Likely won’t find one for any less....

Don,

That looks like one of the fans from a 5th gen Camaro. I believe that if we are talking about the e92 ECU, then that would be the 6th gen Camaro...

No need for apologies. I am just trying to keep all of this information as accurate as possible. We're all learning here...LOL

Adapting new OEM parts to our old clunkers is not easy, but I think there are many benefits to be had. As I understand it, the new fans are quite amazing!

You know we're in deep when we're using words like AMAZING to describe cooling fans... LOL

Geeks-R-Us...LOL

In all honesty, PWM fan control adds a great deal of refinement out our old cars. The information from this thread allowed me to implement it on my Cougar build and it truly is AMAZING! On my GTO, I am using dual Spal fans with binary fan control. The car has a relatively quiet exhaust and when the cooling fans turn on, it sounds like a jet engine.

On the Cougar, I never hear the fan, ever, and I have yet to see it go much above 50% duty cycle even on hot summer days. The C6 fan is rated at 400watts, while the new 6th gen Camaro fan, I believe is 800watts! So yes, amazing.

I hear that. I'm running the dual SPAL fans on my car and with traditional relays the fan noise is very loud even with a loud exhaust and the shock to the charging system when they're switched on is significant.

I'm anxious to get the PWM setup once I get my Terminator installed and running.

Modern refinement is really what distinguishes some of these builds.

Keep the info coming. It's AMAZING. Lol
