Reply to "Radiator & front condenser clearance"

I have recently modified a Flex-a-lite fan shroud for a friends car with rubber flaps to aid cooling at high speed. The rubber flaps are an old idea that dates back to the 70's I think. I did the same to my own car with aluminium flaps a few years ago and cured my high speed over heating.

The fans in these pictures pull 3000CFM (1500 each) so they are not the most powerful fans available but should keep the car cool.

I am about to install a single 16" sucker fan on an MG V8 and cant make sense of the Summit racing website. Some of the fans claim to full 3600CFM and only draw 10 amps whereas other fans, also 16" claim to pull 2500CFM and 20 amps. Twice the current draw and a lot less air? Can someone explain this to me..

It's interesting what Rodney says about thinner fans drawing more amps, maybe that's the reason?
