911 Fan conversion

T-34 - April 9th, 2007 at 12:18 AM

I need to source a 260mm 911 fan (complete with alternator and mounting strap) and also a 911 style shroud suitable for a Type 4 unit. Can anyone recommend a source for these in Australia?

Thanks in advance.

Mick.

Thanks for the info Ken.

Glad to see I'm not the only one on the net at this hour.

I'll give Mike a call next week.

a new 12 blade fan,ring & alternator can cost $1200+
a 5 blade fan can cool a 2.9litre type 4 motor
porsche used a 5 blade fan on an early lemans car
with the later fans up to 12 blade on a vw dub motor you have to be careful with air cavitation behind the fan whichcan cause cooling problems .

I agree a 5 blade fan is ample for most engines. Just not for the one I'm building.

From memory - they were used on the early 2.7 units so can happily cool something similar.

Don't worry - I'm sure you'll find a buyer

try Aporscha Parts in Melbourne they had new fan,rings & alternators for $1200 .
2nd hand alternators can be costly to fix.
Another place is Performance 9 in Melbourne.
