    Default VS V8 Radiator Fan

    I have a VS V8 radiator in front of my Nissan Navara that has a VT V6 donk in place.I am running at the moment an aftermarket 2750CFM fan thats mounted onto the radiator with those plastic cable type ties.The ties are wearing into the radiator water tubes.
    Question I have as silly as it might appear is
    "Does a VS V8 Commodore run the same fan confiquration as the VS V6 Commodore.Are the CFM of both fans the same?

    regards Andrew

    The V6 uses a thermo fan,the V8 fan uses a viscous clutch setup thats driven by the engine.If your not getting enough cooling from one thermo fan,maybe add another thermo fan next to the one thats already there.Some commodores had a different electric fan again that went on the front of the radiator as well as the one thats in the usual place.Maybe get hold of one of them.I think it was only fitted to earlier commodores (VN/VP) that had air conditioning.

    They were fitted to some VR/VS aswell, my VS V8 has the small thermo fan in front of the rad, as did my VR statesman.

    a lot of the 5ltr boys fit el/ef/au twin thermos to their radiators. apparently they are the perfect size, so that's a good option as well. as said above, the 5ltrs run a clutch fan off the water pump.
