Thanks for your patience everyone. This is a rough draft. I welcome any feedback that might make this easier to understand. EMAIL Click here -> EFAN TUTORIAL

Darren, that's a good job and a pretty decent write up you got there.

How's the seat of the pants dyno feel?

oneradride · Nov 16, 2008

I can honestly say that’s the best 100 bucks I’ve spent so far. The hyper tech made some great changes to the shifting points with the taller tires but I can certainly feel a greater power gain from the fans MOD.

great write up! will to look for the fan controller for some details as this is a future mod that i was thinking of. What kind of temp's are you having locally? any ill effects? Have you pushed the cooling system at all (towing, 90 degee weather driving, extended idle time)? If you are in a colder climate has warm up been faster?

what year and model lt1 are those fans?
anyone know how much cfm those fans push out?

the fans that flex a lite recommend do about 5500 cfm but they cost 500.00..

are those fans off a caprice, camaro or corvette?

The ones I bought came off a 2003 Chevy Impala Police Interceptor. They are not a direct bolt on deal. Anything you get besides the 05 and up Tahoe and Yukon fans are going to need to be altered/modified to make them fit. There are SEVERAL different models that will work with a little ingenuity.

I see, i thought when you said LT1 that ment the engine found in the camaro. do you think not having the whole radiator covered with a shroud will cause a problem?

oneradride · Nov 21, 2008

Working great so far.. the LT1 comes in a lot more than just the Camero..... The Police interceptor was a special order LT1 car so I'm told, none the less,I love them!!!

In 1992, GM created a new-generation small-block engine called the LT1, recalling the 1970 LT-1 moniker. It displaced 5.7 L (350 cu in) and was a 2-valve pushrod design. The LT1 used a reverse-flow cooling system which cooled the cylinder heads first, maintaining lower cylinder temperatures and allowing the engine to run at a higher compression than its immediate predecessors.

This engine was used in:

Y-body:
- 1992-1996 Chevrolet Corvette C4
F-body:
- 1993-1997 Chevrolet Camaro Z28
- 1993-1997 Pontiac Firebird Formula and Trans Am
B-body:
- 1994-1996 Buick Roadmaster
- 1994-1996 Chevrolet Caprice
- 1994-1996 Chevrolet Caprice Police Package
- 1994-1996 Chevrolet Impala SS
- 1994-1996 Chevrolet Caprice Wagon
- 1994-1996 Buick Roadmaster Wagon
D-body:
- 1994-1996 Cadillac Fleetwood

im well aware what came with the lt1, seeing as i own one. 03 impala doest have a lt1, so what are you trying to tell me.

oneradride · Nov 22, 2008

Lol, I’m trying to tell you that I don’t give a **** what they came off of, they work.

alex29573 · Nov 22, 2008

it was a police impala that had an lt1....

alex29573 · Nov 22, 2008

i think we can also use the fans off an 05 up escalade..

importmd · Nov 22, 2008

im just trying to figure out what fans youre running, the only impala with a lt1 was the 94-96 so your fans are from a v6.

oneradride · Nov 22, 2008

Sorry, I was in a bad mood last night.. This is what i bought, I can't tell you anymore than that. Also I was mistaken, they are from an LS1.

importmd · Nov 22, 2008

there not from a LS1, the guy says they move more air than a LS1. the fans are off a 3.8 V6

oneradride · Nov 22, 2008

Ok, noob….. again, don’t really care if they where cooling a v-twin, they are doing what I need them to do. If it’s your goal in life to prove they are from a v6 than great, I’m not going to try and prove you wrong, mainly because I don’t care. You read it one way, I read it another. Also I don’t think you read the Q/A portion of the auction.

Q: The description says a 2003 impala and that they cooled a V8. I thought all impalas had V6's in them in 03?

A:
This was removed from a Maryland police interceptor car. It looks like the police cars appear to be late models. These fans are bigger from V8 engines.

*No police or government vehicle ever came out with anything different than what was available to the general public. There are no suspension, engine, brakes, or electronics upgrades/changes to cop cars….. For that matter no one has ever special ordered anything… right
*This is a truck forum, although I’m sure your camaro is great, you might be in the wrong place…..

importmd · Nov 22, 2008

im not sure if youre being a dick because youre wrong or just to be a dick. but you are wrong, they came from a v6, we will see if they work when summer comes. call me a noob, thats cool. becaue im new to the forum, not really just dont post(i joined before you) btw i own a tahoe and a camaro, so i think im in the right place. this entire time i was just trying to be clear on what motor these fans are off of. its not my fault you cant read.

oneradride · Nov 22, 2008

And you should move you of your parent’s house now while you still know everything……….

importmd · Nov 22, 2008

dont be sore loser and start talking like youre 12. ive been on my own for over 6 years now and bought my first house 3 years ago. lets not start these kid games.
