Jake Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 I need to replace my fan's Viscous coupling immediately. It's been seized for the last year at least and so, whilest my Rad was out being repaired, I tried to unseize the viscous coupling. Well ... it's moving freely now but it's also making a horrible noise when the engine is started. I'd like to replace it with an electric fan really but I don't know where I can get one from in the next few days. I was going to get PaulE to import an elec one for me but now I need one straight away. Unless any of you guys have a better suggestion I'm planning on ordering a new viscous coupling from Toyota tomorrow. Are these the same on the UK spec as the one on my JSpec? So, any suggestions on a elec fan conversion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 My suggestion is don't get one I've heard bad things from people who's opinions I respect. Bad when it comes to 2JZ engines that is, electric fans have their place in other applications. -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syed Shah Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Go with a new toyota one. Electric fans = bad news. Not worth a slight HP gain, unless it is not daily driven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 IMHO you will loose much of the air flow that Toyota intended to go round the engine if you fit electric fans. You would need pretty powerful motors to get anywhere near the out put equivalent to the stock fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 I love my electric fans cause i can change my cam belt with the rad in if i want !!!! Jake the rad Paul means is the uprated one as in my car , id be very surprised if you can have the tanks reattached to your core or effect a long lasting repair using adhesive , i just feel that its not worth chancing a massive steamy incident on the Q in to Billing !!!!

Dragonball Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Originally posted by Jake Buy a new Rad so I can buy and fit an elec fan? You're kidding, right? Sounds fair enough to me - soooo picky! I thought that yours was knackered and that you did some jerry rigged repairs to it...? Maybe I missed something You need a combined 2000 cubic whatit's rated fans to match the viscous fans BTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
