[B]Anyone running a Zirgo Electric fan?[/B]

I am looking at getting a Zirgo 3300 cfm electric fan and temp. control kit off ebay. Anyone running this brand? I'm either going to get a Zirgo or a Black Magic. My 'stang is running a little hotter than I'd like in the hairy Va Beach traffic!

I just found what your talking about and I would say no.
Find a taurus 2spd fan ($25) and the autozone controller ($18.99)
That will leave you $100 cheaper which is enough to find a used aluminum radiator off ebay.

351, what year Taurus, and would I have to fabricate brackets? I'm not running a stock rad, but the Summit 2-row alum. for Mustang that just came out.
Thanks for the info!

late 80's-early 90-'s 3.0/3.8. lot of headgasket problems and a fan that didn't help with those problems

Would I just have to splice it in to my fan's existing harness? I just saw several of the fans you're talking about on ebay, even a brand new fan motor for cheap.
What do you mean about the head gasket problems?
Any electrical instructions would help.

Thanks!

I'm not sure would the most effective way to wire it into the system is. Mine will be wired completely seperate from anything else on the car with the exception of a kill switch so I can turn it off when I go to make my run.

The best decription I've heard of that fan of high speed was from Bugzturbo on turboford. "On high speed, I'm pretty sure its enough to lift a small child off the ground."

those V6's are notorius for having headgasket problems so there are a pile in junk yards. I payed $100 for an 89 Taurus running with 47k miles. I fixed a water and sold it for a very tidy profit.

Thanks for the great tip 351, I'm going to get with my brother and Dad who know electrical, and check this out. Found a good unit on ebay I'm watching, it's at $5.50 with 48 hrs to go. Looks like I can save some bucks!

ok definately worth at least $10. Let me know exactly which one you buy an dI can also help you with the wiring. I probably have a ford service manual for that car.

Will do
