Which Volvo Fan?

[HighPerformanceTrucks]

I've seen two examples of the Volvo fan with different shroud designs.

Common sense would be to opt for the one shown mounted in the SyTy, but any mounting images or info on the egay image is appreciated.

I have used both and they perform nearly identical.

This is the one I am using now.... probably best choice. Once you cut
all of the tabs off, there is still a little bracing for support... not that you
need it, but a good feeling of confidence just incase.

Draws about 34A at start-up but runs much less. You can get by with a 30A relay but be sure to use a 40A fuse and 10ga wire (12ga minimum) My relay lasted about a year until just this week. I am replacing it with a 40A relay probably tomorrow.

For the amount of road racing that you are wanting to do with your truck I would look at the Taurus fan. It flows 5000 cfm... I think that it would be a better choice but more work to install...

Used this one and haven't had any issues with it yet. seems to push a good amount more air then stock did. here's a shot of it installed

Thought the taurus fan flowed closer to 2800cfm and the lincoln mark VIII flowed 5000cfm?

Re: Which Volvo Fan?

i believe both of those volvo fans are the same, but the one on the ty has had the tabs removed. The volvo fan works great, but like Sgtlover i wired mine with 8ga from the battery to the relay thru a 40a fuse and a cheap 30 amop relay that lasted about 4 months and burned up and i now have a good 40amp relay and no problems, i used 10ga from the relay to the fan and 14ga trigger wires from the factory IC pump wires to the relay.

Fan flows plenty of air to keep the engine cool if you have a good flowing radirator.

I have the taurus fan now and it works fine, but the shroud doesn't cover the entire raditor.
