Thread: Lowest Profile highest CFM 16" electric fan?

Tweet

We run Zirgo's on the drag cars, do a great job. As far as specifics for your application, some of the Deuce guys should be along with what they run.... Might check out Kitz's roadster, I know he has a nice one.... So does Dave, and a bunch of the others....

I had a similar problem on a '64 Falcon. there was only 2 1/2" of clearance between the radiator and the water pump pulley. I found a 16" fan with an offset motor and belt drive called a "Sidewinder." They claim it moves 2200 CFM and is only 1 7/8" deep at the center. It's expensive, but it's well built, works good and solved the problem. Below is a link to where I bought it.

I've been told these are good, not sure what anyone else knows but it should fit, 3.5" deep, 16" and 3300 cfm.

Here's another 3500 cfm, 16" but not sure how deep.

I like SPAL fans personally. Move a lot of air and seem to last a long time. Have one on my Jeep truck, one on my T, and one on both of my Son's cars.

Just drove my T yesterday and at a light it came up to 180, kicked on the fan an before the light changed it was down to 150. If you want low profile, here is one they feature:

Item No.: 30100400
Description: VA18-AP10/C-41A FAN (16)"
UOM: EA
Price: $ 79.95

The picture below is mine, it is not a low profile, but is still very thin.

Thanks Sean. I just got the fella to respond on the dimensions of the 3500 CFM fan. He said it is 4 1/8" deep. I've been looking at these. I just needed someone to respond about what has actually worked on thier rides. I live in Arkansas and we do see 100 degree days in the summer.
