It’s a BMW, guaranteed you can find dozens of them in the gank-a-part. Most disposable vehicle ever.connector ideas?
BMW "Brose" fan with triangle connector
I am thinking a 120amp Anderson connector...
If I could find a pigtail or new housing I would just use that, I don't have the fan yet otherwise I'd have more info on the existing connector.
I bought one for my LS swap. Haven’t got it started yet, but instructions are relatively clear and wiring was simple.Not sure if it was ever mentioned here but this seems very economical fully featured device to provide PWM cooling fan control.
VARIABLE PWM FAN CONTROL works with ANY sensor, compare to Lingenfelter VSFM-002 | eBay
It also has special selections for driving Solid State Relays (SSR's) to vary DC fans with no fuss. Easy 2-button programming makes setting the temperature span a snap, just run the engine and press one button at your "turn on" setpoint, another button at your "full speed" setpoint.www.ebay.com
I tested the WFO wind speed coming out of the radiator on one of these today.Check my maths...
This skid steer has a 23"x13" engine cooler core 4.25" thick the other half of the radiator is hydraulic oil cooler of similar size at 23"x9"x4.25"
The engine is 73 horse power.
It has a 18" ish fan spinning a max of 2900 RPM. I don't have any specs of the fan blade but I have a picture.
The fan motor is 14.53 cc per rev with a max pressure of 2600 psi
The pump to drive it is for the sake of easy maths 10 GPM (21cc per rev)
Using online calculators for hydraulic horsepower I am getting 15 horse power, converted to watts is 10,000+ watts....
Are we really that under powered in electric fan cooling with 850w fans?
It depends on the OEM though doesn't it?
I just figured I'd ask, a lot of guys are like myself recognizing parts from their day job that can be repurposed.
It's also Holley owned now, so Chinese offshoring is in its near future if not already there.
That's nice shit though.
I would if needed, I just have a distain for metric/STOR fittings.
GT150 that's what I've been telling you to get lolNPT But not Deutsch
AKA GM connector.
FYI, the AC Delco replacement for that should be this fan. It's about $100-125 cheaper than the GM PN.
I'll just use a 2 pin DT.
The only potential issue is the largest contact is 6ga. Not sure how big the wires are on the fan, it comes in today so I can test it all then.I couldn't figure out the BMW connector from the web so I have a SB50 Anderson connector coming. I don't need water/dirt protection so it should be fine as is.
FYI the SB50 is rated at 120 amps and HOT pluggable at 50 amps. Should be perfect for this fan.
SB50 Standard Housings Gray
992: The smallest SB® housings work with wire contacts up to 6 AWG [10 mm²] as well as PCB, and busbar contacts. Genderless design mates with itself. Mechanical keys are color coded.SB®50 connectors feature a one piece plastic housing using stainless steewww.andersonpower.com
Tested the core resistance.
I was gonna bring that up...
That's a good point.
