Mark8 fan install

**97LaserRed** · 05-18-2011, 11:01 PM

I need help installing a mark8 fan. I'm thinking since I have so much heat under my hood now with the turbo and 4v the factory v6 fan will not cut it. I ordered a mark8 fan but curious on a few things. Hoping somebody here can help.

If I just plug it in normally will the high and low speed fans work normal?

Will I need a new relay?? I've been ready they pull more juice and wasn't sure if I needed a new fuse, relay, or alternator for that matter. I'm running a factory reman alternator. Will that be enough?

Do I have to change relays or fuses?

I think the fan i got was from a 97. I'm hoping this cures my cooling issues since my front end has a small opening like the lincoln. I was told the lincoln fans flow the most air but put a stress on the charging system. My car only gets hot driving in very hot weather. Cool weather it's fine. Beating on it in cool weather it's ok. And driving normal in hot weather gets very hot.

If not, I'm pretty sure the 03/04 Cobra fan pulls the most air out of all, and will also adapt to original wiring.

I was told the Lincoln fan did 5000cfm and 03 cobras were about 3500cfm??
