Anybody used/using one of these?

Chit Chit Chit.......... just copy and paste!!!

Looks similar to Davies Craig units, but claims to move more air (CFM) than the good ol' Davies Craig jobbie

There you go Roachie

Hmmm, it worked when I cut and paste?????

G'day Wartgames,
No, I meant that particular brand actually. I currently have the "normal" Nissan viscous fan running off the motor and in front of the air cond (in behind the grille) I have added a small 10" Davies Craig fan, beside the factory-fitted electric air cond fan. I can turn the 10" fan on whenever i like and it's purpose is to aid in the cooling of the radiator in hot conditions. However, I think 10" is not big enough (sounds like something a bloke's wife might say to him, eh??) and was gunna try and fit a bigger, 14" or 16" fan in there. When you look at the specs of the respective outputs (claimed), there is quite a lot more air pushed by a 16" fan than there is by a 10" fan.......And these ones on ebay claim to push a lot more than the Davies Craig equivalent.
The 10" one I have fitted present came with instructions and long bolts that said it was to be mounted through the radiator, like you said. There was NO WAY I was gunna be poking bolts through my radiator!!!!!
Instead, I made up steel brackets to attach the fan to available points on the front.
I would LOVE to remove the standard viscous fan and replace with one or 2 big electric fans, but I'm not convinced about their longevity to do the job solo if you are driving through water crossings etc. Having said that, my davies Craig fan has been dunked a few times and still works okay.

wouldn't that rot ya sox an error lol

Brew,

Thanks for trying to make me feel better.......but it's no use; I KNOW I'm a dumb-arse who can't get his fat-head around all this puter krap. hahahahaha ;-)))

Thanks for those words of wisdom Glenno.......hahahaha;-))

Would you care to elaborate please....have you had a bad experience with this particular brand? There is a heap of them advertised on ebay at the moment in various sizes.

Dont use these (") when you are trying to post a link . LOL

G'day Bradley,
Thanks mate. As regards your Isuzu running in VERY hot weather and the temp GAUGE not moving...........this is a point I've been labouring on about here for many months. Not trying to have a go at you but anyone who thinks the REAL engine temperature is gunna stay the same whether they're driving on a cold day or on a 41oC day is not thinking straight (IMHO of course). I've proven this on my own vehicle by fitting an EXTRA gauge to monitor the REAL coolant temp in the top radiator hose. In case you've missed my findings.......The Nissan gauge will reach it's "normal" position (just short of half-way across it's arc) when the REAL temp is about 60oC. It will stay in the same position of "normal" until the REAL temp reaches about 110oC at which point it will start to rise. It will go from "normal" @ 110oC to just being outside the HOT zone on the right side of the gauge @ around 119oC.
So what I'm saying is that manufacturers build their gauges so that they do not move off "normal" until they get quite hot indeed. Basically, I don't trust factory gauges to tell me the REAL story.
