Dodge Viper Fan

[94GTLaserRC]

I forget who it was a couple of years ago (may have been Eades) that told me about using the Fans from a Dodge VIper since they flow way better AND are thinner... Does anyone have any info on this, links, prices, installs, etc?

Thanks

I've heard of this as well and from what I know most people get the fans off of ebay, but they are NOT cheap...

Im not that worried about cost....all it takes is one major incident of overheating to wipe out all the savings of not spending money to keep the car cool...specially with all the bling and here in S. FL.

Just need to get more info.

Dang. They are expensive...$800??? for the FAN???. Why don't you just go Aftermarket fan and radiator all together for less? Doesn't fluidyne make the combo???

For $800 bucks I would just do a nice 3-row rad and a Taurus fan w/ a top of the line controller.

Who says they are $800? I dont see any links to those...last I heard they were in the 300's.

They are brand new $800 from a dealer. which one do you have to use? Gen 1 or Gen 2 or Gen 3? I know someone who works at dodge. May be he can get it for cheaper? You want new right?

Use the Gen 2 fan. A buddy of mine got one last year at our local Dodge dealership for under $200 to put on his 72 Monte Carlo. It keeps that boat cool! Socal dakotas also has them for around $220 I think. You need to look in the Dakota section, not the Viper section. For $800, it is either a Gen 3 fan or the dealership is raising the price big time just because it is for a Viper.

Yeah I thought they were in the 2-3's. Im hoping that someone who knows about this will chime in here soon.

Why dont you get the Spal twin 11" fans and a controller??? IMO it's a better fan I can confirm it's cooling a 95' cobra with a t-trim making 745 RWHP in 100+ california HUMID heat!! And it's like $250-300

Im always interested in learning/trying new things...Got some info and/or links to the item and/or install?

I liked the Viper b/c it was very thin and flowed like 4000 cfu. Do you have the info on this fan?

Thanks

It was ONEBAD that ran this fan but I talked about getting one for years. They are bad boys, and only 206$

Charlie even took measurements. The cool thing is the "slats" on the side open up when driving from flow and really help cool down the radiator.

Hope this helps some

Also FWIW I still run my stock 95 fan

S-trim 5 yrs (550+rw) Cali, in the Mohave Desert-Daily Driver
T-trim 1yrs (643rw) Phoenix, AZ
Turbo for a few years now and still living in AZ

No cooling issues at all, Fluidyne, 180 Stat, FMS Water pump. Summers here are 115*, and Winters are 75* haha

Thanks Chris...that's what it was..YOU told me about it, but it was Charlie. Are you sure that is the right fan? The Vipers are supposed to be 4,000 cfu...that is way less....What do are stock ones run?

Thanks
RC

i have a gen 2 one in the garage to put on my car before carlilse it was 260 plus tax , and looks a little different than the one from summit and its not that thick . i'llput up pics after its in .

 

[4Jenna]

I do remeber reading something about 4000 CFM also for some reason, I'm almost sure the Summit one is the one Charlie ran though...could be wrong.


Here is a few others that may help
