Getting rid of the engine fan and running thermo fans on a 5L

[pedrotski]

Hey guys.

I have an engine fan on the car, but i was wondering if it would be better to use thermo fans?

The tempreature on the guage is never above 1/4 even with the air con on full blast on a 30c day, but i was wondering if it would be safe to remove the engine fan and replace with thermos to save some strain on the engine.

Thanks

The only advantage thermo fans would be, if your temps are already under control, is there would be no excessive wind noise like is generated from the standard fan.
When you say that you want to take load of the engine, the standard clutch fan is designed to limit the amount of load on the engine. Remember that the thermo fans do require a lot of power to drive them, thus loading the alternator and in turn the engine.
