Airconditioning Thermo Fan connector

[hornet]

Does the fan go on the inter cooler ? Because if you've got a winch it will want to be a very small fan, I had a fan on my inter cooler and had to remove it because it was rubbing on the winch rope , and it was a very slim fan , been looking for a slimmer one but haven't found a suitable on yet,

No, not the intercooler BUT (heading a little off topic) why not look for a fan which pulls the air instead of pushing it....my intercooler doesn't have room in front of it due to the winch but there is plenty of room behind it from memory

Turn the fan around. Instant pull

Last time I looked the was a support rail behind inter cooler which didn't leave much room , but I did notice the air con was cooler standing still with fan on .

Same setup as the 3.2 Pajero too




I might just steal the one of Mrs Alco's car and stick it on the Triton
That will be cheap

My Paj has this setup fridgemagnet, operates on a temp switch on the intercooler8-)

And your point is??

Might need to swap the connections around if you do this. Otherwise you'll be pulling (or pushing) air forward, depending on whether you turned around the fan body or the blades.

Depending on how this runs you'd have to be careful whilst the fan is running and you intend on deep water crossings. I've used big thermo's in the past and had to operate off a toggle switch so it can be switched off in these situation's

Had the same issue in my 80 model hilux running a very warmed over 18RG, 2 litre. Destroyed my radiator when the thermo was sucked into it by the water.

You should be stopping and letting everything cool off first so this should not be an issue. In theory.

I bought two 10inch fans for the AC and Intercooler - project to be started.

One thing I've noticed is a significant gap between the condensor and radiator allowing a bit of potential cooling air to leak past the condensor. I'm thinking about moving the condensor back a bit (making more room for fan) and possibly sealing it around the edge to the radiator to force more air through it.

I've also wondered whether the mystery plug might be for fan.

Well after extensive and exhasuting testing,

Well not really, I can confirm that fitting a Relay and the thermo fan to an MN triton (I need to find an ML to test yet) will make it fully operational, NOTE it is only operational while the air con compressor is engaged and running, so if your air con is not on, neither is the fan.

I will find an ML in the coming days and test that also.

Cheers Lee

oh and a fan already on order for my car!!!

[fridgie]

I have an ml

(and I think front bearings may be starting to go, possibly, noise and vibration in front end )

champion!!

[Duck]

Great job I can feel a group buy coming on.............who doesn't need more air . I await the ML findings

[Cowboy Dave]

I'll take one. Will be in touch for other stuff shortly...

[Kegsy]

Part numbers or group buy lee?

[mattz]

Well done Lee and New guy.
I also await your findings on the ML

[borngeek]

Great work Leethal!

ahhh, you are catching me young Jedi.
You better jack and check as it will destroy your pads and rotors will need to be machined.

//Someone should start a "what have you destroyed on your triton" thread.

You had mine for days!

[Cowboy Dave]

Yeah but he needs one that will run

[Homer]

I'll have to send him a petrol one over then

[Naff]

It didn't stop running! Just preventative maintenance.

Homer.. the petrol would be missing that plug.. naturally. Any fan you put in it will have to be run by a cable.. or gerbil.

[Homer]

you're probably right...bastards!

:grin::grin:

[Lee-thal]

And this thread plunges into the Realm once again of Petrol Vs Diesel,

We all know that in the end it doesnt matter.




OH WAIT, YES IT DOES, DIESEL WINS EVERYTIME!! SORRY HOMER!!

you and every service manager in the country are saying the same thing ...while rubbing your hands together "exceleeeent"

[Duck]

This was all started from spotting it on a petrol model, most of the Diesel's probably can't see the plug as its covered in OIL.....

:( you're probably right...bastards!
