E30 AC Fan as a dedicated Electric Fan

[Forrest 35]

Does it work? / Can it be done? / Anyone done it before?

Cheers, Nathan

can be done. have it on my racecar, text me or i can come round and show u

[Silver Fox 43]

Have done it on both of ours, just switched on the dash when needed.

[Forrest 35]

Cheers.

Whats the easiest way to wire them up?

Do I put a fuse in the circuit?

[Silver Fox 43]

I have a 20 amp fuse and a 30 amp switch, they draw a lot of current.

[Forrest 35]

Alright thanks Dave. So I assume it just has a power and a earth and I fuse the power wire with a switch in the middle?

[Silver Fox 43]

That's what I've done, works a treat.

[Forrest 35]

Awesome, thanks

i have this set up in the twincam so it works but (in my case anyway) it was part of the aircon radiator thing and not seperate so i had to make a custom bracket to stop it flapping around.

[Silver Fox 43]

Yeah, used the same, but cut the aircon radiator from the support bracket and adapted the bracket and fan to go back on the original mounts.

heya Nathan

common mod, just cut the core out of the radiator and leave the surrounding bracket. It will make it easier to mount the fan into the shell of the vehicle, then fuse, relay and wire it up to use the existing switch on the dash , so that it looks in place

cheers
