anyone using zirgo fans???

[eighty-7t]

i am thinking of replacing my whole fan assembly. i heard from someone that zirgo fans are the shit. what do you guys think? is it worth getting one?

 

[I<3Supras]

Never heard of them. i think u should go with Flex-a-lite i have them and they work perfectly and make the engine bay look Sweet.

 

[eighty-7t]

i heard that there are many problems with the flex-a-lite fans. how are they with the whole cooling deal? any pics???

 

[I<3Supras]

Sorry no pics (shitty camera) They have a black box where u hook the wiring too. You have to mount it somewhere near the battery. It has a what i think is a brass wire that u put in the radiator hose which measures the temp and when it gets to a certain degrees the fans turn on and goes off once the temp lowers to a certain degree, or u can simply turn it on manually on the black box and turn it off manually afterwords.

heres a picture from horsepowerfreaks.com with it on a fluidyne radiator i think

mine is black though. You also have to buy the Multifunction control box for thermostat control meaning it measures the temp of the rad fluid and going back to what i said before. You can get them together as a package on

I use zirgo fans. Seem to work just fine. Although I didnt use their hoopty temp probe that turns on at 185 deg. seemed too hot. I used a 160 degree adjustable probe. HAYDEN is the brand, cost $50 at locat parts store. I have the 3300 cfm fan, and it pulls like crazy.

Im also using the Zirgo 3620 CFM with a KOYO rad, Im using the Zirgo temp switch but it definately comes on to late, think im going to run it from an IGN feed so its on all the time.

i've been using the black F-A-L's (2500cfm's)for awhile now and have had no problem with overheating whatsoever. And they do add alot of looks to the engine bay.

I haven't heard of Zirgo fans but I'm running the dual flex-a-lite fans and I love the hell out of them. They have an adjustable box and my car never see's over 3/8 on the temp gauge. I also noticed a drop in temp a lot with my cowl hood, but thats different. Flexs will cost you a pretty penny but sometimes I see them go for around $100-200 on Ebay. Stores will cost you around $350-450. Good luck electric is the way to go. Later-T

hey you guys with the zirgos, where did you guys get the fans from? and what size are you guys running? any pics???

 

[eighty-7t]

oh yeah. thank you guys that have the flex-a-lite fans. preciate your answers, but i think im sticking with the zirgo.

If you wire constant voltage to your electric fans, we have a built in temp ground switch used for the A/C fans built into the water neck. Just route fused power to the fans, and ground them at the temp switch, and they'll come on all by themselves at 160 deg or so. It makes for a much cleaner install IMO.

I got mine from ebay, about 50% cheaper than Zirgo themselves.

ZFU16S - 16" 3630 CFM ZIRGO ULTRA HIGH PERFORMANCE RADIATOR COOLING FAN

They have it for sale on www.zirgo.com for $250 and i paid about $60 for shipping to Ireland.

They also have a nice Programmable digital fan controller..$99

 

[eighty-7t]

did you set up your fan to be a pusher or puller?

 

[Bondango]

Set to Puller to draw air from outside through the rad

is it easy to wire up the fans? I want it to be on all the time. Also, are they easy to mount to the stock radiator? Or do I have to do some fabrication?

I ran Ford Contour dual fans and a SPAL PWM controller (varies fan speed based on temp - can control 1 or 2 fans). Was a good combo with the stock rad - but its a bit too thick with a Koyo. still debating what to use there.

But for a fan controller, look into the SPAL. its ~$75 from speedway motors (cheapest I was able to find it).
