Spal30102049 16in Puller Fan Curved Blade 2024 CFM

I bought this fan to replace the black magic 3000cfm fan I was running on my 1965 mustang 289. I am really impressed with the quality of this fan. Unlike the flexalite it is almost completely metal and has a sealed water proof motor. It fit my radiator like it was made for it and moves a ton of air. It's hard to tell for sure but it seems to move at least as much if not more air than the black magic fan. It's pretty quiet too. I can hear it kick on if the radio is off but barely. You'll need a relay and temp sensor for the fan as it has no built in sensor. I'm using a kit made by spal for this fan and it works great. Well worth the money and highly recommended!3-15-15Over 2 years later and this fan is still running strong. Keeps our 65 mustang nice and cool and has never ran over 200F since it was installed.11-2-18The fan relay and gasket are all holding up well. Runs nice and quiet and still keeping our pony nice and cool. Very good quality.

Installed this 16" fan and worked great. Unfortunately due to an unforseen engine upgrade the fan will no longer fit. Ran two electric Spal fans, 1 pusher, 1 puller, 302 Small Block Ford in a 1936 Ford( minimal engine bay space).

My 76 Dodge truck with a 360 V/8 began overheating during the Texas summer and during prolonged idling. The temp would climb to 230. I replaced the engine driven fan with a 16 inch, electric puller fan, that I purchased online for $40.00. The "cheapo" fan was advertised at 2475 CFM . It helped a little; however, the temp would still climb to 220 when idling. I swapped my factory replacement brass radiator for a four-core aluminum radiator and it made no difference. I installed the Spal fan (with a true CFM rating of 2020) and now my truck runs between 185 to 190 and it can idle all day.The fan is kind of loud when you standing outside the truck. Not so bad with the motor running or inside the cab. When the fan starts it draws about 20 amps; however, it runs at about 10 amp or a little less. I used a 30 amp fuse and a good relay.The A/C is also much colder.All in all don't trust the cheap fans.

Installed this in my e46 M3. It's been working well so far. I have had no overheating problems. The clearance was tight with the gasket (sold separately) but it did clear. The brackets (also sold separately) worked perfectly, as well. I took the controller box off of my recently removed failing aux fan (the reason I got this fan in the first place) and crimped the leads to it. Simple enough. Now the computer controls the fan, no switches necessary. The mechanical clutch fan had to be removed to fit the new Spal behind the radiator.This $180 setup saved me from having to buy a $500 BMW aux fan assembly and freed up some power. It's rather quiet, too. Well worth the money and install time.

I have a hot rod 39 Buick with a Chevy V8 , this works great . I have it wired to a 40 amp relay and temperature probe in the engine . You can hear it come on but its not obnoxious loud . It does draw a lot of current so best to use a relay and heavy gauge wire, at least 10 gauge and 30 amp relay .
