jackso11 Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 What is the fan for on the front of the car, not the one on the back of the radiator, the other smaller on through the hole in the bumper that is in a metal cage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie_b Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I've never seen such a fan. Do you have an NA (as per your garage)? Could it be aftermarket? Post up a pic of it if no-one else knows what it is either.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 The one on the radiator is Fan D, the one you're looking at is Fan E. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie_b Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 The one on the radiator is Fan D, the one you're looking at is Fan E. I can't find one of those. I'll have to phone my local Toyota and enquire about a Fan E for a supra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackso11 Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 anyone? Looks like another fan on the radiator, it is notmal to have one on both sides? I am asking because the bolt on the top of the cage that holds it in plac has bust and need to get a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Thats not a fan, It's a flux capacitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 It looks simply like the part of the radiator the draws air into it when stationary. the Viscous fan on the other side blows air over the engine. I'm I missing something here?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 That looks to be some sort of aftermarket fan that a previous owner has fitted, like the Kenlowe ones that Landy owners fit. Maybe there was sort sort of overheating problem and they've solved it the wrong way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm I missing something here?! is it standard? the bolt on the top of it is bust, just wondered what the fan was for and if it is really needed as its so rusty.

Rob Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I don't think it is standard, No. How old is the car? It may well have rusted there for 8 years or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
