all i know is that fan pulls some stupid CFM numbers. I have one on my car with the stock alternator and although the volt meter drops like a rock when i flip the switch i've seen no other negative effects
I think running they draw about 35 amps but they spike to 90 amps on start up...don't quote me just yet, i'll ask my buddy but that's what i seem to remember.
That's a huge rumor that the Taurus and Mark VIII's spike 90-110 amps on startup. Both of them spike 50amps at the most.
this is high speed? do you have low speed #'s as well?
That's using a variable speed controller - varying the voltage to increase and decrease fan speed. So essentially high speed for the Taurus fan would be 3300CFM @ 33amps, and low speed would be in the neighborhood of 2800CFM @ 16amps.
Mark VIII on high would be 4300CFM @ 28amps, and low around 3500CFM @ 15amps.
Those numbers and graphs are from Brian Baskins website (when it was up).
I've tried using a 30 amp relay and you can get away with it, but it would blow once a week or so.
i remember seeing pics of someone who mounted their fan upside down and reused the factory overflow bottle....does anyone know who that was or where i may find the pics? i was unsuccessful with the search...thanks

For high speed I wired one of these for it with two Bosch 30 amp relays and I have no problems.

For Low I used a single 30 amp relay
Low speed cools my car fine with a 195 t-stat
I got an extra fan if anybody's interested also, PM me
