Electric Fans

There's a dude on tiktok running a couple thousand HP(no seriously its got serious HP, 100+lbs boost) he runs electric fans. So yeah it can be done. But why? I'd just fix your problem

 

For the same reason the high
-horsepower guy is doing it, and the same reason drag racers have been doing it for decades: reduced parasitic drag on the engine, which translates into more power and higher fuel economy. I read somewhere that engine fan on time is the biggest drag on fuel economy after driver behavior.

Also, the fact that you're less likely to break down due to having a broken fan belt is a thing.

 

No yeah you are absolutely correct.

 

Less likely? There would be an electric motor, wiring, multiple sensors for an electric cooling fan. More electronics not necessarily better. Many cars have electric water pumps, electric power steering with no belt driven pump or fluid, to squeeze out a little mpg.

 

You won't get the CFM out of electric fans unless you have one that has a 20 HP electric motor on it.

Fix your problem and keep truckin'

 

None of which break if not periodically replaced or lip if they get stretched or if the tensioner fails.

 

Well not just radiator to cool, but a thick cooling package. CAC, trans cooler, power steering cooler, A/C condenser. Out in desert southwest in middle of summer pulling a hard pass. Doubt it would keep up with cooling demands.
If it was viable don’t you think every OEM would have swapped to electric fans by now?.
They are under the gun for fuel mileage and less emissions by governments. As well as customers.
It may work in cooler weather but you’re trying remove a lot of heat out of cooling package.
