KA Fan

This sounds like a stupid question, but I really don't know so input on it would be very much appreciated. Anyways, so i bought my 240 without a fan blade in it. What I want to know if if a fan blade even exists for this car. The only thing that rang up a NAPA was an electric fan and Auto Zone didn't ring up any blades at all. It's weird because the car I bought came with the clutch and shroud for a fan. If it does exist, why can't i find any online or at the local shops?

Try a junkyard, all 240sx's came with mechanical fans.

yea it comes with a fan, you can get on pretty much any ka, just go to a junkyard.. or you can run electric fans, like me.. its regains a bit of hp u lose with the regular fan.

wait what..? how does that work....look kid you can get a clutch fan at a junk yard if they have one. if not fin an altima and run the electric fans off the altima to your car with a toggle switch or keep them on the whole time doesn't matter but your not going to see hp increase and or decrease.

removing the clutch fan gives you some of the lost hp that you lose with the clutch fan being there..

im not saying electric fans give hp, cause they dont.. its just the absense of the clutch fan gives free's up some of your ponies

how do you lose hp on a clutch fan. who have you been talking to. these things com stock on the car when the do hp test and are included in the final results. wtf are you talking about.

Its called parasitic drain. Having E-fans do not give you HP, they free up HP taken away from the clutch fans. When you take away things that give stress on the motor, like AC and PS, you gain back hp.

bro..comon..this is a beginner thing...when the fan clutch is in its off freespin state everything is cool...but when it suddenly hits its temp ..it actually sends a harmonic shudder throuout the engine..it allso lashes the belt and applys pressure to the bearings inside the water pump and a minor tug on the crank..all in a flash of an eye.....do that 1 million times over time and see what damage that does!...have you ever seen a racecar with a stock fan!..no!..for good reason...the drag created by the liquid solution in the clutch+ the actuall drag throu the wind of the fan..is an emence horsepower robber..free your self bro..unleash the extra 5 to 8 hp hidoing in your stock ride..as a matter of fact..go green..loose the fan and get better gas mileage!..lol...less drag on the engine = better performance..anyways you look at it..

My bad fellas. I man who admits when he's wrong and I am wrong.sorry I let that blind me. me clutch fan ran so often cause of my radiator problem that I didn't think anything of it. I thought "I guess thats just the way nissan ran it". didn't think through the whole clutch part. Once agian my fault. twoforty hope all is forgiven I was quite the dusche.

Dont they make electric water pumps for SRs? I wish they would make some for our KAs, that would be rather nice, it should free up at least 3 or 4 hp I assume
