Flex-A-Lite Syclone S-Blade Reversible Electric Fan, 16"

Got this fan to replace an engine powered unit in a vintage Jaguar to give myself a few extra horses and relieve some of the strain on the old water pump bearings. I originally was going to buy a no-name version but after some internet research I decided that the flex-a-lite would be worth the extra few bucks. This fan draws a good number of amps so if installing it in an old car be sure to upgrade the alternator. In my Jag at idle it cools it down and shuts off in less than a minute at 70 degrees (F). I used a flex-a-lite adjustable fan controller which is also a nice piece of kit. All in all, a really good product at a very good price. Similar no-names cost about $80 with shipping and I've heard some horror stories about cheap fans coming apart at speed. This one is fully balanced and seems to run quite smoothly.

If you've looked at Jeg's or Summit catalogs (even online), these guys have them beat ! Even E-bay's lowest price was $122 plus shipping. This was available with free shipping when I purchased it. Moves 2500 cfm, and I use two to cool a 310hp V-10 4x4. I live where its over 100 degrees for 3 months each summer. Very sturdy. I believe Flex-A-Lite makes OEM fans for some Ford and Chevy products from what I've read. 17 amps is not bad whan most alternators put out 75 to 135 amps. Great A/C fan as a pusher, also cools as a puller. Don't hesitate to buy one.

I was having overheating issues on my Monte Carlo SS (LS turbo) I installed this fan with a shroud and it keeps it under 178° compared to the Hayden fan that had me at 210. Definitely worth the money

I needed a slim fan for my 1966 Mustang fastback. The whole car has been modified or customized in some way so I ended up with very little room between the radiator and the WP pulley. Anyways, I tried another fan based on it's dimensions and it melted down literally within 200 miles. So I figured at least through Amazon the return will be simple if this one gives me any trouble. I initially bought it as a temporary fix and planned on replacing it with a more expensive solution down the road. Well, it's been about a year now and it is still going strong. Keeps my high compression stroker motor nice and cool in LA traffic even while using the stock size aluminum radiator. If this one ever does give out I would buy another one in a heartbeat. You really cant beat it for the price. Just make sure you run proper gauge wire and use a relay and you should be good to go.

The fan came wired for push through function and installed easily. It truly does have a full time 17 amp draw, so wiring a separate power wire (10 ga.) and operating it off a relay is the best way to go. I am pretty much positive that any OEM wiring will get fried if you try running this fan on it. Works awesome and the 2500 CFM rating is honest.

Used on my '95 Dodge B2500 Van. I recently lost my stock viscous fan clutch assembly. The old fan when it separated from the water pump made every effort to eat its way into the radiator destroying it. After some research the Flex-A-Lite seemed like a good fit and I was comforted to know that it was an American made product. The 16" Syclone works well. It is whisper quite, but does draw about 17 Amps off the power system. I installed it with the Derale 16738 180 Degree Farenheit Single Stage Electric Fan Controller . I live in central valley California and since temperatures routinely reach into the 110's i was worried that i was giving up some of the pull that the stock fan assembly gives up. I installed a single 16" fan on the pulling side because there was not enough power left on my alternator to safely install a second fan. My concerns were well founded. Please note that the following negative items are noticed only at 0 mph!!! Under normal driving conditions everything functions well. I have seen a slight (20%) rise in idle temperature. Additionally i would say that the air conditioner is not getting enough flow to speed cooling operations inside the cab. I would fix this in the future by installing the 16" fan on the pushing side of the air conditioner. I would also install 2 12" fans on the pulling side. I believe this would fix all cooling problems, but since I am moving to another area of the country that is colder I'm not worried about the temporarily warm running temps at idle. Im comfortable using this installation to trail with.

I have a 98 Jeep Wrangler with the 4 banger engine and im down here in San Antonio, Texas where the weather tends to get just a little hot. I have had the jeep for several years and have never had any problems with it. Even in the hottest months, my jeep has always stayed around 210 degrees even with the A/C on. I deceided to run the Syclone electric fan as it has many advantages over the clutch fan. I am running a Derale fan controller that you can set the temp to turn the fan on and I can honestly say I wish I would have done this sooner. Being a 4 cyl jeep, you don't have a lot of horsepower to start with, but when you are running the A/C with a clutch fan it is really terrible. Very hard to try to stay up with traffic. If you don't run the A/C, then it has enough pick up even with 33 in tires. After installing the Syclone fan, I was very happy. With the A/C on, you don't feel the drag anymore and it wants to take off now. What a major difference this has made. Still running at 210 in August. Any one with a 4 banger jeep wrangler really needs to consider replacing their fan clutch with an electric fan. There are a lot of modds that you can do to try to increase your horsepower and I have done just about all of them, but I really think this makes the biggest difference in performance. THANKS.....

Fan lasted for 9 months from purchase

echo en usa pero tiende a vibrar mucho no son calibrados correctamente

Awesome ! Nice powerful, quiet fan. Keeps temperature around 185 to 190 in traffic.

Nice product and made a difference to my engine

Solved my heat issues in Diesel Toyota Truck... Well made product. Good instructions.

Lots of cfm but really haven't had it installed long enough to know if she will last .
