Product Information

Full details

The Mishimoto Slimline Electric Cooling Fan is designed for vehicle owners seeking an efficient and space-saving cooling solution, particularly ideal for tight engine bays or engine swaps. Its key benefit is improved airflow with a low-profile design that fits flush against radiators. A potential caveat is that specific fan sizes may have directional limitations (push-only for the 8" model). This fan features a high-flow blade design and is available in various diameters to suit different cooling needs.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the power draw of the 16" Slimline Fan?

The product information does not specify the exact amperage draw, but it is designed to operate on a standard 12V electrical system. Consult installation guides or contact Mishimoto for precise specifications to ensure your electrical system can support it.

Can this fan be used as a puller fan?

Yes, the 16" Mishimoto Slimline Electric Cooling Fan is reversible and can be configured as a puller fan. The 8" model is push-only.

How is the fan controlled?

These fans are typically controlled via a thermostatic switch that activates the fan when the engine reaches a set temperature, or through a manual switch for direct user control.

What is the depth of the 16" fan?

The 16" Slimline Fan has a depth of 73mm.

What CFM does the 16" fan produce?

The 16" Slimline Fan produces 1850 CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) of airflow.

Is this fan suitable for all vehicles?

It is designed for universal fitment, but compatibility depends on available space in the engine bay, radiator size, and the vehicle's electrical system capacity. Modifications may be necessary.

Troubleshooting

Fan does not turn on

Check all electrical connections, ensure the fuse is intact, and verify the power source. Test the fan motor directly with a known good 12V source. Confirm the temperature sensor or switch is functioning correctly.

Fan runs constantly

Verify the wiring of the temperature sensor or switch. It may be incorrectly wired or set to a very low activation temperature. Ensure there is no short circuit in the fan's wiring harness.

Reduced airflow or noise

Inspect fan blades for obstructions, damage, or excessive dirt buildup. Ensure the fan is securely mounted and not vibrating against other components. Check that the fan is oriented correctly for the desired airflow direction (push or pull).

Fan makes grinding noise

The fan motor bearings may be failing or there could be an obstruction. Inspect for debris caught in the fan shroud or blades. If the noise persists, the fan motor may need replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Space-saving slim profile is ideal for tight engine bays.
  • High-flow blades ensure effective engine cooling.
  • Available in multiple sizes to fit various radiator applications.
  • Reversible operation on most models offers installation flexibility.
  • Helps maintain optimal engine temperatures, especially during demanding conditions.

Cons

  • The 8" model is push-only, limiting installation options.
  • Installation may require custom wiring and mounting solutions.
  • Performance can vary based on vehicle-specific airflow dynamics.
  • Potential for increased noise compared to some factory fans.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation typically involves securely mounting the fan to the radiator using the provided hardware or a universal mounting kit. Electrical connection requires wiring the fan to a suitable power source, often through a relay and fuse, and connecting it to a temperature-activated switch or manual override for control.

Compatibility: This fan is designed to fit various radiator sizes. The 16" model is intended for radiators approximately 16" to 17" in width. Ensure sufficient clearance behind the radiator for the fan's depth (73mm for the 16" model) and the wiring.

Care: Regularly inspect the fan blades for debris or damage. Clean the fan and radiator fins periodically with compressed air or a soft brush to maintain optimal airflow. Avoid using high-pressure water directly on the fan motor.
