well the U/D's are not gonna help any. what kind of amps does your new fan suck. if it is not much, i think you might be able to get by, if you really watch the gauge and are conscientious about what accessories are on at once.
good luck.
good luck.
what is the amp's on stock alt? 70 right?
my car had a 110 supposivly when i got it. with my parking lights on, heater on first notch, and just my deck with no amp it would be hammered until i was moving over 20. then if i turned the deck up at all, it would flash the lights.
so i bought a 3G 200 amp alt. now i can have high beams on, stereo going any volume with 2 rockford amps/subs, ect, heater full blast whatever and it doesn't even phase it. thats when im sitting also
i would invest in a better alt. i seriously doubt that the stocker is going to work very well with all of that stuff, especially the UD pullies. good luck

Electric fan = 3G alternator if you want long life & reliablity from your car.
A relay is nothing more than another way to close a switch. They don't make more current or ease the starting current surge. The DCControl fan controller would at least ease the starting surge, but you are still left with an electrical system that is underpowered when everything is on.
Figure this:
Ignition system & computer = 12 amps
Fuel pump = 12 amps
Exterior lights = 15 amps
Fan (heater or A/C) = 15 amps (can run between 5-25 amps depending on setting)
Radio & instruments = 10 amps
Wipers = 10 amps
That's grand total of 74 amps from a 65 amp alternator. Talk about overdrawn at the bank!

this guy has some rebuilts that are polished. i might be getting a 90 amp from him that doesn't require modifying the mounting bracket. I don't run a big stereo in my car or have AC either.
