses for each fan, tefzel wiring, etc. running at 80% i had one die after about 15 minutes of running. it blows the fuse immediately so the controller internally shorted out. im sending it in for diagnostics. the controller supposedly has datalogging.
they said its my fault and blamed my wiring. i had to replace the fan controller ($140) and buy their standalone controller ($100).
Im not planning to use them again.

im always on the lookout for high quality usa made products and this one really disappointed me. the fans are really nice, compact, and move a lot of air though. based on the published dimensions of the spal fans i considered, they wouldnt have fit where these ones did.

they have a published diagram that allows for this and just runs the fan at 100% which is is around 20a. but there were several additional caveats that made for a bit of a clunky experience relative to the ford fusion brushed controller i use on my wagon.

You are talking about the Deltapag fan controller correct? I was considering this route for my build without the controller as I'll be using a Dominator to control in lieu of their electronics. Otherwise I'll just go OEM/SPAL brushless off of a newer model vehicle.
