Product Overview
Slow-speed overheating, an engine swap with no room for a mechanical fan, or an air-conditioning upgrade can create the need for controlled electric airflow. A fan helps only when the radiator, water pump, thermostat, cap, and coolant circulation are already correct.
The curved-blade fan is rated at 3000-plus CFM and can be arranged as a pusher or puller when blade and motor direction permit. It is universal: radiator coverage, current draw, alternator capacity, shroud design, polarity, switch temperature, and mounting clearance must be engineered for the vehicle.
Key Features & Performance
- 16-inch curved-blade electric cooling fan
- Advertised airflow of 3000-plus CFM
- 3/8-inch NPT temperature switch with 1/2-inch adapter
- 40A relay harness and 30A circuit breaker included
- Supports compatible pusher or puller custom installations
Common Uses
- Adding low-speed airflow to a custom radiator
- Replacing a failed universal electric fan and controller
- Creating clearance after an engine or radiator swap
Technical Specifications
- Product Type: Universal electric radiator fan kit
- Fan Diameter: 16 in
- Advertised Airflow: 3000+ CFM

Installation & Fitment
- Measure radiator core coverage and fan depth with the engine moving on its mounts

- Confirm polarity and airflow direction before final mounting
- Verify alternator output, fan current draw, thermostat temperature, and fuse protection
Compatibility Notice
This is a universal or service-tool item, not a guaranteed bolt-on part for every vehicle or machine. Measure and compare all dimensions, connections, operating limits, and the intended system before purchase. Custom installation may be required.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Should the fan be a pusher or puller? A: A puller behind the radiator is usually more efficient when space allows, but the build determines placement.
Q: Will 3000 CFM cure an overheating engine? A: Not if coolant flow, head gasket, tune, radiator capacity, or airflow sealing is the real problem.
Q: Can the motor be wired directly to a small toggle switch? A: No. Use a properly rated relay and circuit protection.
Q: Is this an original-equipment part? A: No. This is a new aftermarket product. Brand names and part numbers are used only to identify compatible applications.
